Headless Horsemen Racing

Definitely not how we wanted to see the car in the new shop for the first time. But she’s back and I would say the damage is definitely serious but not as bad as I thought from the original images that I saw. We’ll get it apart and have a better look at a few things. One thing I definitely didn’t expect is the hood only had a couple cracks on the underside and can be fixed. The chassis will go back to Sheldon Root in November to be repaired and then we’ll decide what our path forward is from there. Thank you very much to everyone that reached out to check on Trevor. The biggest help people can be at this point it to buy some Merch to help cover the repairs.

Update: thank you to all that have responded. We have filled the open positions for this season. We will host an open house in spring for new opportunities as we grow.

Well it definitely isn’t what any race team wants to have happen but Trevor had an on track incident yesterday and we’re done for the season. Thankfully Trevor was out of the car immediately and ok. Unfortunately I’m not at the event and fell horrible for that. But so happy he’s ok. Today is his birthday and would love everyone to wish him a great year ahead and to enjoy the rest of his weekend! Happy Birthday buddy!! Love ya!!

Have to send out a huge thank you to Dale Loewen for having fuel in stock and letting me pick it up after hours so we could get on the dyno last night to check everything over.

Well, have a few hours of wiring to finish up then sensor testing BUT SHE’S ALIVE! What a relief!!! 😅 Even have working working lights and interior / under car lighting for those late night sessions. Back at it tomorrow!

Countdown is on now, work has been insane, but back to the old girl this weekend with the goal of have her on the ground running by Sunday. Great progress tonight, the new MAD Racing Parts Smart Sensor Hubs have all the sensors wired into them. Tomorrow morning I’ll build the mini harnesses between the Holley Performance Brands Dominator and the Sensor hubs, and get the steering wheel buttons back wired up. From there it’s a few hrs of testing everything

Decided to do a last minute upgrade on the sensor wiring and upgraded to the new MAD Racing Parts Smart Sensor Hub. We previously had their 8 port blocks but I like the extra protection of the individual circuit protection. Time to wrap things up know that these have arrived and get the car running.

Came across some pics from Gimli back in 2002. She was a real deal street car back then. Trevor drove the car to the track and back, when he got his 9sec NHRA competition license.

Another 10 ish hrs on the old girl today and honestly looking at the pics, it’s pretty hard to tell. Got the bump switches installed finally after having them sit in a box for years, will make running the valves much quicker. The rest of the day was spent working on the wiring at the panel. At this point the plywood has received so many comments I almost don’t want to remove it. 🤪. Probably another 10-12 hrs to get all the sensors wired back to their blocks and tie in the steering wheel buttons and taillights.
