Default Magazine build of a WC car

Here is the link to the writeup and pictures of the WC car that we are building. http://www.corvette-mag.com/art2/art2p1.html
They will be doing a couple more writeups as the car progress. Just rember that things are much futher along then the articles because they have deadlines. The chassis just got back from powder coat and will be tested on May 10. We have a pro pro pro driver coming in to drive, plus a very good shock guy. Plus all of us from the shop and the customers race team. We are going to play a game, how many people can work on the same car at the same time.

So what race will the car make its debut at ? The article say Ed Braswell is having your shop build the car. Is Ed going to drive as well or will there be a driver out of past DRM cars like Bill Cooper, or maybe RK Smith, or someone new ("pro pro pro driver") ? With Lou's car running strong and Leighton showing speed (just needs to get a finish) the SWC GT seems to keep getting better for the Corvette fans all the time.

Good luck at the races.

Ed will be the driver of the car. The reason for the pro driver testing the car is because he knows the track, and can give better feedback. Ed is a good driver, he has a ton of time driving one of our RSR cars. He also got a old WC car that he is out getting his feet wet in. The more he runs the faster he will get, this is true with everyone else.
