Visual is not enough. this car will be tracked and will also be run at 110 mph for over an hour nonstop in the upcoming Big Bend Open Road Race. Every nut is being removed and re-torqued, it's getting several new parts, and all systems will be checked for endurance fitness. It's also getting an engine swap, so the proctology exam will be thorough.
