Sounds like it needs to become a 7-bolt 4g63 turbo car. Then you can turn fast, inconsistent, blow-uppity laps and crank walk through turns 3 and 4.

Re: Barber:, who's in, whatcha bringing?

I was gonna save this case that I picked up today for the Gingerman race, but I may have to bring it to Barber and drink it out of plastic cups!

I'm racing with the Apocalyptic Racing boys and their 78 Celica at this event.  I'll bring this and some craft cans too -- stop by!

Lemons 928 engine #5 (yes, five) has been installed and passed initial QC at come monday HQ so it looks like we will be joining the fracas.

For a lap, at least...

Looks like you are getting up there with about the same amount of engine as me.  My Kia has had 8 engines in it  through all the 13 races that its been in.

Re: Barber:, who's in, whatcha bringing?

I am not jinxing it because when I predict foul weather, it never happens.  My departure temp Thursday will be so cold beer has to ride in the truck cab.  Even the mid-point in Evansville, IN looks marginal so probably can't even move it to the trailer until then for fear of freezing.

So for you Deep South natives, the temps at track are predicted high 20's at night.  Plan on a trouble light to keep the engine warm or at least get it up to operating temp before going to bed and throw a blanket over the hood.  27 f is cold but with 1.5-2 gallons of water plus 1-300#'s (more for Idle Clatter) of engine at 180F, it takes many, many hours to get below freezing in that engine bay.

Those running British cars with a carb, I will have starting fluid available.

Those running Italian cars...I own a lighter and jugs of fuel are everywhere.

Those with French cars...you won't last to the second day anyway (tSoG).

It is all in good fun. 

As a side note, you still can't sign the second page without printing unless they accept e-signatures.  Complete the form, send it in and follow up with a call.  Alternatively, print it, sign it and scan it to thumb drive/SD card/whatever at a Kinko's/Staples/whatever.  The Zoom guy did ask me to send the signed second page when I forgot it.

They accepted a digital signature on mine. The one that I converted to an online form has digital signature blocks, so it should be good.

Amateurs, we used to blow up two engines/race in the Duff car back in '09-'10 when we started racing it. And then we'd take it to HPDE's and blow up more engines. We'd bring three engines to a race, two to blow up and one to drive home on. Thankfully we stopped doing that after a few years; otherwise I probably wouldn't be doing this any more.

You're a brewmaster as well, Rog, so it's clear you have the patience of Job. We race only once or twice a year so by the time the next event is on the radar the debilitating anguish of the prior disappointment has been (nearly) forgotten and hope springs anew.

Best guess is between 70-80.

We put a small halogen work light under the hood at night to keep things from freezing.

Re: Barber:, who's in, whatcha bringing?

I wish I could; the latest motor in the Duff car has a "Y"-series block, and the block drain plug is on the back of the block in a completely PITA location. Our old "Z"-series block was much easier to drain with the plug in front of the block.

it wont be cold enough or be cold long enough to freeze. Just let it warm up real good before you tuck it in for the night.

Yeah, weather report changed drastically from when I originally made the comment.  Heck it even looks like departure temps will be warm enough up here that beer can ride in the trailer!

86 registered and paid, including 19 first-timers by my count. Someone's bringing a much-awaited vehicle and there's also a CRF HF registered that damn well better have the 60-horsepower D15B6 and the stupid-tall gearing or there will be hell to pay.
