Roxanne is going to race school

So, Phil tech'ed Roxanne this evening - passed, Roxanne is going to WSR

Only got alignment left to do - Friday evening. Based on short drive it runs quite well. Shifting great after the monkey kit rebuild, driveshaft without vibration after rebuild and re-balance,... Only issue is pinging. Though, that is easily fixed. With stock timing advance I run 87 without problems, but with increased advance it pings. First try will be to fill 91 in there. If that doesn't do it I will have to retard timing - no biggy.

This evening I even wiped down Roxanne

Some pics below.

1. Fire extinguisher (well within reach!)
2. Wide angle race rearview mirror - no way the stock would fit with the roll cage
3. Seat with belts - also the rear view mirror can be seen
4. Ready to go
5. Another...
