Okay guys, just deal with the situation right here and this is one of those deals where you guys can help us kind of guide the content of the channel. And just given the circumstances of everything going on right now, we're in a little bit of a bind for what we want to do for race week, which is a great problem to have. And we're trying to decide if we take the plan is for sure to take two cars and then hopefully a C8. The Cooper drive the C8, I'll drive one of the other cars, James will drive one of the other cars. But here's where we're at, we got, Lee Roy is broken but we'll be facing time. Ruby is broken, which I'm going to show you guys in an upcoming video. Both of which can 100% be repaired in time for race week. And the cars can probably make the week. The El Camino however, which was my main goal was to take that to race week. It's so far from being complete that it's crazy. Like we got it back today and we just made a game plan for painting the bumpers and the dash and the hood. And I mean we need headlights, tail lights, door handles, windows back in the car, door panels back in the car. I mean that's just a start of it. There's not a single wire on the car. There's not a third member in the rear end. There's not an engine in the car. Texas speed will can and will have an engine done. Fuel lines, brake lines, fuel system. Yes. So we have two options. We would have to drop everything we want, everything we are doing and want to do tomorrow and go full blown El Camino. And then have it done probably the day before we leave for race week untested. You know, potentially overpowered car. You know, for its own good to get massive turbos. I just don't see it being realistic to try and do that at this point. Like a week ago, that was my plan was to just go full rev El Camino. But after this whole week and I feel like basically what I'd be doing then is just forcing El Camino content down your guys throw when we're not really ready for it. Right. We'd have to drop the seven second quest with Ruby. Go full El Camino. We'd have to drop this special Crown Vic project going on in the shop that you guys will see tomorrow. Oh, dude, it sucks. It's just looking more and more like the El Camino can't go on race week. Kind of unreasonable to push it to go on race week. Yeah. Or like that needs so much testing. But I'm fums. I don't know if that's what I'm working for. I wanted to talk to you guys and see what opinions you had on it. I mean, would it be best to just race the car a couple months, take it to drag week potentially or take it to LSFest. Race it there. Make sure it's good. Dial it in. You know, there's always another race week. And it's not like you have everything that it needs sitting in a box. Just needs to go on. That's true. Like we don't have anything. Yeah, we have to definitely start overnight and stuff. We just have the trends. So as I, I mean, also got here to kind of waste some options, but as I explain it out loud, it just sounds so. Not possible to have the thing done. You would have the car would have to go from a shell to. Race ready in like three weeks to have enough time to test for a week. Whereas class that it fits in is like a very fast class. Yeah, I mean, it puts us in unlimited class, which is the fastest class and like thing. And who knows what it'll even weigh and if it'll make those rules plus we have to certify the chassis. Through the NHRA in that time. So it's like, dude, I think we put ourselves in a position where we can do it and say we did drop everything and try and get the outcome. You know, even close. We're then at the point where. Ruby and Leeroy are just completely neglected until that point where we need to take one of them to. And then we have two cars that aren't ready. So we can have two very ready race cars or. One potential disaster and one unready Corvette. So think boys what we're going to have to do is. Finish the El Camino the month after race week. You know, or even just keep kind of doing what we've been doing and working on it here and there, which has been. It's getting it's gotten a lot of progress now. So you'll see it in the crown of a video. But. I don't know how it seems. Seems it out loud right? Like we got to just push it. I mean, is it possible? Yes. Is it reasonable? No. Yeah, true. Like how many weekends and nights in the next month you want to spend. Yeah. I mean, you have the ability to spend. I think even if we did spend every weekend and night on it, it still would be like an unprepared mess. Which is fun. I love a good unprepared mess. I'm all about being a part of Chishos. But this is like 1300 mile challenge. And what if we tear the car up or freaking, you know, worse James gets hurt because there's a loose bowl. So if we want the car to be right, we have to wait. That's what it's coming down to. So I guess I'm putting this video up then at this point to announce that we're probably moving the up and down. I guess way your opinions in the comments below. Let us know what you think. It's just kind of one of those things where we had to. Honestly, we just walked out there and looked at it and the reality set in that there's no, there's not even a damn tail light in the car. There's not even a damn side marker. Like where do I even get an El Camino side marker? Because ours are old and beat up on the other cars. What third member driveshare fast to be made? Yeah, boy. That looks good. No brakes on the back. No brake lines. Hope you guys are ready for a Corvette race week. It is what it is. One of those things. Like I am a definitely bummed because I wanted the Alcote to be ready for race week this year. It seemed like we had all the time in the world. But we just have so much other fun stuff too that we have to do. Because what's the point of, you know, dealing with what we do for not also doing the stuff we enjoy. Not that we don't enjoy working on the El Camino, but you know, we love like, I would probably find more enjoyment seeing Leroy have a super successful race week. And sometimes I guess I'm just a little blindsided by that when you got something new and shiny in front of you. That's the reality of it folks. It's got a solid couple months of work to be the car we wanted to be like. Remember Tom Bailey's car in that video? That thing had freaking every switch in that car work. There was not one thing in that car at Tom Bailey was like, oh, that doesn't work. I could get Leroy and Ruby and tell you five things that don't work. Wheel speed sensors don't work. Ruby's IAT sensor doesn't work. So let's see what the list would go along. We don't have drive shaft sensors, we don't have rear end, like rear wheel speed. We've got problems with the parachute on Ruby. You also have to put like a roof style system on Leroy, like some kind of like, yeah, target hub. Yeah, Ruby's windows don't work right now. Yeah, so much crap. Ruby's pretty heavy for what? Yeah, we could ditch a bunch of weight out of her. So, battery needs to be in the back of Ruby. Yeah, I think the plan then would be, we finished the C7, and we get that thing out of the door. And then we just go full blown, Ruby Leroy, until we're fully prepared that they are the cars we believe they can go to race. We can have a successful rip. That'd be... Seems like the only reasonable route. And then watch this freaking CA is going to break. So it's not an axle. I mean, it is going to break. Dude, that's scary. Have you guys seen C8's breaking axles when they go drag racing? Damn. I haven't seen many Corvette's not breaking axle going drag racing. It's kind of Corvette. It's kind of just an end thing. That's true. That's true. It's kind of a GM thing for sure. Freaking... Every GM I think we have, besides C7, is broken an axle. Tiled was broken on a 0 on this weekend. That's true. We need spare axles. Leroy's got two spares. Ruby has spares now. So we're good. We just need some C8 spares. And then we're set for race. What else could possibly be an issue? So... Alright guys, this has been your live action update with Cleater. Just a little bit of reality, as we think our way through some of these obstacles like, you know, too many freaking bald eagles on this one is the problem. But I think if we get through race week successfully, then we can take both cars home. Hopefully in good condition. They'll probably be a little beat up. And then we can go full Alchemy now for a little bit. Compilish all our goals and take the right time to do it. Get it ready for all of us best East. I don't like it. See you guys.
