AM, South Pits at PIR. First out 9:00/9:30
Low key, maybe 50 cars, so lotso runs......I'll be handing out free rides

Scotty?????

I gots mah injectors soaking as I write! gonna be thar. Missed the last 2...... gonna be hot but with the wind in our hair WTH!!!
Come on Scotty, get yer butt down thare

.........b

Allright Bruce.......bring your camera so's you don't have to work cones You'll have to show me how to use it so I can get some pics of you & Punkin.

Sounds like a deal to me Mr. Stein

....b

I'll be there. Got my back up tranny in (sorry Bruce, hope you don't need it).
JP, how come no opinion on the "leave the seal in the tranny" idea. Can't believe you passed on that one. Or are you still on the floor laughing?

Lookin forward to seen'n ya James. That's ok 'bout the tranny... guess you needed it more than I did I am going to take you up on helpin me with changing the bushings cuz I think you may just be right about those.

and what's this about the seal???

.....b

Bruce, check my thread, middle of page 2, "tranny input shaft seal".
You gotta read it all to get the laugh of a lifetime!

OK, so I had fast time in the first run group...36.5.....big deal.

The 2nd run group

Doug Barret , Boxster S 36.3
Doug Skinner, 9elebenhotrod 35.7
Chuck West, 914shitbox 35.3......TTOD

Fast course. 6k in 3rd

I got some pics of this affair. The Porsches out numbered the "other cars" but there were only 5 914's
4 of us ran in the 1st group & Bill Ran in the 2nd. There was a purty dark silvery grey V8 that ran nice. He had a '66 olds aluminum block (can't remember the size) & said it was only 60 lbs. heavier than the stock engine ran gud but I think I beat him anyways. here's some pics... mostly of the 9 lebens Got some gud movies too but need an FTP to post to.

.........b

Chuck West driv'n JP's thingy. His brakes work real GUD!

had a spin out too. that was fun!

the green Carrera was fassssst

then there were the rest including a NEON named Kermit

so..... that's it 'cept for these last few

another

Bruce, the olympic blue '73 2.0 wasn't Bill. It was a new 914 AX'r , Greg Chapman. If Bill had been there I would not have been 1st among the 914-4's (notice how I snuck that in there). I was right in the middle at #5 of 9 in the 2.0 class. It hurts to get beat by a Miata, 2 Neons and an Integra. But, after all, those cars were built in the 90's! Thanks for the great pics.
Great day for ULF. TTOD and 4th overall for the co-drivers Chuck and JP. That's against a bunch of 3.6 911's, a 996 Turbo, Boxter S or two, and a few Corvettes. Seems like JP has ULF on good feed! And he was built in the 70's (sorta). Now what will I use for an excuse? Old age I guess!

I wished I could have taken all our (914's) pictures but with most of us in the same run group it couldn't happen. Here's Greg Chapman doin' the corner.

I don't know what my best time was. I think it was 43 sumpin. Dam unsticky tiars (gotta blame it on sumpin, eh?) I could blame it on Jim cuz he wouldn't let me use his tiars!

........b

Nice pix, Bruce.....as usual. We gotta get in different run groups so's I can get some of you & Punkin'. Those files are huge. Nice that they can be posted here.

That is the first TTOD for the ulf & the first time either of us have beaten Skinner. Chuck's haid was all swolt up and I was happy for him. I'm right in the ballpark on tire pressures for the SO4s. I quit listening to what other folks were running and made some big changes.....even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while.

There was a very rough area at the East end. Hard on the gas in 2nd....the back end was bouncing off the ground......whaaa, umph,whaaa, umph. I thought for sure something in the drive line was gonna break

Aug 21 & 22 (2 days, whoopie), SCCA AX is next. We'll see iffn' we can run with the big dogs there.

I shoulda taken Mr. Chapman for a ride, but I think the hook is set anyhow

(edit) I'm surprised none of you eagle eyed sunzabitches
didn't comment on my miswired brake lights. Where's Brad when ya need him

Hey JP. I just took a look at the pic of ULF's ass. Did you know that your brake lights are screwed up?

Thanks for the compliment... that big one of ULF & Chuck I wanted to be big so I just croped it to keep the definition.

I noticed yer tail lights when I was still sit'n in Punkin waitin to run. Figured ya just was missin a bulb.

Next time we'll make sure we're in different run groups & you can do movies of me too.

I had fun..... Kermit looked like he did too

..........b

So Bruce comes up and says...something like "this camera only takes video for 36 sec, but I got all of Chuck's
run" Says I ....."well yeah, Chuck did a 35 sec run"

I don't recall if he used any words for his reply, but his eyes got big
That'll be a good vid to see.

Hay, results. Ole Dave is gettin' pretty good bout this.

Top 25.....to get Jim in there
