1/31/2003 - Kevin K made his way from St. Louis, MO in order to help with prep work on the SPC / GF Racing SC2 for the upcoming race season.  Friday started off with Kevin and Tapp cleaning up the car.  The front body panels were all removed, and the spaceframe was given a good cleaning.

While Tapp was working his magic on the front of the car, Kevin climbed inside, and armed with a heat gun, a scraper, brake cleaner, and lots of rags, went to work on removing the sound deadening material.   Several thousand brain cells gave their lives for the effort, but they were most likely the ones that tell you that you shouldn't be building a race car anyway.

After spending the morning and early afternoon inhaling solvents and cleaners, a break to get some fresh air was long overdue.  The long-awaited call from the machine shop came - the engine's machining and balancing was complete and it was ready to be picked up.

Saturday was spent on other club-related activities - the ICY project car was moved to a new storage facility, and some parts sent in by a manufacturer were tested out on the dyno.

On Sunday morning, the bolt-in roll cage was yanked from the yellow project car.  This cage has had quite a history - it was originally Team scR's SSC cage, then became resident in the SPC yellow project coupe for a few years, and in the future it will end up in Kevin's '95 SC1.  Carlos and Chris arrived from Michigan in time for some heavy-duty shop talk where the group decided that it was time to begin the  motor assembly process.

If you are interested in helping the SPC prepare the GF Racing SC2 or would like to help us as a crew member during next year's racing season, please contact us. We would be happy to get all the help we can!
