Quite the contrary. I gave you the opportunity to silence the naysayers to your SV-TT project. I understand if the stakes are too high, but making excuses about not liking yellow is not how to handle things.
This will be a fun race!
My car is ready to run.
Options:
1) tx2k12 would be the perfect place (March 15th), but that is probably too close for your car to be ready. You will need some time to sort things out, that's just the reality of custom cars.
2) Texas Mile March 23-25. Again, this might be too soon as well for your car.
3) We rent the Texas Mile for the day on a set date in April, and have the Texas Mile organizers run the event. I can get pricing on what that will cost, my guess is around $25k. We both pay the full ~$25k amount required for the event upfront (in case of no show). If someone no-shows, the person who shows up keeps the extra ~$25k. If we both show, we just split the extra ~$25k 50/50.
