NEXT UP
Long list of todos for the Temperrosa. And here are whispers of Car no 2, an EV. For the Temperrosa, post race inspection revealed a few things. Aside from the front struts, most things held up pretty well. Oil change didn’t have any surprises, so our last minute head gasket change, seems to have worked…

ONBOARDS
Video was a bit of a challenge. We knew there would be thermal issues (over 90F at some points in the day) and even had some venting and fans, but struggled against overheat protection with our Insta360. Will upload a few more in coming days. You can rotate the view on some of these to…

Sorry KEN
When you hit the Barbie Corvette, they make you sign it. Easy to miss the older dents now, given this new one.

RACE WRAP
We made it! 8th in our class. And first of the rookie teams! And while enduro events tend to ensure that things get worse over time, our team and car improved quite a bit from Friday testing to the final flag. When you are 90% done, you have 90% of the work left to do.…

CO2 found it’s way from the one of the cylinders into our coolant system. First during our track tests, the cap from…

LIVERY
Nearly done on the artwork, so evening drive in LA was in order inspired by this scene. Most important, thanks to our sponsors. And there are a few other references to people and resources like Clark’s Garage, without which we would have had a much harder time working on the 924. Or Claude.ai with which…

LABOR WEEKEND
Lots of progress this weekend. From more eBay sales to get our budget locked down (About $400 of parts still to be sold). Then super important stuff like protection for the oil cooler and radiator, which also looks kinda cool, especially since it’s $20 in parts from the garden section.
