Off Season Prep for 2012

The #32 team began preparing for the 2012 season in early fall. We tore the car down to the last nut and bolt, had the chassis clipped and powdercoated -gloss black. The old clip was out a bunch, 1/2 inch in on the right side and almost 3/4 inch up on the right side, probablly a result of three too close encounters with the #4. We just seemed to have an attraction to each other. We ordered a new engine from Mr. Joe which is now installed, changed all of the brake lines, put all new bolts in the controll arms, new steering collum (we had already replaced the steering box last August), changed all fluids. It took us forever to get the car scaled as the front clip was so far out that we had to go back to the measurements we took of the car when we first got it. We have it pretty close. It was a lot of work but the car looks good and we are waiting to get to the track on the 11th of Feb. The new engine sounds strong, we will see how strong. We are certainly looking forward to the 2012 season.
