We're moving up in the world!

Coming very soon.  www.abingtonrally.com  Right now it just redirects to Dave's homepage, but the site should be up soon!

Rally NY

We'll be headed down to Rally New York tomorrow morning, pics to follow!

555

We got the 555 graphics in from England!

Evo

To help out a fellow CT rally team, I took in this Evo to do a little work.

It turns out that the cage was built slightly outside the rule book. The a-pillar reinforcing tube, from the floor to the top of the windshield, wasn't properly positioned so there was a dead-end load path. Noah, the car's co-driver, brought the car to me and I cut the old tubes out so their cage guy can put new ones in.

They are also upgrading the roof reinforcements from a single tube to a V configuration.

We look forward to competing against them, even though they have twice the horsepower!

Rally BBQ

Chris Wilson, owner of the now retired Legacy Rally car, is hosting a rally BBQ on Saturday August, 15th, we're looking forward to meeting more New England Rally People!

Flappin' and Switchin'

Had a chance to get the mud flaps and switch panel installed in the rally car last weekend.

Flaps look nice, they really make a rally car look like a rally car!





The switch panel is all made up and partially wired. It will ultimately control the pod lights (4), fuel pump, ignition, master disconnect, map lights, interior light, rear fog, fogs etc.

Mirra at STPR

My 11 second clip of Dave Mirra hitting the stop sign at Asaph at STPR has gathered 11,000+ hits in three days, check it out for yourself:

Wicked Big Meet

We'll be brining the rally car up to Wicked Big Meet this Sunday. It should be a good time. The car still has a fair amount of little things to do to it, but it is running and driving so that is a big step. I have the scoop for the roof vent coming in this week, so hopefully that will be painted and installed in time!

Mid Winter Update

The car has languished for a couple weeks while we do some much needed upgrades to ARU world headquarters. My 700 square foot garage just wasn't big enough, so we added about 400 more square feet of storage space to clean it up a bit, nothing worse than a cluttered work space! Once this work is done, we'll be back on the machine, just in time for the nice weather!
