I would love to offer up my farm for this but it is a muddy mess and Wild Bill would kill us all. Of course, we just logged an area in the pasture and you can use the stumps for "MS whoops"

Yeah I had hoped it would be dry up there so we could but does not look like this rain we are getting is gonna help out. Would have been nice to have only been 15 minutes from the shop if we needed to address anything.

Yep, I found this pic of a running unicorn earlier, so I knew you were getting close

On track for some high speed runs tomorrow to check cooling and see what problems we will need to address before the trip. :woot:

I love the simple clean lines of the Jimmys Chassis... the wrap looks kickass on that hood too Joel. Nice ass rig !

It's fast.... :dblthumb:

Will get a little video today. The midget has some pictures, he came by and snapped a few while we were finishing up yesterday.

Well we took it out today for some runs. Just have a few small things to address, nothing really major. This is car is gonna be a blast to drive. The suspension feels good. I am anxious to see what it does in the desert.

Big thanks go out to Chris Brown at White Rhino Fab for all of his hard work on the project, without him opening his shop up we could not have done it. Also Joseph and Pat for all of the late nights and time away from the family. Thanks to the sponsors that helped us out on parts and taking a chance on a motley crew from Mississippi.

How do I make the vid bigger than 1.5" wide?

Willymutt · Jan 23, 2011

So we get pictures that show any detail and then a video that is so small you can't see much at all? :gay:

chris@whiterhino · Jan 23, 2011

I think I have some more detailed pictures that I'll see about posting.

Sorry but the focus has been getting ready for KOH and not so much on pictures. The rock midget came by and took some pretty detailed pics that he should be posting soon.

But those of us living vicariously through you professional racers want pictures. Gotta give you some **** though since Wyatt is probably busy trying to get his wife to give birth, someone has to take up the slack.

Buggy looks good and I'm sure the stress is building as the days tick away.

Grab the corner with your rat and drag it to make bigger. worked for me.

Man it's all good. It has been stressful but it's all worth it now knowing it is done. I have talked to some other guys today that are running down to the wire like us. And good pics are coming.

We are far better off this year than last year. We have just a few things to finish up and we will tie everything up. Last year we left still needing to install the new radiator and fix the issue with it loading up. Its two weeks before we leave and it's 95% or more done.

Agreed 100%. Last year was crazy. I would say we are more than 95% done. One solid day and we are complete, maybe 2.
