So I'm out cruisin' the back road with a buddy of mine and SNAP! Right out of one of my favorite turns, too.

So I call McMark and ask if he can bring me a cable. He was busy, but said " Remember how Brad used the throttle cable routed through the passenger window when Demick broke his cable?"

I remembered, and laughed. Now could my friend step up?
He's an ex-racer with over 20 races at Laguna and 20 at Sears, so he knows throttle.

Only 1 mile from home when this happened. We made back at a reduced clip. Good stuff.

Tomorrow I'll have a used one in my hand and should have a new one on Saturday afternoon..

If it didn't happen tonight, I'm sure it would have happened at Marina on the a/x course, leading to another spectacular spin-out.

Don't worry, I'll be putting on a show.

If Terry Zaconne is announcing, he'll say: " There's a little something for the folks!"


I told Brad about the broken cable. I said I was glad it didn't happen at the a/x because I'd have to have him work the throttle for me to keep running.
He said: "I could of done it".
Could he?

I told Trekkor that this would be a great WCC event. Teams of two in a timed parking lot race. One for steering and brakes, one for throttle. We could make up a specialized car with a passenger side throttle control just for the event. Sounds like a lot of fun to me.

I live about 2 miles from Paramount Ranch, volunteered to go home and get a spare, but nooooooo

You guys had to prove you could do it

Went down to HPH today and picked up a new Terrycable.

The reason my first one broke was beacause I didn't set the under throttle pedal limit stop.

All these full throttle stints have really be cable stretching sessions until it finally snapped.

It's set perfectly now. Look out.

KT

look out- here comes a spin


JK Mr T

Hey.... does yer head spin around????

Joking aside, I'm celebrating smooth throttle response and a 45 minute R&R.

Joke away...
