The LoveFab Pikes Peak Edition NSX Build Thread...

Can someone give us an update here, the only 'off' we have been made aware of to date was a low-speed deal that just tweaked some aluminum in the front.

???

I'm not too surprised...bummed for the off ,but there is some serious aero going on with that car...but unless they were able to get in a windtunnel the balance of all those wings ect is going to be a work in progress.Best of luck guys!
 
More information can be found on the H-T forum;

Yeah, a second off did some damage (and injury), but the LoveFab team did what it took to stay in the race.

C&C'd from another thread:

"This event was insane. The preparations to get there, to perform there, and then to get home are unbelievable. It was just Tabitha and Myself from the 2nd until the 9th. Our crew showed up just in time to help repair the damage from the video above.

Here are a few images from the event:

We did finish 2nd in Unlimited. We were one of two teams to reach the top, out of Seven slated to race. Six actually started, four crashed or broke on the way up. Pikes Peak is NOT for the weak of heart. The cars have to be brutally strong, with years of development to be contenders. We had ours running for two weeks before we left. We then went off on day one, it was minor. We proceeded to have a BIG off on Day 2(Engineers gets everyone!). We put it back together in time for Day 3 practice. And made it to the top on Race Day with flying colors. Once we saw 80% of our class on the side of the road by the halfway point, we backed it down to 2/10ths just to save the car and reach the summit.

Speaking of the car, despite wrecking it twice, it performed absolutely flawlessly. We wanted to run more power, but we ran out of time to properly test with the 900WHP we were shooting for. So, raceday we ran it at 675WHP, at 7500ft on a Dyno Dynamics. Next year, we go for more.

All in all, we are glad it's over, and are hard at work catching up. Bear with us while we get our bearings back. The car will be at SEMA this year in one of our Sponsors booths, so we won't be getting it out of storage until October if we can help it.

To top it off.....

Thanks guys!

-Cody and Tab"
 
Can't wait to see the car at SEMA! Are you guys going out there for the show?

We are bringing the car out there for display in one of our Sponsor's booths. We will likely be there all week, as we will be hitting it hard trying for 2013 Support.

Thanks for the support guys!!! Its one for the storybooks for sure...
 
We can't wait to read about this amazing story in your forthcoming book ;^D
