Topic: Thanks also from another failure-Little Red Poorvette
Just wanted to throw out another thank you for a fun time at Thunderhill despite our early failure- though we did still crack the top 100 (99 to be exact).
Our Poorvette themed 240sx showed it's true drifter abused colors with lots of smoke on downshifts and in the cockpit by 1pm or so Saturday. Combined with the tranny leak we'd been chasing and sheer mental exhaustion from race prep it was decided to declare it dead for this race. I think pretty much the entire team still had a great time and are completely hooked (including myself-the wife/pit crew).
Thanks to all who stopped by our pit to check out the car and for offers of help etc.
We did get a good laugh out of all the looks and attention we attracted driving back- including at least one person taking photos of the car on the trailer heading down the 101.
We'll definitely be back... The question is will it be with a repaired KA24, a VQ from, say, a Maxima or perhaps a V8 from the Q45...
