Two local companies, Kirkham Motorsports and Racedeck, have year-round garages at the facility...and they had open house all weekend. Thanks for the hospitality...you could always pop over to their garage for some shade and a cold drink.
I had a chance to run down to Provo and visit David Kirkham...who was hip deep in building the "assembly manual" car. He took some time to show me their tube bender.
...and we turned out a set of 427 headers that were one-piece tubes!
Back at the track, one of KM's customers had been side-swiped and had a pretty rough bash in the rear quarter. Saturday was "hammer-time" as the sheet metal was miraculously restored to a condition that you couldn't tell was hit. Magic, just magic.
The Kirkhams hosted a lunch in the Luxury Suites, which had a great vantage point for viewing the track, right over the pits. There's Rich Mason, the owner of the Flip Top guarding my camera gear as I took the picture.
