Wow, its been a while. I haven't had much time to spend on Pennocks recently but I suppose I should pick up where I left off.

Last Octobers race at PIR was brutal. It was a monsoon and the car came away a little worse for the wear but we won our first trophy in the process!

We had our first encounters with the walls of the track and managed to hit the wall 3 times throughout the weekend. The car held up well and the damage was only cosmetic.




These are just a couple shots of the car before 2 days of perilous racing.








Some random shots of our damage. I don't have many good ones of the right front of the car after Katey stuffed it into the tire barrier but it did extensive damage to the hood and right headlight bucket. The impact also knocked the battery loose and we thought our race was over. Luckily after reseating the battery and repairing the battery cables the car fired right up and Kevin brought us home for the trophy!


Here is our bad ass minion trophy for winning our class in the October Lucky Dog Race at PIR!!!

Ill end this entry with the highlight videos of this weekends racing.

As you can see in my last post Miss Fieroline was looking a little ragged around the edges. She had raced valiantly but those racing hours had taken their toll... I had every intention of simply repairing the stock Fiero Aeronotch body work and had even collected all the body panels I needed. Thats when things suddenly took a strange turn and got very out of control!

Somebody on the Fiero Facebook page posted about a ferrari kit car that had just hit a Portland junkyard... The timing was perfect as that weekend was half off day and this proved to be much to big of a temptation. After playing hooky for a day with a team mate and spending a grand total of $137 look what followed us home...



I have to be honest the car it came off of was a pile of trash and the kit had been assembled horribly and is in truly terrible shape, in other words perfect!






We couldn't help but start hanging panels...

Then the work really began...




















If I had released how terrible our wheel fitment was going to be I might have reconsidered but it was too late now!


Rick from Projector Retrofit did our graphics and they turned out absolutely amazing.










When I painted the splitter white, the whole thing came together for me and although I am not a kit car fan I feel in love...





We spent faaaaaar too long polishing this turd but after many, many hours and tons of fiberglass dust we emerged victorious. We had a "new" car and since we were racing the La Fauxrrari now we changed our team name to Skidiera Fauxrrari. The car turned out stunning and was a blast to build... Then we took it racing...

Ill leave you guys with a little intro video Kevin put together to introduce the "new" car. It turned out very well!
