11 Days and Some Work Still is Needed

This past weekend we did a lot of work to be ready for Arse-Freeze.  Sparky and I worked Saturday, and we are close to having cooling fans and gauges operating.  That all would be good.

Sunday, Lugnut, Torch, and I worked many of the items off the punch list.  The D got some love and is nearly race ready.  The D really needs a little lipstick and should be good to go.  The Z also saw some visible improvements.  So much in fact, here is the picture as of Sunday night when I said,"Enough" and closed down for night.

It looks closer than it is, but it is taking shape nicely.  With one more weekend I think we can say, "are work here should be done".

For the gritty detail here is the official punch list:
