Great to see your girl getting involved. Friends and family are what racing is all about. :mrgreen:

Thanks, Dennis and Lou!
Yes, it is fun when Ava shows interest in things that I appreciate. Her mood massively sways her interest in such non-animal or non-literary subjects, which semi-autonomous bots like myself never understand.. but that's okay. I know there are things in the universe that I will never understand.

Back to things I do sort of understand.. I got the Ruster all fueled up and also finished up the Aluminum fresh air inlet today. The car is ready to be loaded up on the trailer and run at the track. That will not happen for a few weeks, but if you stay tuned here, then you can be the first to know if the car did anything worthwhile or not.
I likely will run the engine again tomorrow as I have not started or warmed up the car since resetting the hot lash.

Some pictures:

There is a little interference between the hood and the new tube, but it will sort itself out.
