First Gen3 built privately ran this weekend at TWS

Well, we got chassis #868 paired with the first Gen3 motor G30006 sold to a private individual (me) installed and on track this weekend at Texas World Speedway. It was the first time in the car and we didn't have time to check the car setup (e.g. camber, toe, suspension, sway bars). To make things worse, having never driven the car or even sat in it, we missed qualify and so the first time I get to drive the car was the Saturday race. I started in the back. Brand new car to me, brand new Gen3 motor, and the first test was an SCCA race. Fun stuff.
I have video of Saturday's race which I can post later. Sunday's race is much better because we were able to do setup on the car and I came from P29 to P3 and a couple of more laps? Well, we'll never know. Unfortunately, we forgot to turn on the GoPro camera. I'm going to install a RaceKeeper system with 3 cameras for next time...
Thanks to Brandon Piper for doing all the work to get the car ready. Thanks to Erik Skirmantz, Mike Davies, and Nikki LaRue for all their help, phone calls, getting us parts, etc.
Now that I have a Gen3 and a Gen2, it's really hard to decide which car to race.
