I looked at it and tried to decide what is the next task to address to get the Blower Install done.

It does not feel like we made much progress this weekend. Tom was over and so were both of my sons. Number one son stayed behind the camera so I have no pictures of him, but I did get a picture of the number two son.

We started like this


and ended like this


In between those two the blower bag is back from DJ so we the blower bag back on with the modifications made by DJ it fits now.


Installed the rear restraint strap bracket.


Made a bracket to hold the fill can for the coolant system


it came out pretty nice

I spent the day putting together the attached Race Car Safety Data Sheet.

This was suggested by a good friend to make inspectors on race day happy.

Well I have started looking for the rest of my belt guard.

I have a RCD upper belt guard.

I have been watching FeeBay for a lower belt guard.

A friend of mine told me to take a look over on Classic Funny Car Board, that there was a  guy selling Laser cut blower belt guards "Funny car chat   about 6 7 posts down (Feb. 12) "custom blower belt guard"   $55     "

I contacted him and am in the process of having one made up for me with the racing team name cut into it. I will let you know how it comes out. He is not a dealer, just a guy supporting his racing addiction on the side.
