Almost Ready

Alright, So I've had some downtime, I couldn't make it to the race in June and the July race has been pushed back to August 4th. In the meantime I've created a campaign to help raise the money to finish my car and start racing in the Rally America series for 2013. I've drained my account getting my car to where it is now, but still need a little help to get everything finished. If you want to donate or know anyone who would like to help out I would appreciate any help that I could get. You can visit my campaign here: Let's Rally!

Until then here is a new video I made as a rally racing promo for myself. The video can also be seen at the campaign website.

Rally Baybay!

Had my first RallyX race today out at Pleasant Valley Raceway. It was freaking awesome! I took my navigator, Ariel Rose, even though she didn't need to do any navigating, so she could get used to riding in the car while flying around corners. On my second race around the track I was getting a little too cocky for a corner and took it too fast and ended up going off the track, but quickly recovered. The bead on my tire couldn't take the stress and popped, but after a good 1/2 hour I got the tire all fixed and running again to do a 3rd race around the track before I had to take Ariel home and go to work. Here's a few pics and a video for y'all to watch. Let me know what you think!

Vinyl Addition

Got my vinyl decals all created and on the car. Looks pretty good if I do say so myself.

Shoot Me Now

Another short post with a lot of pictures. Here are photos from my photo shoot with the car.

Roll Cajun

Got the roll cage all put in and ready to go. Looks pretty good if you ask me. I only had 2 days to do so I spent both days up until 6 in the morning trying to get everything finished in time. There are a few things I need to add to it, but it's fine right now for AutoX and RallyX events until I get into the Rally America series.

A New Look

So I got the car all painted, and I'm not gonna lie, its not the most amazing paint job I've ever seen, nor does it come close to it. But I do have to say, it looks pretty dang good for just being $30 worth of rattlecans. Its a rally car, not a show car. I'll be replacing door panels and fenders on it everytime I run into something so it doesn't need to look pretty. So here it is.

Stay tuned for more pics from when I take it out for a photo shoot.

I'm hooked

So this will be a short post with a lot of pictures. I got the tow hooks set up on the Escort. The front tow hook was hard to see in the pic, so its not included. Then I started to get some paint work done and I got the stock airbox that I found in the junkyard back in the car.
