I am planning to be there. I'll be towing from east of Sac... looking forward to the alarm going off at 4:30am... NOT :-)

See you there!

Reminder - SVR will be having an AutoX at Sears....er Infineon... on November 14. This will be a fun event.

Cheers!

My nephew from Reno will be co-driving my car. First time a/x for him. It'll be fun for me to watch my car in action for the first time.

I would expect to see Birgit in #71 and Darren as well.

That's no excuse! I've lived here for almost 20!
EdwardBlume
Anyone interested in my set of 4 lug Fuchs with Kumhos on them for the event?
anthony
I was pissed last time I went when not enough people wanted to do fun runs at the end of the day. Something is wrong when people don't want more free track time.

Jenny
it's being in NoCal... I lived in Sacramento for a year, and I was like "hella this" and "hella that." Came back to San Jose, and started talking normal again. He's in Palo Alto, that's north enough, I think. biggrin.gif

Jen


Oh, and hecka
McMark
I realized I'm going to the classics races at Infinion. sad.gif Next time I'll be there, kickin' hella ass!
Britain Smith
I will most likely be there...it depends on how far I get on my 912, it has to be in Napa on Sunday so Brandon and McMark can paint it!

-Britain
SirAndy
i'll be there ...

and there's even a slight possibility that i'll be able to run.
all i need to do is to convince brad to work on my car all night thursday and friday.
should be easy.

Brad-

Since I haven't gotten around to seeing you yet...

Would you mind brining those gauge mounting parts for my car to secure my new guages before I race?

Purdy Pleeze smile.gif

Brad Roberts
I would rather you stop by so I can mount them here. I'll be here late each night for the rest of the week.


B
Trekkor
Brad, what car are you bringing to drive this time?

Is it a surprise? Or do you prefer the mob scene when you drive up? cool_shades.gif

KT
Brad Roberts
Crew cab truck... I have to leave for Thill directly after the last run. I shouldnt be attending the AutoX, but I need to dial in a new sway bar install for a customer.

ChrisReale
Brad, could ya remember to toss my wheels in the back of your truck. Ill call you to remind you beer.gif

Im considering disconnecting my sway bar. 22mm torsions and 200# springs seem to be a happy match, but adding a 22mm sway bar to tha creates understeer. Anybody wanna trade some 22mm bars for 20 or 21mm bars?
Meredith
Hey Brad, could you build me a 914 from the ground up? Maybe make it a /6? And then hand paint it? For free?

What do you mean you don't have time?! I'm sure you're not that busy...

Humm....ya think?

I have 21mm Tbars and am going to 275lb in the rear and get a set of 300s JIC. The 225 rears ain't cuttin' it (full soft on the Tarret AR bar). I'm also lifting the inside rear tire in the tights.....makes for some cool black lines on them corners laugh.gif
Trekkor
JP, I was lifting the wheels until I installed the inner stiff kit from Engman. Car is flat and rotates perfectly.

I use the SRP 31mm front anti roll bar at 2/3 soft BTW cool_shades.gif

KT
nebreitling
Alright! i've got Rob's old victoracers now,

Bill P,

What'd you do to your car? Sounds like you went off somewhere.

i bought a set of racing-slicks for my car (from Bill P.) ... pray.gif


and to make them fit i need:
=======================================
different spacers,
which means i need longer studs,
which means now is the time for real 911 hubs and my set of 914/6 stub-axles,
which means new bearings,
which means, now is the time for the new trailing arms (and junk the old bend ones),
which means i should really put muellers roller-bearings in there first,
which means, if i go through all that trouble, now's the time to get new half-shafts (because mine are worn out),
which means, now's also the time to get the heavier spings in the back so i can actually *use* the front bar,
which leads to the worn shocks in the front,
which may has something to do with the lose front bearings,
which of course means i also need longer studs in the front,
which means now would be the time to rebuild the carrera calipers (that have sticky pistons),
which means that i'll need a new alignment.

oh, and have i told you about the problems i have with the motor??? confused24.gif


*sigh*, i have no idea why he doesn't want to touch my car ...

Trekkor
Andy, do it yourself?

Hi Andrew! Nice to see you on the board.

I missed a shift at Buttonwillow July 4th weekend and blew my motor.

I bought a new tub, 915 WEVO, 993 3.6, and a whole host of goodies.
The new car should be ready by the start of next season.

Funny how a missed shift leads to a whole new car and being out of
competition for ~9 months.... laugh.gif

Hopefully we will get out there at the start of next year.

Bill P.
Trekkor
I'm loading the car up in a minute. Looking foward to a nice day in the 914.

Nathan... cool_shades.gif

Andy, will you photo document the occasion?
