We took the old Odyssey for the annual and got a log book for the Pilot today.
When we got back we started on a new car. It is a 2011 Odyssey. White body with no paint sealer or anything. We started the seam welding today. We get our budget back for the team starting in April so we have plenty of money set aside for the build.
The plan for this car will be to build it to the rules for the Continental tire series ST class. Our plant in Ohio runs 2 cars in this series so we would like to go there and are planning for Barber's race in 2013 as a start. We have already contacted Grand-am and they said they would look at our plan and work with us. It will be built for the ST class so it will be 3.5L non-turbo with a 6 speed man. We will build it as a pure track car and not a street car at all. This will help us keep some of the weight down.
To get the needed experience we are planning to do the Skip Barber school and do some NASA races this and next year.
