How many for some ArseSweat at ButtonWillow? (Page 2 of 4)

Guest driving in a '69 VW Bug!

My first non-captain role!
Driver and team player only.

Looking forward to this very much.

Wahoo... we are too.   Look forward to seeing you there again.  This is going to be a blast.

What are the chances we can get Lost Hill added back to the map for this race? That strait away after riverside is BOOOORING and arguably more dangerous as it sets up some tremendous closing speed differentials in the braking zone at the end. We promise to behave ourselves over the hill! Promise!

I saw a lot more incidents at the hill than anywhere else. Got a lot of them on video, too.

Will be driving the Los Cerdos Voladores Neon. Never done an arrive & drive before.  Looking forward to meeting the left coast LeMons crew

Ah, nice to see that we're not the only team sweating (ha) getting the car done in time for the race.

We hope to be there. After Infineon (and the 2rd race where we just had no power), we took out the engine that we bought with the car and managed to put a new one we bought off craigslist. Considering this is the first time we have ever swapped engines in any car, we were pretty excited when it fired up right away.

Turns out we had no compression (could turn the engine over freely) and a broken head bolt on the old engine.

Of course now I am running into some issues with the alignment of all the pulley belts (I think we have W-series VG30 or an A/B with a W-Series crank pulley, any bay-area people that are familiar with Z31s, I could use some help figuring it out).....

But at least we will be cool looking at night!

Walk around and talk to the teams (when they have spare moments) and get all the different perspectives. Each will have a different insight, and most are happy to chew the fat with ya!

Make sure you visit with cars from different classes, especially teams that run something that you find interesting. TinyVette is a good one to talk to, as are Spank's British Brigade, Mikes VW madness, the Petty Cash Jeep, Bimmervitch, and of course us ZomBees.

Sooo many cool teams will be there it's hard to mention them all. Just look for anyone with a smile on their face. They are the ones obviously doing it right.

Fair warning to y'all:

Keep them lights aimed low enough not to dazzle.  I will be black flagging egregious offenders, and you will end up fixing lights and writing haiku about blinding the other drivers for Phil....     

  You have been warned.

     TEO

Not sure bout brights.... I think just brights would not be so bad.. I believe its more so teams who hook up lights like we did, make sure they point them level or down so they do not shine into peoples rear view mirrors.

Perhaps they'll have to change the name of the race to Arse-sore-a-palooza because we will be sitting on them for 24 hours?

What happened?
