Engine Install - Sunday Nov 11

And there is a chance I may be available. It's been too long since I hung out getting dirt under my nails in your garage.

Yes! I can almost taste that cool, beautiful, dense, oxygen-rich air.

Until PAX is a little more friendly to my blue bomber, I'll just play where I am. (Drew, is that your glove on the floor? I don't want you to trip.)

Spring Hill Garage Time

Ken, PM me your address and details on time and what not. I just looked at the calendar, and there's nothing on it that day. (OMG) No guarantees, as I am sure all the 'honey-dos' I have been deferring may raise an ugly head or two, but there is a slim chance I may be able to get by and lend a hand.

FALL came two days late for some Sept 23 racers

I went right every time. After my second run, it was a no-lift, no-brake entry. It was tight for sure and I had to mentally block the self-preservation side of the brain a bit to keep my foot in it that hard, but the reward on the exit seemed well worth it to me. Who knows, maybe if I had tried left ...

FALL came two days late for some Sept 23 racers

For some reason that video looks speed up. Or maybe you're just that fast!


It may be sped up somehow. The time in the upper left counts the time of the run okay, but it does look weird. I just took it out of the camera and posted it. :dunno:

I need to get one of the tech-savvy younger folks to ...

FALL came two days late for some Sept 23 racers

Almost felt bad that I’d possibly get an easy 1st in MO this season, thanks Ron and Dan for setting the new bar.

I'll do what I can to keep pushing the bar a bit higher.

The course was a blast and as always, it was a great day spent with some awesome people. See you all in a couple weeks.

2019 Rule Change Ideas

I was never a fan of the engine swap rule. That is a fairly massive loophole in my opinion. And M4 seems to be doing pretty well this season with the turnout.

Proposal: Allowing Addition of Forced Induction in Modified

I am not a fan of the idea. I was thinking about how to state my opinion as I read thru the thread and by the time I got to Ben's list, I realized my thoughts/concerns paralleled his. Aside from the immediate reaction of fear that Ben and I were thinking alike (I kid, I kid...), I don't see a point ...

Fastest driver on the planet competition, April 22 edition

What a fun event!

Every time I wake up for a Dunnellon event and face an hour and a half to a two-hour drive north, my mind always drifts to the "... is this site really worth it ..." place. Doubly so when your first choice of rides didn't get its brake pad shipment in time. Triply so when you ...

Something smells good...

I guess the tire fairy stopped by the house today. The kids were kind enough to bring the delivery inside and place it in the family room. Man the house smelled good when I walked in after a late meeting tonight. So since my lovely spouse is away for work over the next several days I am guessing ...

Nexen Tires ?

... I've netted just over 5k on the road and 9 classic events. From this, I can say I got at least 72 runs before the shoulder began to de-laminate mildly on just one tire (my bad yo). I'm not a good measure for neatness in runs and should never be used as a benchmark for a run potential counter. I ...

I wonder what the best tire is for wood? Maybe Tire Rack or GRM will do a comparative test?

I'll ask for some opinions from the guys in our street department at work. They may have some good input on what's currently out there.
