If you still have all this, I need it!

Our beloved Ariel Atom customer came to us for a flat bottom and diffuser just before Christmas. We then went to Sebring to tune it all to work with the wings we installed the year before. http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii513/fieldsrb/Photo%20Jan%2001%2010%2032%2030%20PM_zpsvpuatrzx.jpg http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii513/fieldsrb/Photo%20Dec%2018%202%2005%2053%20AM_zpstmwvqpx0.jpg http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii513/fieldsrb/Photo%20Jan%2002%203%2012%2041%20PM_zpsmzvk0vqz.jpg http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii513/fieldsrb/Photo%20Jan%2002%2012%2058%2059%20PM_zpsh1subp7u.jpg

Went to go pick up a motor for the mazda and the guy was shining this up. John Player Special Europa. Sorry for crappy pics. http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii513/fieldsrb/Photo%20Jan%2031%209%2040%2014%20AM_zpsxugfunin.jpg http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii513/fieldsrb/Photo%20Jan%2031%209%2040%2004%20AM_zpsr2xjvirj.jpg http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii513/fieldsrb/Photo%20Jan%2031%209%2040%2031%20AM_zpsesmq7x4s.jpg

^ Thank you! No problem. Someday we'll get a really nice one on there :thumbup: Also, I'll probably do a post on it later, but I'm down at Sebring doing testing with a customer car and having a blast. 78 and sunny!

Glad to hear it! Let me know if I can help with anything in the meantime

Thank you! More than happy to provide what help I can.

It's an 84 300D (inline 5 turbo diesel). It's just something old and slow, but I'm having some fun with it. Eventually it will have a bit more oomph, but I have too many other people's cars to worry about at the moment so my compound turbo dreams will have to wait.

You could just shorten that to the first two words. I'd race a snowblower

In that picture, I'm just the spectator in red. I was busy watching the diffuser and a few other things on the car. The mustang is one of the cars built and raced by Paul's Automotive Engineering in Cincinnati. They are a fantastic Ford shop, with numerous racing championships between their customers and themselves. I have been helping with their aero since 2012, and they run a GOODAero wing on the car. That particular car is a rear-mount turbo build. http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii513/fieldsrb/10806250_731438503592068_1210923574365451429_n_zps7pl4u1zs.jpg

Thanks for the kind words everyone! Absolutely. I had a euro s50 to swap into this car, but other projects became priority and the rules for NASA GTS are in flux so I let it go. Thank you for the suggestion! I'll be around, and I'm happy to drive on just about any surface! http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii513/fieldsrb/11403068_10206365035979184_1942803735457359362_n_zpsx969ka8i.jpg Bob! It's been too long, we'll have to catch up the next time I'm in town. The original idea was to snag a pro formula mazda drivetrain, separate the the transaxle and motor a la Porsche 944 with the driveshaft in the middle, and make a stupidly fun track toy out of it. Rotary power, rear mounted sequential 6 speed, and less than 2200 pounds!

Thanks! Only one on hand at the moment is from when I went to pick up the RX-2. Still unsure what its destiny is, though a few good ideas are floating around. Both are in storage at the moment while I work on getting the Alfa ready as a present for my father. http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii513/fieldsrb/image%206_zpsedtrkvwz.jpeg

Hi CR! New to the forum, based loosely in Ohio but this is always subject to change. I have family and friends in Columbus, and I am typically in town at least once a month. http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii513/fieldsrb/1601311_10204089623295289_1657484013663958030_n_zpsrmdq1vv0.jpg Outside of my day job in the aerospace industry, I build composite race car parts, (I own GOODAero, a provider of top tier aerodynamics products for road-course racing) as well as do aerodynamics and data engineering consulting for private racing teams. Lots of good stories and insights from those experiences for anyone interested. http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii513/fieldsrb/KPM_2210_zps3dwkokal.jpg I am also involved with the Ault Park Concours in Cincinnati if anyone here is of that persuasion as well. :thumbup: Cars, subject to change on a near daily basis: 99 Audi A4 rallycrossin' wagon, 95 BMW 318is track car to be, 84 Mercedes Turbosaurus, 74 Saab Sonnet, 72 Mazda RX-2, 71 Alfa Romeo Spider.
