You now have an official race car there! Gutted on the inside and good to go! (on the technical side, it may not be street legal especially when the headers and downpipes go in... an emissions nightmare for the streets of CALI).
...but my point is, without the interior insulating the heat particularly from the floorpan and firewall, its gonna be hot as heck in there! I remember this from my days running NASCAR. its bad enough with the nomex race suit/gloves/helmet!
i am sure you have this covered but longacreracing.com carries all that heat protectors and such and they are quick with their shipments. they even provide you space on their website to create "racing team pages"...
so potential sponsors can browse prospects...
if you make the mid-ohio run, i believe you will draw a very large XFF.org community there to cheer The Crossfire Racing Team on!!!
cheers...
