Do you mean "Little Boy" as in the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima? Because that might not be too cool if they ever get a chance to race at Tsukuba.

Anything to update? Also, maybe I missed it, but was a driver(s) named. Mainly I'm curious if Mark Daddio will be getting some seat time. Any One Lap news, will it be ready in time and who will be driving for that event?

Thanks

AMS is building another one and we are applying everything we have learned over the past season and putting it into effect on the new TA2 (pronounced Tattoo) Car.

We have a shell here that is being stripped as we speak. After its disection process we will send it to be acid dipped. Following her Stay in the hot Tub we will Seam weld the car and go from there. This last season was fun but its time to get serious.

Here are some tear down pictures from today:








Nice work in progress!!! you guys gonna keep the car WHITE for this one??!?!?! ^_^

You can come down and see it.

The biggest reason for the pause in building is because we are testing a good deal of things on the current TA car. Once we have finalized the setup it will then transfer over to the New TA car. Development is still going on but its being done on the current car to save some time.

Im sorry guys but we are still testing on the old car. We dont like to do things twice here. The New car will be worked on once we have the chassis work set in stone on the current car.
