Every Farm Truck needs a spiritual guide.

Who let all the heat out of FL? Damn. It was warmer in MA this afternoon with 6" of snow from the prior day.

So I guess I should really raise mine then. :headscratch:

If she beats me she will need a ride, I would be done with autocross after that.

Just so ya know (if ya care), this event is sold out! It's so sold out that there are only two guests slots left in the Early Session, and that's all.

That means good competition, plenty of workers to cover all positions, lots of novices to teach... and perfect December weather. Gonna be a good time! :thumbwink:

Y'all don't care about M4, but I'm gonna tell ya, anyway.

I've got some competition in my new class!

Soraya is going to be there, and she's always trouble. Mike "No Lift" Redmond is back with his electrified Honda, he'll catch you when you're not paying attention. Sara's got a new clutch, so she'll surely be faster. And I bet Bill & Steve have a new set of tires on the VW... which makes it a wildcard, as well.

I'm ready. Bring it. 8-)

Morale just reached an all time high in the S1 camp. Let's see if it continues until Sunday.

Most of you don't care about M3 either, except Tyler Williams. I've got new tires mounted and migraine medication is at a two year low. I'll be ready too. :)

Now let's see if I can get this on the car before this weekend.

Now that I finally bought new eccentric bolts I need to get the car to Joe for a proper alignment.Image

I'm reminded of an "open the catalog" statement that I made yesterday. :pointlaugh:

Mind you, I'm not complaining. I'm always learning something new in the process of designing and creating things.

You don't need all that Matt. That's more than enough to take out my old, completely stock fox body. I can barely get -1 degree camber. Have mercy...

I don't have a welder and/or the time to experiment. ;-)

Like everything that should be easy... Apparently the "clean" car I bought back in 2007 was not"clean"...

The passenger side had been repaired by my own stupidity in 2010, but someone did some funky stuff on that driver's side and that bolt is locked in. Hopefully I don't jack up the paint more.ImageImage
