This weekend we will run the car up and down the airstrip one more time. Geoff and I realized that we only turned the car to the left when we checked it two weekends ago. 
We'd run down to the end and then turn left through the knuckle.
So we'll go down and turn right, and we'll setup some cones and slalom it a bit.
The rest of the weekend will be getting it ready for March 8,9th at Thunderhill. We'll flush and bleed the brakes, charge the Accusump, regrease the front wheel bearings, install the radio (nooo, the crew to driver radio, not the Sirius). I was toying with the idea of putting the BOV on and Water/alky, but the current safe tune was done without them. Neither one is easily accomplished given the shortness of the charge tubing. I have to drill and tap the compressor housing for the water/alky and drill the throttle body and scab in a fitting for the BOV.
We plan a pretty low-key weekend at Thunderhill, 4 20 minute sessions each day in HPDE 4. I doubt that we will get too many unimpeded laps to really let the car run hard. I'm running Saturday, Geoff is running Sunday.
We arranged for the AI series director to tech the car for AI legality. That way we won't be caught by something when we actually race. We'll be going, rain or shine.
If the weekend goes well, and we don't bugger something up, we're going to an open test day on the 13th. That should give us the first real chance to leg it out.

I'll see if I can get some decent pictures of AI cars while we are there on the weekend.
