Something to help with the heat. Never used one before. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)


WTF? I will never run again without one - I almost died of Dehydration at the Sebring Chump 2 Years ago because I didn't have one


I tested it the other day and couldn't believe it. My first thought was that it was too cold.

Mike does a lot of Pro Helmets. I have used other Painters in the past, but I won this Helmet in an Auction that came with a Certificate for Paint by Savage. My winning Bid was less than the Helmet price from Bell much less the Paint

My Helmet line-up - the only one I don't have is my first helmet from the mid '80s

Very cool TC - thanks! I too have a Bell open cockpit helmet - a must or the P1 car! I'll look savage up...have a great race.

PS: So the helmet "mounts" are your version of a hunters display? eh? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Hunter's Display! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I had never thought of that way till I posted that picture on Facebook and one of my old G/Fs made the same remark

Don't worry about the wheels for the weekend. My head is already spinning. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Were staring at the Residence Inn.

I can't believe there letting a LS1 powered car in Chump. I assume its an EC car?
I wish your teams car had a different paint scheme. I'll see that BMW in my mirror and think "that doesn't belong there"! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
See you Friday, can't wait.

No we blew the motor in the BMW, took it out, found a team that had a nasty Street pullout longblock, assembled it and took the Checkered Flag!

Sorry about your car Shane - I know it will be better than before soon. I don't have a front clip, but I have a Metal front bumper with a cut-out for a front cooler you can have

George, after you left, they Black Flagged the Race for 2 1/2 Hours due to Lightning (Corner Workers safety) We kept plugging on the Motor since it was in the Garage, so we actually didn't lose all of the 3 1/2 Hours it took to do the motor!

I was the guinea pig to take the re-built car ( we had pulled the blown motor, tranny, exhaust, cooling system, a lot of wiring) in the Rain and there was still some Lightning.

Plus for us, because of the Black Flag Delay, ChumpCar gave every team that re-started & finished a $100 Credit/Refund - we got 2 because the Benz finished too.

I drove both the BMW (in the Rain and at Night!) and the Benz. Daz Benz in a POS! The Owner has $35,000 into it (3 LS motors so far), but everybody that drove it was hoping it caught fire so we would never have to drive it again. The LS Motor & 6 Speed were nice ( I think I only reached 5th a couple of times), but that Fucher pushed and with the weight of the car, the Brakes were scary. Not it that they would go out - but if I braked 5 feet early, I felt like my Grandma , but if went 5 feet later, I thought I was going to DIE! Seriously! Also if the backend stepped out a bit, it snapped back violently, I couldn't drift the back at all! Every Driver (4 of us) thought the same thing. It also suffered from 1 Fuel Pump replacement and after that a Fuel Pickup problem in which it would only run for about 40 minute (about half tank)

We ended up having 5 Drivers (and 1 guy didn't drive much - he was the one that blew the BMW motor & he didn't want to drive at night and he didn't want to drive Daz Benz) for the 2 Cars, so even with the Down Time for both cars & the lightning delay, we ended up with good seat time

What did think of this ChumpCar? It won the Clean Car Award which goes to the Team that has the fewest incidents & finishs. They said that the Mustang didn't even have a spin all day!

Great photos as usual from Eric, TC. I'm glad you got some running in - I had a feeling that Mercedes was going to be a total bear. LS motors are great, but better in 914s (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I wish we could have stuck around a little longer to watch you out on track, but the boys were pretty dejected. I had even offered to go get my car, tech it, and get back out on track, but we decided we had enough for one day. With the rain/lightning, it was probably better that we got on the road.

On site repairs being made.
In the background I'm working a come-along, pulling hard.
That's Thorshammer on the ATV just pulling lightly on the inner fender which was bent outward.
It was hard to keep the car stationary.

48 hours after the incident the car was ready for a photo lineup.
