Thanks Tony!
Update..
We are prepping for our next event... the Ohio Muscle Car Challenge held at Pittsburgh International Race Complex on August 16th-17th.
During the autocross at Syracuse Nationals last weekend our steering column had become very loose. After some research we found the article below from Car Craft and that fixed it. Four loose bolts inside the column. We had to buy two specialty tools to do the fix, just as the article recommended.

Yes I remember those bolts well... I was very lucky to have a friend who was able to fix mine in like 20 minutes. Cheers to that!

I am glad it is an easy fix. We were thinking we would need a column. So we were happy.
I don't know what cooling fan you are using but I got an email about a 2 blade fan that frees up a little hp and still does the job. Ramey may have already seen this blade but I thought I"d post it anyway

That's pretty neat.
We just have a stock fan on it now. The Dakota Digital has a fan control so when we upgrade we'll probably use twin Spal's and a Wizard radiator.

I had to do that tightening procedure in my 1989 Jimmy- the column and wheel moved all over the place.
Sorry for the delay. After a great season in 2014 we are ready for a few tune ups for the 2015 season... which is coming quickly!
In the meantime our R&D has been busy working on a few new products to help the car excel in 2015. A rear coil over kit is in the works now and almost completed. The lower mounting bracket below is designed to work with or with our UMI control arm relocation brackets. We also have another cool lower bracket that has control arm relocation built into it, one bracket can do two things. Pictures coming soon.
We will post some better pictures shortly.
