At least it's a nice easy crawl and big door 
It drove onto the trailer, so it's fine.
It's fine.
As a lover of vans this really speaks to me.
Can't wait to see this thing in action. 
Only 3 more wake-ups till Challenge day!
I love this van so much, I peed a little. That is all.
Definitely need plenty of pictures and maybe some video of this thing in motion.
Also, this went from "still need to finish the cargo area" to "drove it on to the trailer, headed to Florida" real quick. I still have some questions! Like,
—Will it still be usable as a van? Like, what sort of cargo capacity does it have now? Looks pretty awkward with the half of a spare tire well there.
—How do you change the front struts? (inb4 "very carefully")
—Does it now have the chassis rigidity of a Cavalier convertible?
—How is the driving position? Is it any different than the stock van seat/wheel? I recall it being somewhat elevated on my old Trans Sport.
I suppose these are all things that will be answered after the races.
Made it to the hotel in Gainesville. Time for a last minute parking lot paint job.
Results to be seen in the morning.

Just when I thought this build couldn't get any AWESOMER, you go and post this..... Anxiously awaiting the results ! ! ! !
Please tell me that your radio still works and you'll be racing to a soundtrack with external speakers. At least use the Stormtrooper March for your YouTube background music
Results!
Now let's see how it runs...
Racking up victories against the rebels...

Like a top heavy G6. With spongy brakes and body panels that scrape when you turn, ...and accelerate, ...and brake.
How'd it so I'm autox?
44.888 (31st)
Second in the Soccer Mom class (behind the turbo Caravan, ahead of the Quest)
Just saw a part of your run on Facebook live. Guess it's not live now tho. I was excited that I caught it.
Impressed at the relative dominance of Soccer Mom class.
Turbo Caravans were always the ruiners at the local drags back in high school when Turbo Dodges were popular.
