Plavan's 818R Build Thread

[C.Plavan]

***I got an email from Dan- My production date moved back October 5th.....***

Someone's 818R just got "hot listed" baby! I'm glad I sent in that email when they asked for volunteers. My production date is now Aug 17th 2013.

My 818R is a "Non Donor" build. I'm just piecing it together. I have probably 80% of what I need already.
This car will be campaigned in NASA racing series on the West Coast in the ST? class. It will eventual make it to the WERC endurance series in the ES class.

Powder coated

*Special request for the additional crossbar like in the Test 818R. ** I don't need no stinking passengers- Its a race car. I'll scare them in their own car at the track if I need to. Update: They would not do it

Clean parts are fast parts- I have been putting the elbow grease into them.
