Continuous improvements and maintenance. Just poor timing with Lime Rock. Prep for Okteenerfest which I don’t see you signed up for!

Okteenerfest, maybe next year. This Okteenerfest is going to be huge. 149 people registered already. That's got to be around 75 cars. |

You’ll enjoy it Len. It’s very cool. Great cars show up. Glad Mother Nature is cooperating. Have to give it a miss this year.
Post pics! Especially of the teeners! |

Will do.
Injun Mort is going, even though his car is up on the lift last night. He said and I quote, "If it starts, I'm going". Now THAT'S a 914 owner. |

I actually have a dog in the hunt at Lime Rock this weekend.
Greg Amy suffered a terminal engine failure a week ago while tuning so I loaned him the backup engine from my race car. There were some compatibility issues with the "experimental" dry sump plumbing I employ and his more conventional setup, but he has the car running and is at the track. This morning he had to pull in after only a couple laps in the first session though. The engine sat untouched in my garage for 7+ years and there was quite a bit of residue in the carb float bowls which didn't get cleaned out ahead of time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) It looks like he'll have the car ready for this afternoon's race. |
