The bulkhead is going in now, need that separation between me and all the stuff that burns in the rear hatch area.

Today I put on all my gear and harness to make sure I could reach all the controls. We will probably move the seat back further and down if we are able to. It's snug where it's at but workable if we can't move the seat.

We had a bad day on the dyno doing a hit to 7000 RPM, we have an issue with oil pressure. We don't think it's related to any bearing failure and maybe has something to do with the dry sump system. At this point that's just a guess and we are working to diagnose the problem. Unfortunately, we are going to miss our opportunity to make some runs in Arkansas as this has put us behind schedule on other work that needed to be done before we run. I'm still heading out to Arkansas but with my 98% stock Gen 4. That will give me the chance to check out the runway and meet the guy running that event. Big disappointment for the whole crew but it's part of the process. We will get back to work and fix any issues and at some point in 2025 I hope to break 275+. Thanks, David
