ERA Trip

Weather permitting, I'll be driving up to ERA Saturday to check up on my FIA car with my digital SLR. If you have a car up there in process that you want pictures of let me know the chassis number (and a brief description). I'll do my best to get some decent shots for you. If you give me an e-mail address, it will make it easier for me to get the pictures to you.

Sam, I have your #745 on my agenda.

I recall when I made the similar stop in '03 - its a great time in the process, especially if you have never been there before.

Keep your wallet in the car - if you get upstairs into the stock room, you will come away a few $$$ lighter than when you went in there.

Be sure to check out the special "winter curing technique" ERA uses for the bodies......

Actually, I've been up there about every 6-8 weeks and the first time that I saw my car was in Feb of 2006. It was in the "winter cure" process at that time.

I pm's you my email address. PeterP advised me one week ago that my build was commencing the next day. An FIA car with either chasis 2117 or 2118. RD

They've been working on your car for a year?

I put down the deposit in September of 05. That's why I really have to laugh at the guys who are upset about having to wait for their SPF or SAI for 4-5 months.

The upside is that at least I'll know mine is done right when I get it.

No, SPF's are one of the best built cars in the industry. I meant as opposed to trying to rush the build which usually results in sloppy workmanship in any industry.
