August 26, 2008 - With the car finished, other aspects of preparation are moving into high gear.
I'm busy gathering up documentation and tools, and starting to wonder about things like having cellphones that don't cost $1/minute in Canada. The truck should be serviced before it goes into harness. I need a haircut. Janel and I will be taking our First Aid certification in a couple of days. Do I have everything? Have we thought of everything?
All through the build of the car, I've had the luxury of time. Lots of time. And now I'm aware that there's only a little bit of time left and little room for error if I forget something.
And I lied about the car being ready. It's on the dyno today, making sure the engine is happy. Then it's time for a bit of heat insulation and an oil change, and I need to scrub in the race tires. But it's close.
So close.
