I thought about it a lot and decided to take the engine out of my Show Car and put it in the Modified and put the 602 in the Show Car. For those of you who might not remember, my Show Car is the Late Model I raced from 2005 until 2017. Built in 2004, it was 14 years old by 2017, older than some of the kids I was racing against.
I will be adding weight but hope to come ahead overall performance wise. We also had Ron Easton from Oakville Trailers do major work on the suspension. Most of my race program investment went into the Modified this year, but that seems to be where I run the best.
Special thanks to Troy and Louie for helping me this past week getting a lot done. The Modified goes to Creative Edge Tuesday for a complete wrap. The Late Model goes Monday for a few changes to the Quaker State and Lincoln logo’s and some added sponsor logo’s. So important to make the Brand be as sponsors want it.
Steve tried a new look on our Pro Late, with Chrome numbers and Chrome Quaker State. It was nice, but I knew as soon as I seen it, I might have to change it after the car show. It gave off too much from reflection, constantly changing the look. It is most important to me to make sure my sponsors are happy. As for Lincoln, you can see by the picture below, it says Lincoln Welders…..and thought true, that’s not the logo they want to use. We used it a few years ago and that was okay, but in 2018 Lincoln wanted to go back to Lincoln Electric. I messed up by not telling Steve to use the original logo. Steve is great and will fix it all for me and then do the Modified after I pick up the Late Model….more news soon.
