Well, the notificatons went out about mid day today. World FInals 
cancelled because of rain and water on the salt lake bed surface. 
BUmmer, car was loaded, everything else was loaded and we were just 
waiting for Monday morning to head out. So no racing until next 
summer...but, wait, maybe I will sneak in a dyno day or 2 in between. I 
have many new things to do to the car: 1) 2 larger turbos (T3/T04E 57 
trim) or maybe one T91, 2) redo the turbo headers so I can actually see 
the spark plugs on the drivers side, 3) wrap all the wiring in loom tape 
to clean it up under the hood, 4) add my Dataq 4 channel box to measure 
boost using a 2 bar GM MAP sensor, 5) fab up some inner fender panels to 
keep the salt out of the engine bay, 6) maybe a small spoiler on the 
rear of the car to help keep it pointed int he right direction, and 7) 
lots of maintenance.

Many thanks to all those who support   and rooted for  the Spirit of 
Sunbeam this year, I was really looking forward to getting my "B" 
license and then going for the personal record and my A license. Next 
year for sure!
