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.

14 Blistering Hours

So yesterday I suddenly got the urge to drive down to Nevada. What!? That's right, randomly I decided to drive down to Summit Racing for two reasons. 1. I decided that the shipping costs for the parts I was needing would come to about the same cost as gas money for driving down there ( I was wrong, really wrong. But that's okay because...) 2. I needed a vacation.

Now, spending 14 hours total driving, just to spend 2-3 hours in Sparks, NV may not seem like much of a vacation to most people, but trust me when I say I say that leaving Idaho for a good 17 hours was worth it. Especially when I haven't left this state in 3+ years. Luckily the seats in my Explorer Sport are SUPER comfortable, and 14 hours of driving was no sweat. One thing I really do like about Fords is how comfortable their seats are. The only thing I had to do was make sure I stayed awake while driving...

...which was not a problem thanks to my assortment of energy drinks and snacks. The drive down there helped with all the beautiful scenery to look at. Look! I found Mustang, NV.

After the 7 hour drive to Sparks, I finally found Summit Racing, which was everything I hoped it would be and more!

 So the entire reason I headed down to Summit Racing was for Racing Seats for Bryci and to pick up the rollcage. Shipping for these items would've come close to $100, and I spent about $160 in gas. So yes, I did spend more, but I like I said it was worth the trip. Plus now I know that my Explorer can take the drive. I also found the stock airbox that I've been needing to get for Bryci, found that lying on the ground at Pick-N-Pull with the single Escort GT that was there out of 20 other Escorts, which was pretty lucky too because I left all my tools in Idaho!
