You need more than 3 hours to replace an engine?...

Yes, Alex, I do. Especailly when it's not the same type of motor that was originally there. Not even the same brand. Nor from the same continent. And the donor motor is in a different state right now. Anyway, I'm getting older and need naps.

Re: Let the games begin - Who wants the NSF K Car?

So CP should I put down for ECR in May?  Katie's in for driving.  I'm going to give her a hat to race in so we're all good.

We may show up in the Barracuda anyhow. ( If they don't kill it in Mexico in April.)

Re: Let the games begin - Who wants the NSF K Car?

Yeah, put us down for it. Will work out the details with Justin. Troy might have a lead on newbies to run it at High Plains too.

Actually...

If the car is still operational after Houston and has all its glass, I'd volunteer to run it at NHMP and then blitz-drive it across the snowy Northeast to get it to Road America.

Can you tell I'm in love?


I am a very simple person.  Figure out what you want to do - figure out the logistics with the associated teams - tell me what team name goes in what box.

The K it forward idea is for the car to be passed from one team to another.  You're like a K Car stalker.  I see nothing wrong with you guys picking up an empty slot if there are no takers.

I keep losing the key to the damn thing. I've spent more time looking for it than fixing the car.

Re: Let the games begin - Who wants the NSF K Car?

Hi all!

The car is probably at MMC already, or very close to being there. Our second car, the Sentra, will be coming in around 3pm, under its own power.

If anyone is at the track, please help my guys with everything they need in order to pass tech and not blow up the car. I have full confidence in their abilities but I feel like I left them short of tools and materials this time, not to mention the fact that this is the first time I'm not physically there to go through tech. I'm nervous o_O.

I'll get to Liberty around 4am on Saturday, so I should be at the track around 8am.

Well since the Passat wiring freaked out in December I've been in the same situation once myself.
Anyway, feel like coming over to ECR, Doug?
