It runs!

Thanks to Brendan from RalleyTuned and the guys from SpitfireEFI for all their hard work on the myriad small technicalities that kept the car from running!!

Everyone is super excited and we’ll be testing out the new car at Wild West, barring any further difficulty.

See you on the stages!!

Idaho Rally Withdrawal

Monday, July 6th, 2009

Unfortunately the Demon Rally Team will be unable to compete at this year’s Idaho Rally. The team put in a serious effort to attempt to complete our new competition vehicle in time for the event, however a series of unfortunate events and missed deadlines has forced us to withdraw from the Idaho Rally as competitors. We were not willing to show up at this event with an ill prepared vehicle and have chosen a new target event, the Wild West Rally in Pomeroy, WA, on the weekend of September 25th. By that time we should have enough time to fully prepare and test our new competition vehicle. Look forward to a great show in pomeroy this summer.

Almost there…

We are hurriedly scrambling to get the car back together and running for our testing and break-in session this upcoming weekend at the No Alibi TSD. There is a good chance we will achieve that goal at the last minute.

In the past few days we have made significant progress to getting things back together. The engine is ready for it’s fluids, the brakes have fluid in them, the custom rule-required protection on the fuel cell is installed, the suspension is ready to be adjusted, the hubs and bearings on all the corners have been refurbished and installed, the co-drivers seat and foot rest are installed, the transmission is in and hooked up to the axles, etc. etc. etc.

The to-do list is still long, so we’re putting in extra hours over the next couple of days to get everything sorted. Wiring should be finished on Wednesday and the car should start (fingers crossed) that day. There are a lot of incidental finishing tasks that must be done before we can head out on the long No Alibi trip. But we are doing our best to get some long distance testing in before we start tuning and tweaking.

Stay tuned to see if we make it!
