If they will allow 2 drivers to run out of heat, in game. If Ben offered his car, I figure he could drive mine for the final event. That would be a fun comparison.

no i did not. After a talk with a guy at work, which included a short story about Edison ... I'm going to try to complete the job myself.

I will call rt today, it looks like rain for the rest of the week.

I'm doing a ish ton of tree work this weekend. I only have the chipper for so long, and I have a lot to get done. So time isn't on my side with racing on sunday. Depending on how much we get done on saturday and how bad my yard looks (down trees all over the place), I may have to leave to get it cleaned up.

yup and I didn't have time last night, so no. Considering that i don't have a garage its going to wait a few days.

I will try the heat. A ball joint separator has also been recommended.

anyone interested in a co-driver? Don't think my car will be done by sunday. I'm pretty gentle on my car (according to someone here).
Ken, just come get the bar and then goto JSC for the mounts. You could run the bar and change the bushings later, one change at a time is best anyways when tweaking a car for autox. That should be easy to accomplish before the event.

Yes. You're #10 in post counts, right underneath...gasp...Sri!


On another note, Dan informed me of rain on Sunday. Looks like weather.com is reporting occasional showers, with highs in the 60s on Sunday.

you should have marked your essentric bolts. Next time you get an alignment have the tech (or Pat if its RT) mark the bolts so 'in-case' you have to take something apart you can get it back together w/o needing an alignment.

you go from a pretty bone stock car on crappy tires in the beginning of the season to getting Pete's used tires to now all of a sudden taking your car apart trying to install suspension parts/bushings. Next thing you know you'll be swapping tires at events.

I have a camber gauge, so you could just match whats on the other side and your toe should not change that much, in theory. Granted it will be not perfect but it should allow you to run. While your checking your camber, just add as much negative as you can. Then you can get the toe corrected in the near future. That with the bar should make a noticeable change in handling on course.

Marc will do it for you just ask him.... or I can bring the gauge with me or you could come get it and do it yourself.

Since when do nurses know about the weather? Just sayin'

I don't trust the forecast until its 3 days out anyway. Let them call for rain all they want.

I am not sure with the additional events that were added. The DOY and Class Point totals are listed with drops calculated, meaning they have the totals listed based on dropping the lowest points from either 2-3 events. Why not post it on the forum, you will get the correct answer there. I do not care this year because I missed the Holbert while I was in Disney with the family. That was 2 events and then I missed another event for some reason or another. So I screwed myself with points..
