We now have our numbers painted on, all six of our headlights mounted and wired up, and the car is pretty much ready to go. I managed to fry a relay by hooking it up wrong, but lesson learned. It did not damage anything and all that happened was the lights just stayed on. I bought more and better relays and the lights are all working correctly. When all the lights are on and the electric fan comes on it feels like we are turning on an air conditioner in a street car. 410 watts is a lot for the little Spitfire.
The Numbers were painted this time by one of my team mates, he did them up a little funky but with the lights, the rear gold flared fenders, and larger rear wheels, I think the it looks awesome.
I am very impressed with the Hawk Black brake pads we run. They have lasted us through all of our races so far and appear to only have worn about 1/3 of the way down. The car is really light but still very impressive. We did mount new brake drums on the rear as the original ones were starting to break down.
The rest is just tuning and maintenance. The only big thing left to do is hook up the air sensor and get our carb tuned. Less then 4 weeks until the race!
