RMW X-1 the solution to track day excitement!
Here we will go through the journey of making a turn key race car from the ground up. All of the people who helped to make this a reality. The many sponsors, friends and family. I can't thank everyone enough. It's been tough meshing everyone together with time lines, health issues, death and about everything else under the sun. I wish I could have gotten this done before my parents passed away. I'm sure they would have been proud.Heart The car will be at SEMA but it will not be in the final condition as I have other stuff that won't be done. So I will treat you to pics of the car as it has gone from thought process to reality.
First sponsor: Good Aero LLC, the best wing you can find out there

the reason it looks like an airplane wing is because it's made in an aircraft facility

winshield has been laid back 4" for aeroBig Grin

rain gutters etc have been taken off and blended for smooth airflow

roof is stand length, when we laid back windshield we added to body behind gas cap so car looks proportional. Even Colin didn't notice the windshield was laid back
