    That video was taken early in the day about 2 weeks ago during a testing session. I know the folks from Motec were on hand to make some adjustments.... Seems to have worked, as the car performed very well in Portland.

    Mike, I think you will get to see the #2 car as well. My understanding was that it was scheduled to be finished tomorrow at AWR, and over the weekend at the paint shop. Not too sure what your schedule is regarding Cleveland, but Im sure you will be fine.

    FYI....I dropped off the Truck, and it was getting taken in for service for the generator, adding propane, water, and freon. You should be ALL set for your trip. If I were on this one, I would probably stay right there in the truck. Its all set-up now.

    Yeah, the ecos in there sort of does make it sound wierd. The motor is a Cosworth built Atlantic Mazda motor.

    Probably so...you have to talk to guys who know if you want the info...

    He is still getting used to the differences from his 240, which will take some time...seat time! Wheel base differences, turbo vs. non-turbo....lots of things to get used to.
