There is something exciting that we're going to try this season! Check this out:

After some discussion with Jimmy and my own, personal experience with doing live-stream broadcasting, we've decided that we're going to get a UStream account and stream our team activities. Of course, we'll just have the happenings in the shop for the time-being but we also hope to take this capability to the track throughout the season so our fans can watch us live as we get the cars ready to race. USAC has streaming of the events themselves available and we'll get this worked out with them so that way we don't step on any toes with copyright issues.

What we may end up doing is broadcasting our activities in the pits as we run hot laps, qualifying and general preparations throughout the day. Once it's time to line the cars up and go racing, we'll defer to USAC so as not to over-lap with their live timing and scoring which will be available through www.usacracing.com.

We may try to keep the audio on at our events. However, we may require some feedback (polite, please!) that if the sound quality is no good with other cars running, we can turn off the audio and just stream the video portion of the broadcast. We 

So, as we make an attempt to enter the 21st Century and do something bold and exciting, we invite our fans and sponsors along for the ride. We hope that you'll enjoy it and maybe, it will add something to your experience.

In the meantime, I only made it to the shop a couple of times this week as I had other commitments to address. I hope to get out there at least three days this week so I can try to keep up with Jimmy!

Mindy from Brownsburg Signs has been spending about as much time with our cars as we have and we appreciate the way that they're looking. She was able to get us some black vinyl wrap with which to cover the dirt car and it is really starting to look good:

This is how some of the panels look right now and Jimmy's been cutting and heat-shrinking vinyl all week. Very soon, we're going to have a complete dirt car. Note that there is a new spud in the frame. Jimmy drilled that out and our welder, Danny, came out last weekend and among other spots on the car, was able to weld that in there and give us a new mounting point for the rocker arm.

We're also in the process of putting the pavement car all together as the decals have been finished on that. We hope to do a little photo shoot with Jimmy and the cars before the middle of April and we'll be sure to post pictures as soon as we can.

In the meantime, we'll be back at it this week and we'll have another update out to you soon!
