Wow, what a week. I made the final push in finishing up the little details ahead of the first points event yesterday. Working all day then coming home and staying in the shop until 11pm or later I'm pretty sure my wife forgot who I was. Friday night my father and I were determined to finish with just 20 hours or so til we needed to load up and hit the road. We worked til almost 4am then were back in the shop just before 8. Double and triple checking everything we got it fired up at about 11am and I was able to finally make a test launch to check the clutch and make sure the weights were set properly for locking up at around 5k rpm.
Unfortunately at about 12:30 we got word the event was cancelled due to rain and more coming so we just sat down and were able to take a breather. We then began cleaning up and got the truck put back in the shop and spent the rest of the day doing absolutely nothing, and it felt great. I do have 2 minor repairs to make already but being as how we Rebuilt this truck from the ground up, I expected certain things to not be perfect and need tweaking. I have at least 2 weeks until there is another event close by so I don't have to kill myself to get them done.
I am also glad to have had the opportunity to work with my father so much on this project. I will be 32 in a few weeks and I have never had such an involved father-in-law project. He still teaches me lots of little things and techniques to do things while I also teach him lots of things about the new technology and such. I think he was smiling way more than me after seeing the first test launch. I think it may have surprised him how violent this thing really is when you let 6 tires rip at 5k rpm and it comes up on boost.
