craig will you be ready for grattan? leo was talking lots of smack this weekend with his 1:45

**Ted7rns** · 04-15-2008, 11:00 PM

Yeah, He told me he doesn't need no 2.3!!! Also he did it on RA1s... I feel a Craig's record will fall soon , Of course it might be by him

**CCapaldi** · 04-16-2008, 07:33 AM

Chris, My goal is Grattan but I hope to get out to Waterford at least once before that to shake down the car.

Cars getting close now, I have to finish connecting everything under the hood after the motor swap I did while you fellas were racing in the snow! Also need a master switch and relocate the battery to get it on the track. Theres some other odds and ends that I would like to get done before that but not must haves, lexan, SS brake lines, ect.

Hmmmm. Leo has more years at MO than I've been around, I just have to remind him now and again 07 Nationals was only my 3rd time at MO and he tends to leave me alone for a bit. I'll guarentee the records will be broke at all tracks around here this year with the new tires and Leo behind the wheel finally.

Ted....I need the 2.3 to help mask my mistakes!

That is the way it is when you are his father, some one needs to keep him in line and keep him from getting to cocky.

Oh ask him about the first time I followed him around Waterford trying teach him what it feels like when someone is trying to pass you. His wife said the stains were hard to clean out.

**InFocusTraSTi** · 04-17-2008, 08:34 AM

Will do

**TfnG** · 04-28-2008, 11:56 PM

any updates? gonna make it to putnam in may?

**CCapaldi** · 04-29-2008, 10:51 AM

Not sure about Putnam unless Leo finds a couple renters then I might try to work something out.

You should try to make it to a Mid Ohio for at least one event, the Speed in Focus event should have a good turn out for SF racers!

Give your brother a break drive the rig instead of playing with your phone.

**CCapaldi** · 04-29-2008, 01:50 PM

Tough crowd! I am driving, enjoy your flight!

**CCapaldi** · 06-02-2008, 07:15 PM

Finally have an update.

Car is almost done, just have to do the lexan rear windows and its ready for Grattan this weekend for a shake down run.

I present to you Capaldi Racings new #69

**SVTBuckeye** · 06-02-2008, 09:19 PM

Boy, you ain't got no name plates on the windows, flunk inspection.

Yet, that is one heck of a nice looking Spec Focus. Looks fast just setting there!
I smell a sleeper if I ever sniffed the air.

Four days but who's count'n

**Ted7rns** · 06-02-2008, 10:03 PM

Looks great Craig!!! Very Cool.

Now we get to see the Capaldi Brothers Race against one another. That would be fun to watch... better yet to listen to before and after the race.. LOL

**lapp4sm** · 06-02-2008, 10:18 PM

The car looks great. What tires are on the car?

Is that the Capaldi Racing support rig beside your car? It looks like it would do the job.

**CCapaldi** · 06-02-2008, 10:34 PM

Ted, Good thing we have some extra sheet metal, my little brother scares me a little, he's the fearless one....lol.

The car has RA1's in the pic that I plan to use up on the test day to shake the car down, then I'll put the R888's on for the weekend.

**Ted7rns** · 06-04-2008, 12:36 PM

Craig,

Did you ever sell the WC Cougar?
