Who has most to do before cz28 nats?

I'll put in my entry.

I have to get and install my tranny from the darn tranny shop who said I'd have it last Friday.

I have to have my 6-point wolfe cage welded in on Thursday or Friday (depending on whether it gets here tomorrow or Thursday).

Still gotta pick up firejacket from ramchargers but that's easy.

ET Streets are here and mounted so they are good to go.

And I gotta install the 5-point harness and modify the stock seats as needed to make it work.

Take a look at this link for what's going on w/ the ugly blue z.

Same boat as you with the tranny, PLUS LCAs, some N2o plumbing (bulkhead fitting and some final tie up), mount the line lock switch, and a wash and cleanup.

Hey Sean, just leave most of the interior out. You don't need it any way do you?

Good luck this weekend. Hope you don't have to use that harness for what it's intended.

Looks like rollcage will not be here in time so I'll get to make one full blast run at the end and the rest I'll have to let off so I don't get the boot.

I'm contemplating going w/ a basically track only car and cruzin around Friday / Saturday nights. I can leave the radio and that's about it. Backseats weren't going to be put back in anyways (have had them out for over a year probably) and most of the other stuff is useless :-). We'll see how lazy I get when it comes time to putting that horrible 1 piece carpet back in.

Next race I'll be ready for sure :-). But I'll still have a blast this weekend whether I get the boot or not.

you sounds like I did a couple months ago.. then I got a job where I had to commute 100 miles a day in that "street strip car."

I had planned on working locally and just using my truck. but 100 miles a day gets expensive in a truck that gets 10mpg. So the race car made the trip for a week or two...then I had to call Q and get a new interior back in the car. I couldn't take it.

Still have no HVAC or airbags, but the interior is back in place. And I don't regret it!

Just got my trans back from the shop at midnight. So I still have that and related items (exhaust, starter, etc) a cleanup, and a battery tie down.
