My 914 is hydrophobic, coaxing it from the garage in the rain is not an easy task.

I'll be there driving Lucille...unless it's raining...then I'll be eating something watching guys spin off the track....

Bill P.

Um.. you'll be driving!! no better time to learn than in the rain. They dont stop races because of rain. You need to learn to drive in it. I hope for rain at events! Mid engine cars do VERY well in the rain.

Looks to be dry clap56.gif

I'm gonna try to stop in and check it out. Maybe cut a few wires from Bills car.....



Relax, speaker wires and window motor wires. tongue.gif

I WILL be there if Brad is driving the truck so I can get his wheels out of my yard. poke.gif

Hi Mark,

Snip away!...

Dyno confirmed and alignment confirmed for Friday. I'm getting ready to make the 1.5 hour drive to Frankfurt. I'll be home in about 18 hours from now...man this trip has been a long one...

Is Randal coming up to support?

I hope so.

Also, arrive early. Limited space due to the a/x going on in the back paddock.

Want a passenger/support person to tag along?
Brad Roberts
I'm confirmed.

Please let me know if you need help with anything Saturday after 3pm or so (Bill)

Mark,

can you get the tires off the rims? I can take them in the Civic that way. I'll pay for the removal.

Hi Randal,

It would be great if you could come along. We can ride together all day if you like and you can help me with setups.

Welcome home, or maybe you're sending this from the plane, in which case I trust you'll be home soon.

What time do you want to leave Sunday AM Bill?
Trekkor
It's going to be a great day.

...and I finally got a lap timer.


KT
grantsfo
I have to be there by 6:30 AM . icon8.gif I'm not a morning person. But to get a chance to drive an unrestricted NASCAR I'll suck it up. See y'all out there. I tried getting registered last minute with the Mazdaspeed, but doesnt look like I'm going to have a chance.

Then I'll be discussing details of my off season 914 refresh with Gary D.

Looks like we dodged the bullet with the weather, huh?

What time are you getting there tomorrow morning? I'm leaving my house at 4:45am and picking up Randal on the way.

Bill P.

Road Trip! bye1.gif
nebreitling
so i'll probably be running at the kart track tomorrow -- i'll be sure to come down and say hi.

Trekkor
I'll be at the gate at 6:00 yawn.gif

At least I can can leave home at 5:45 to make that happen.


KT
nine14cats
All loaded and ready to go...kinda.... laugh.gif

I had to inventory my 914 parts as I'm getting ready to sell a bunch of stuff. Then I worked on Lucille.

1. Bled brakes
2. Mounted fire extinguisher
3. Routed GPS antennae and Traqmate wiring
4. Adjusted swaybars for the track.

I didn't get a chance to try out the Traqmate software and controller on the car before it got dark, so I'll bring my Hot Lap timer and set it up tomorrow in the paddock for backup.

Bill P.
Trekkor
I'm also ready.

Hot Lap timer installed and tested ( my TV remote triggers it ) biggrin.gif

Trailered up, gassed, torqued, Hoosiers on and all the goodies packed.

The sky was absolutley cloud free tonight.

I am sending Martin Baker in my place with his adriatic blue trackmobile 914-6. I have too much pain in my arm to do 20 minute sessions right now.
Trekkor
Cool!!

This is BIG for him. Living a dream. Great. mueba.gif

One too many margaritas with freinds last night and didnt get home until 12:30am. drunk.gif I woke up to my alarm at 4:15 and decided track driving with a hangover wasnt in my plans. Have fun!
nebreitling
jesus, grant -- this isn't something like work that you can just wiggle out of -- MAN UP!
Trekkor
Great day. No rain.

Our group held it together.

1 NASCAR racer put his car into the wall in the PIT LANE before getting onto the track. Body damage only- day over.

Another driver in a EVO, who went in way over his head, 1st time on this track, overdrove and came with a reputation put his car into the tire wall between 8 and 8a to the left- totaled! He took his car home on a flat trailer ohmy.gif

My clutch cable clevis broke, I had it "fixed". it lasted a whole session and then broke again. headbang.gif

I'll get a new one and carry another as a spare, along with a spare retaining pin.
You can't really inspect this part. they just break. confused24.gif

I decided against "fixing" it again and shot some video of Bill driving through turn ten instead.

I ran 2:02's which was ok, considering how cold the track was.

I look foward to returning here in the spring.

KT
nebreitling
everyone at the kart track was about 1" off pace -- the track was slicker than snot and colder than a witch's tit. awesome time, every turn was a drift.

Your car looked and sounded fantastic, too.

The best news, however, was that Alison is healing from the operation nicely clap56.gif

Glad you made out with us, Martin.


KT
nebreitling
i'm sorry i missed you, martin! (i was up top at the kart track all day).
Randal
Long day, but about as much fun as you can have. biggrin.gif

Bill did a great job reeling in Lucille from the 2:30 mark to ( ), well I'll let him tell you.

But in any event this was a great change this -change that day until the car worked, or should I say worked better.

And we were never even close to what it can really do. But at Sears you had better reel it in slowly or:

Wild day at the track, as Trekkor pointed out, except he forgot to mention that the guy that wrote off the Rally clone had $50,000 in it.

He was wearing a Hans device and if you ever needed it - this was the time. I mean he just tore the front end off this 4 wheel drive turbo car. Both sides were also damaged. I would have taken pictures, but I felt so bad for him I couldn't do it/

Hard to believe how quickly people are ready to pick up a gun and play Russian Roulette at Sears.

Oh and Brad showed up for a bit - Always great to see our SOCAL Man.

Rob, Thanks much for the Hook Up on the Track Masters Event!


No problem... You do a lot for me too so it isn't like we aren't even. Mike said you were having a blast and laughing your head off. You could use a bit of that. Glad you were there to step in. It was too late to cancel and my arm is toast for now.

Nathan, I was back and forth between the track event and the autocross. Sorry I missed you too. You should have seen the karts swarm the chalk lined autocross course after we broke down the cones.
