It's a really good day when Dave Smith call you up and asks you to prep their 818 and take it to the Grassroots Motorsports Magazine Ultimate Track Car Challenge. Their R&D department is swamped with the SnapOn coupe build, wind tunnel testing and a few other secret projects. The car arrive with an unpainted body and the major components mounted to a new frame. I pulled the body and took the panels to my painter for the paint and body work. While the painter was working his magic I set out on going through the chassis, putting a race alignment on it, wiring the car, putting on the dyno and tuning it. I am 98% done and will have a test day at the track next week and then off to VIR on My 19 for the UTCC!
