Well that sucks. The reasons not to go are starting to out number the reasons to go by a substantial amount at this point. I might not make it either.

I had checked awhile back and they had an open track day the following Monday IIRC at Miller... would be rad to trailer the car out and run that track. If I didn't break mine again I was going to head out there and hit the track afterward before heading home.

Have you been to Miller? IIRC RMVR ran there before so maybe you have already been there. It should be a full outer loop day too which would've been a blast in my car.
brant
I haven't ever driven miller
its one of the events I keep skipping
its a "Nostalgia club" event and after last year when the miata got me
(Nostalgia has a class called "vintage miatas")

after that I skipped it
Nostalgia runs full outer loop for big cars, and inner loop for small cars
kinda a nice compromise and fairly progressive thinking to please both contingents with 2 options at the same event.

my next few weeks are crazy

- repair this weekend
- Utah the following weekend
- pueblo enduro the following weekend
- repair and service the weekend after that
- hallet oklahoma for 3 days the following weekend
- PPIR the weekend after that (if the car is still in one piece)

I'll have to skip something to maintain my sanity

Went to Miller last summer for the Shelby convention. Did not run myself but it is an awsome facility, but hotter than hell in July. Might not be so bad now.

Well, this seems to be my thread.

Well I just need to pack up some clothes, buy a quart of oil and head out. Sounds like the Start Relay is outta stock, so the 2.0 will have to take breaks. biggrin.gif

I also have to call and finalize Saturday mornings chowtime.gif Head count will be??????
brant
there are still some people on the fence.
so lets go with the paid head count
(and hope that one or two of the unpaid people still show)

#16

regarding the relay
go to any flaps in town there
ask for the "ford starter relay"

it doesn't look as nice as Eric's kit, and it won't come with all of the connections pre-wired like his. But it works fine. and you can sheet-metal screw it to the back of the engine tinwork, right above the starter

its fairly simple to wire and has about 4 poles on it
you transfer the yellow starter wire onto it, and then the starter power onto it. Then the output of each of those goes back to the starter

probably 18beans, and 30minutes work.

brant
majkos
Make sure the starter relay is well grounded,(Mounted to clean metal)

Off to get the fly wheel resurface,ugly oil burn marks.
Sleepin
The relay itself has to be grounded hmm? Will the other silver bullet be up and running by RRC?

There's undercoating or paint on the body that can keep you from having a good ground.BTDT

I've only one Silver 914.
The other is sold, should update my profile,ay? biggrin.gif
Sleepin
Oh I see....but the "other" was in reference to Val's '73. biggrin.gif Hopefully I will find the time to do it today. Put in a 22 hour day at work....time for a nap.
