That's a nice photo, I'm'a gonna have to snag it. There's a nice long story behind all this, including breaking the crankshaft on the 2L the prior Saturday, getting a generous offer from @ChrisFoley to borrow his FProd 1.8L, and many nights in between thrashing and re-engineering to arrive on-track Thursday, then carb issues and then vent hose issues Friday...but runs from the back on Saturday and a 2nd place in the monsoon on Sunday with tires that,w hile very good, were not my preferred Purple Crack H2Os (I was questioning my life's choices a few times in the Downhill in the rain...) But those are a series of fun stories over beer. Thanks for the tip! |

You might need to change the last line in your sig after this past week. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yeah, you and Pat are to be known heretofore as "The Enablers"*...as I recall, that's the second time you've done this...
*Someone who says, "hell yeah, let's do this!" instead of just handing me a beer and letting me plan a nice, calm, quiet poolside holiday weekend... |

Hey, except for picking up the engine once I didn't have to get my hands dirty. It was nearly a no-brainer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) Besides, I really wanted you to test my experimental gearbox modifications. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Apart from the dirty carbs (who would have thought) and the oil hose coming off things went well at the track. I imagined it could have been much worse since I've btdt - spend all week just to get the car in the trailer knowing it still isn't race ready. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Was the end result worth the extra effort? |
