Puting the SHO away. Got a few Questions

[Ian Macoomb]

Bah, you don't need no stinking gas preservative.

I put my car away last November and took it to the drag strip in May and ran a couple of 15.0s with 6 month old gas. I also ran it at an auto-x in June with the seven month old gas. I had a '98 Suzuki Swift for a winter race car and I had two year old gas in it and it started every time I needed to move it.

I have one of the Harbor Freight portable garages. The cover will last about three years then you need a replacement cover. New cover was under $60 this spring. They work great but if you live in a windy area you need to use some foam pipe insulation over the top metal rib to keep abrasion down. This is where the tarp covering will fail.

snow??? any opinions, i dont want this thing caving in on my car!

Snow just slides off. I did get some 2' pieces of rebar, bend them into hooks and used these to hold down the frame. The hold downs included are pretty lame and meant for asphalt I think.

Also use some good black zip ties to hold the cover to the frame. The included bungie cord things will fail in a couple of years.
