It's Official

We have now recieved our entry confermation with the date of our heat, it will be on the 24th June 2010. That should give us plenty of time to build and fully test the car before the season starts. The venue is Newquay Airport this year, a new track to us so we will definatly have our work cut out for us! To qualify for Goodwood we have to procure a podium finish which last year was a drive of about 60 miles in 4 hours, a tough task but one that I am sure that we will be more than capable of. On a construction note, the fillets which reinforce the bulkheads are ready to be glued into place using the bone glue which will happen in the next few days so we are still on track for the Christmas deadline for the box chassis.

This Week's Progress

The floorpan and all the bulkheads are now cut, a little sanding and they will be complete. Work has also started on the cedar fillets which will reinforce all the joints. The three way mitres are proving complicated, but after plenty of practice with scrap wood the boys are ready to cut the real ones tomorrow.
