How many hours do you typically spend prepping your car for each race? I know there are a lot of factors depending on what breaks but if you averaged it out what would your guess be?

:D

Every night I'm not at work I am in the shop workng on the car. Once it gets down to the last two weeks I'm there till 3 or 4 in the morning.....Alot of prep time

Borrego Boy spends hours in the bathroom. Hours! I have never seen someone carry so many hair products to a race.

Oh...you meant "prepping the car."

Engine maintance takes a couple of hours, cv's takes a couple too. Then it's adjusting brakes, and making sure everything is tight. Vacuum out the seats and floor. Whole time the battery is charging on the trickle.

Fixing damage/broken stuff from the last race is the variable. Anything from an engine swap to putting on a new tire?

And then yes, I do spend a lot of time fixing my hair before any event.....

Yes, its true. But its hard to break old habits. When most of you were in kindergarden, I was wareing a mullet, kinda like Pistol Pete! FYI I did leave my shampoo in San Felip at our south of the border team mates house. Pic is post mullet days!!

Lookin Good Richard, is that finger broke or are you flippin me off?

I think Robert is talking about paint prep not race prep LOL I am all geared up to put a racing stripe on that pertty car of yours

not again! I was looking forward to you sharing the wealth with some of the others!!! And paint prep takes three weeks!
