the transformation of a street car to a race car

this past weekend we were in hastings, nebraska for W's first track event with his brand new race car! shortly after our last track weekend in pueblo, we got the integra back from the shop with a beautiful new custom roll cage. he got most of his safety equipment too, so he is just about ready to do some wheel to wheel racing. it's very exciting. :) we also got our trailer (finally, we've been trying to get this thing since february!). so we got to tow the car to nebraska, which was nice since it was about a 7 hour drive. on to the pictures...

stripping the car down to the bare metal. W removed EVERYTHING, even the sound deadening material which he had to break off with dry ice!



spiffy new sparco racing seats and 6-point harnesses (feels like a baby seat!)

and here we are at the track!
