A Giddy Letdown

Rate this Entry
The contest details have been [URL="http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/design/"]announced[/URL].

I'm giddy with excitement.

Yet strangely unfulfilled. I was expecting a lot more guidance on goals, chassis hard-points, something other than wheelbase and track width.

However, I do find the "Two-seater roadster design (removable hard top may be added in concept drawings)" line to be refreshingly open. I'm damn worried about getting the windshield/top right. But I did have a minor epiphany about that earlier tonight...

The upside of all this is that I have to get up for work in six hours and am far too excited to sleep!

Good luck to everyone participating in the contest!

    I've been out for a week at the very worst time as the contest launched this morning. I'll be working with Mad Dog here at Factory Five to get some releases up and persuade Jim to pry a drawing or two (chassis) to add to the contest. Really good luck and I think we'll be hosting ALL submissions here on this forum as the contest runs.

    Thanks for the quick reply Dave,

    I'm really excited to get working on this and as the day wears on, I'm starting to enjoy the freedom of not having to design to chassis points. I think your point over on the GRM forum that the winning design will not be the final body style, but serve as inspiration for your designers (my summation), is very helpful.

    Glad you're so involved here and over at GRM, I hope you'll find this future customer's blog exciting!
