Ann Marie, I'm trying to find a way to make that work. If I can figure out where the swap will get done I'll work out the funds some how. I'd like a shop to do the swap for me though. I do have a garage I can use, but there is no lift. Anyone have the confidence to do a TT swap on my Z with me? I have a bunch of info how to do it and another guy that will help.
I got the call today and they are talking about shipping the cars out to CA on the 29th then starting shooting Dec 1st and should run until Dec 20. (The day after my birthday lol) So it would have to be soon.... really soon.
I plan on doing a website for the show following our steps from casting to winning! Obviously I won't be able to do it until after the show is aired and all the legal crap is covered, but I think this would be awesome publicity for a shop to show the type of cars they can build in a short notice.
My car don't need much work for the TT swap. Just the few things pulled from the clip and swapped over. The job could be done in a weekend with a lift. And I'm sure I can find a few sets of hands to help as well.

Did you talk to SWIFT about the swap? Throw them a little national publicity since they're already a sponsor for NERally? Dentsport Garage in Norwood, MA is also great and always looking for some National attention. They build some pretty awesome cars, including one of the fastest time-attack 240sx's made. www.dentsport.comI'd say Synaptec-3 in Candia, NH but I doubt they'll make your short timeline. You could give Dana or Ron a call at Synaptec-3 and see if they can do it in your timeframe, at least they're pretty close to you. Phone: 603.244.4631

Not yet. I'm going to call Swift tomorrow and see what they have to say. They would get a ton of publicity from this. On the website I make for the show I'll give them a few pages of tribute.
I don't know anyone ay Dentsport or I'd ask them.
All I need is labor and I'll even help.

Yeah, I am a bit "put-off" that it's $20K to play and you have to be approved. I am sure $40K wouldn't get me in as my coolness factor is very overshadowed by my dork-factor. Anyhow, NER is less $, much better folks (celeb.'s wouldn't talk to me anyway), and just as fun (where else can you stir up an entire state police force but in ME?).Go NER 2009!!!! You forgot RI in that one lol

Noah, If you get to ASPEN, make sure 1) you get to ASPEN highlands 2) Go to SMowmass and do a) The circue and b) Hanging Valley Wall Trust me, you wont be sorry......(both the Circue and Hanging Valley wall are a small hike form the summit) When we skiied out there for the National Finals, those few runs made the trip.
