Chassis #75 was picked up in the September, 2016, at the delivery point in my state -- Allan Vigil Ford in Georgia (in hindsight, I would have select Wade Ford)

This is the car bone stock. Had to have the driveway regarded to allow for the R to travel up or down, given how low it is. BD EVEN AFTER the leveling of the drive, the R still carved up driveway. [emoji41]

Not posting things in order, because it's just too much. But will build a library of the work done on the R over a period. Hope that's okay.
This was custom work done around a telemetry data system -- built around the new era AIM -- by and from the guys at L2 Motorsports in Atlanta.

That's a very clean install of the AIM and good use of the space on a non AC car. Well done!

This was a very cool session recently between the R and a Porsche GT3 RS at Barber Motorsports Park. We battled for 25 minutes nonstop. Who says a Ford can't hang with a GT3 -- RS no less.

Will get back to upgrades and details of the R in just a moment (smile), but first some more driving and large grins inside of the helmet...

Thanks. Would love to take the credit but L2 Motorsports did the design and heavy lifting.

We feature many of the Operation HOPE related philanthropic brands on the vibrant livery for the R. Let me know what you think.

Fire suppression system (see the pull lever behind passenger seat to the right, neck level).
Standard R Recaro seat for passenger with four-way belts, and OMP racing seat on driver's side with 35-point belt.
Watson Racing roll bar in red. Camera mounted center for AIM system.

I figured if it didn't add any track weight, then a nice look was preferable -- so we added alcantara touches, including this and the center storage cover, the area that touches your driving leg (this is a life saver), etc.

This AutoBlip is AMAZING!! Really helps in managing the downshifts when you are moving fast -- and saving your transmission! Also, it allows the R to be competitive with Porsche's and others using paddle-shifting. Just my opinion though, I am sure purist might think different.
