Speed Ventures at Willow Springs January 26 & 27, 2008

[ViperX]

Hey Gang,

I thought it might be fun to get a little practice in before Viper days comes to Buttonwillow in February.

Speed Ventures is scheduled to be at Willow Springs the last weekend of January 2008.

I ran with this group at Ontario Motor Speedway a couple of weekends ago and found them to be a good group.

Passengers are allowed and prices were very reasonable.

Cathy and I plan to attend.  Anyone else interested?

For more info see their website at:  www.speedventures.com

Hope to some of you there.

OGO,

They just added the big track to their website at my request.

Woodhouse is having a sale on poly motor mounts - just $199 for the holidays - so I have a set coming for the GTS.

Don't care to drive "The Streets" in a Viper.

Hope to see you, Lance and some others there too.

Cool,

I just ordered some "speed bleeders" for the GTS.  These look like they could be extremely useful when bleeding the brakes, specially at the track.  They use an internal check valve and allow one person brake bleeding!!!

I may go to watch, can't bear the thought of ruining the new paint job

Let us know how it works, and where to get it.

I've got to find some time to do the prep work on mine...anti-toe brackets, PS pulley   >2

Hey Irfan, when will your baby be done ?

David Green recommended the speed bleeders to me last year and I'm just now getting around to doing them.

I'll let you know what I think of them.

I boiled my brake fluid at Buttonwillow a few weekends ago ( I should have changed it before I went but didnt').  The speed bleeders should make bleeding the brakes it easier and quicker - maybe I'll do it next time!

I'm also considering a front brake cooling duct kit from Parts Rack - which should help on hot days.
