Anyway, the project is coming along. The DSR/CSR homologation certificate for the MX-1 Dauntless is now in hand. I had the car dual homologated so it is actually homologated in FB, DSR and CSR!
The tunnel floors, front fenders, side pods and rear fenders are all mounted and I am working on radiator tunnels and plumbing for the cooling system. The rear wing, rear tunnel extensions, rear bodywork extension and front fender pontoons are still to be delivered. All of these body parts are in fiberglass and as each piece is fine tuned we are ordering up a duplicate set of carbon bits from Dauntless. The air scoop in the photo has been removed so the engine cover is a hacked up version of the FC unit and once finalized will be moulded and created in Carbon. But, that may not happen until after the Runoffs.
The header and exhaust are a problem due to the tunnel height but I have high hopes that Mike Devins and Clark Lincoln's new project will help me out there. George Dean is prepping a full race 08 GSXR for me but I will continue to run my 07 GDRE motor for testing. The Runoffs motor will be wetsumped while my initial motor is drysumped. I am entered for the HPT Labor Day race but it will be close and assuming I make it, will really be nothing more than a very public test drive.
Ignore the dust in the photos, I live in west Texas and not only has it been over 100 degrees for several days, the wind occaisionally blows!
