Looks like Joe B may have M1 locked up...Joe-you might just take this Saturday off-celebrate your 1st place Championship...no, seriously have a cold one on me...



or maybe not...

Oh, OK. I have a bunch of Ellen shows on my DVR. I will stay home and watch those.

Looks like Joe and Tim are trying to get us to let our guards down? Nice try guys. We will still have fun driving fast no matter what. You know there will be probably 5 runs on this course right?

According to UPS, my new radiator is out for delivery this afternoon. You should get Grey8 ready.

Yeah. I should buy some gas

How long did you work on that car?

Mines up and running! Although I see a lot of cone mark buffing in my future next week. Oh wait, I don't even wash my car now.

Excellent, I'm tired of whale meat. I read Grey's may taste like chicken

[BigBlue]

"It's Delicious!"

Now I know why Joe never hangs around for lunch. He knows who's bringing it.

That's really funny Ron.

3 years so far but I never missed an event just because it was slow or drippy bladder and it only broke at one event from a newer frayed fan belt cutting thru two coil wires and telling the ECU the car was stolen - tow to dealer mandatory. That cost me $450 mostly of computer rehab time and flashes at the dealer. My permanent fix is on RX8 website cost $1.95 piece of angle iron to protect those two coils. There is only one tech at the Mazda dealer who works on RX8's. His name is Sean.

Now I learn there is only One Tech at the big local Chevy dealer who is allowed work on Corvettes. Shit. Here I go again. His name is Larry.

When you get old you don't ask for "last" names. Too final. "F" words are better. Like FAST, Fun, Furry, Fart....you get it.

LMAO

Well, I know a couple of guys that know corvettes real well if you don't want to pay dealer rates. Let me know if you need some contact info.

ANY info would be appreciated at this point.
First on my list is a full set of repair manuals or CD/DVD with it? Prices are all over the map to get a set of 3 paper ones.

You can pm me or twistedwankel@hotmail.com is my email.

Thanks,

Doug

Bring your pink slips if you are running the afternoon and your car is "actually" listed in Kelly's Blue Book.

Otherwise you suck.

So long Black M2/ESP Mustang. Hello Short Bus Yellow S3/? Mustang. This car will be making it's AutoCross Debut on Saturday .

[Inspecta]

Very nice!

[Loren]

Trailer is on-site thanks to Paul. Site appears to have no surprises (no new fences, holes, or other anomalies). Weather looks about as good as we can expect for this time of year. All of the other ducks are lined up.

Let's do this!

[Jamie]

All of the other ducks are lined up.

No! Ducks like standing water! No ducks! No!

[warneej]

Hey its been so darn long I'm not even sure what time we're supposed to be there in the morning...any help?

[snookwheel]

Looking forward to getting the Solo Vee out again!

Matt, thanks for bringing your leaf blower out!!!! Anyone else that has one, please bring it out, it will only take a few minutes to blow all that fine gravel off the course if a couple more folks jump in and help!

See ya'll tomorrow!

[Tim_M]

Matt S.: Appreciate the gracious offer...I'd be afraid a car that requires skill to hustle, would show I have little!

I think my bucket of bolts will get me thru the day...we will see with its soft coolant system, leaking axle boot, untested suspension, worn BFG's, ABS light, ticking time-bomb motor...

I can only hope for Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain and Rain!

So you want to have your shakey car towed home in a torential downpour in the morning after you blow it up or spin out on the way home with no abs in the " Tampa downpour" on bald tires? Okay.

Memo to morning course work crew: "Make him push it off the course all by hisself in the rain."

Thanks in advance to the morning run group for cleaning off the track for us sleep ins.

I bet Tony lowered his insurance deductible too with those crazy big rear balloon tires. With a 40% chance of meatballs.
