Pikes Peak International hillclimb

Instead of just typing away, and then posting and seeing all the spelling errors, Im going to try and type slower, and reduce the spelling errors. My 6th grade English teacher wouldve been proud.

Well, Pikes Peak (PPIHC) just updated their website, and it looks a treat now. so check it out at www.ppihc.com. Navigate it a bit, there is plenty there.

This week the injectors go in, and a quick checkover at MEEKS ( www.meekautomotive.com.au ) next week should see it get a clear bill of health and we 're off to the last test day at Wakefield on the 26th of April. Im actually instructing ( www.circuitclub.com.au ) but will take the car out for a few hard laps to get some data with the lap top hooked up to keep the ECU magician happy. The we drop it at Port Kembla on the way back home that night for shipment.

Entry is paid for ($1700 USD), Hotel is paid for ($1000 for ten nights). Just have freight to pay for and a truck and trailer, as the big ticket items. Currently we budget for $500 for the trailer use and $3500 for a truck to use. then we just have airlines tickets ($2400 for two return)
