We welded in new brackets for the seats and belts. By that time it was about 3:30am so we called it a ââ¬Ënight.ââ¬â¢ After a few hours of sleep, we were back at it at 7am on Friday. Our goal was to get there to pre-run the course before dark, so we got right back to it. No rest for the weary.
The Corbeau seats and 5 point harnesses went in. The entire windshield frame was cut off. A replacement hood was fitted and new hood pins installed. The homemade tube doors were removed as they were bungeed shut. This was a real pain, because the hinges were welded to the door posts. A big hammer, chisels, and cutting disc fixed that. After running through the bolts, we put the tires on it and got it ready to go back into the trailer. We hooked up the enclosed and crammed it full of tools and our supplies and finally a Bronco.
Our original goal was to leave at 11am, but ended up leaving around 2:30pm and getting there at about 4:30pm. Still enough day to get a lap or 2 in. We registered, unloaded, bolted the race wheels on, and suited up.
