Those metal signs look awesome, I'm a little embarrassed by the trophy I made

Participation Trophy

Home all safe and sound. Larry (the drone pilot) has a TON of video and lots of pics. We'll be spending some time editing and sorting through it all and getting things posted ASAP. Lots of great stuff to come!

But most importantly:
Our first WCR and wow, what a great group of folks! We had a blast and can't hardly wait 'til next year.

Andrew - Great job!

To all of you - You made us feel like old friends. We're so looking forward to seeing you again (and meeting new attendees!)

Thanks for a wonderful memory.

I won the best running project!
Thank you Mueller for building and donating the trophy.

Thanks to Andyrew, Rob and everyone else who hosted the 2017 WCR.

Awesome trophy Mueller !

What a great time. My thx to Andrew and the other helpers for all of it took to pull this off. I was fortunate enough to spend a few hours "chewing the fat" w/ Jack, aka Super in Law. Great guy. Met Mike D's wife. Forgot her name but she's a hoot. It was a great time when Sir Andy received his award/acknowledgement, too. Anyway a few pics;

Anyone have pictures of my car from that corral during the drive?

Good-bye Mammoth Lakes and ski resort (skiing in June!)

Looks like fun times. Do the lifts run or is it walk up?

Lifts ran every day to 2pm

Super In Law and I made it home safe and sound by 9pm. I want to thank everyone for making Jack feel so welcome. I've been telling him that he's an internet celebrity. LOL. We won't make it next year. Middle son is getting married in Pismo Beach the weekend before .........

Leaving Mammoth at 7am.

I should planning my next trip to the US in the timeframe for the WCR

Nice pix and sorry I missed this gathering this year.

Family prevailed however, yet I am looking forward to next year's run. The six is up and running (including a fuel gauge!! ) and will be in fine shape for next year's event.

Well worth the time and effort

I snuck up on Darryl and Anne on I680. They must have stayed an extra day in Mammoth and I was on my way to Santa Clara to do my week at work!

Hi guys!

Fixed ... :)

Steve ? Where are you ?
Please continue to post updates / photos of your adventure until you get back home to St. Louis.

Dang, Rob.... That is one beautiful car. Fabulous pic!

Back among the living -

As some of you at the WCR know, my car would not start Saturday morning before the poker run. At that time it seemed like a timing issue which with a Megasquirt ECU usually means the crankshaft position sensor (CPS) is not doing its job. Since I had flat towed up to Mammoth I elected not to try to troubleshoot the problem until I got home.

My wife and I stayed in Mammoth through the weekend to do some hiking and drove home yesterday. This morning I hooked my notebook PC up to the Megasquirt and it was easy to see that the ECU would sync with the CPS for a few rpms, then lose sync, over and over. From under the car I can barely get to the CPS but I was able to adjust it to spec. and all was better.

I can only speculate that the heat of the drive on Friday was enough throw the sensor position to the edge of the spec. Fortunately it continued to run on Friday and through numerous stops but after it cooled overnight the problem appeared.

On a separate note I want to thank Andrew and all of the others involved with the WCR for making it a fabulous event! Click to view attachment
