heads up!
I buddy that races stop by tonight while I was prepping the car.  Says Willow has been repaved now HOWEVER, his group, the porsche club ran a couple of weeks ago. They had more offs that weekend than ever before and the track was slower than it was before.  Let's all be safe.  If you have an off, both feet in.  Clutch and brake....get the car stopped. 

Sweet...I have a ton of work to do this weekend, hopefully I can get it all done.  The new springs arrived last night along with a set of tires.  Prep  time!

What various groups is everying running?

I'm signing up for Red since I have a red Viper

I just signed up.   See you all there.  Where is everyone staying.  I'm looking into the Oxford Suites as Saxton suggested.  Don't know anything about it but it can't be any worse that other places I've stayed up there.

Sorry...I miss spoke...Locked them middle of 8, passed him in 9...accelerating   <2

I had hoped to go faster but only saw 32s onthe timer as best.  Most laps were 33/34 later in the day.

The timer wasn't saving the times the first two sessions.  I suspect the wire wasn't all the way in as it fell out just before the 3rd session and saved times from then oh.

In the first session I was able to keep Ben in my sights.  traffic would cause me to loose a little then I'd pull in in some.   I did most of my catching up from 6 through 9...car was flying around 8 and 9.  I flattened out the wing and it was still stable.  The front splitter was touching in one as I had raised the rear slightly to compensate for the lower rate springs in the rear.

there was an older red porsche that carried a tire over turn 6 and flew down the back straight...must have been an older turbo.   However he threw out an anchor in turn 8 and I damn near punted him...it's a bit of a challenge to lock up the brakes in turn 9 at 130+....whew.....I passed him inside of 9 after that....

I'd love to do Fontana some day but doubt I can make the 27th.  Although the car is prepped and ready to go. 

I'll figure out how to get the windshield part soon.  Thanks for finding it.

Hey Carl,

I found your OE lower windshield surround the other day while cleaning up the garage.

Let me know if you'll be up this way anytime soon.

Also, a group of us will be running ACS Fontana Friday May 27 with Speed Ventures if you can get away.

$155 for the day and you get lunch and a shirt. 

Shoot me an email to [email protected] for contact details unless you already know Kailo/

I have another obligation on Sat.  Is there a way to get the corral pass for Sunday other than Sat Morning?  Anyone else going Sunday?

I would like to go but I'll probably go Sunday when the real racing is going on.  Is the group only going on Saturday?

Anyone have an extra one?

I know of someone up in the orange county area looking to take a reading on your OBD2 computer.  It takes about 2 minutes.  He's under contract with Dodge to collect data.  Your car has to have at least 2500 miles on it and not be recently reflashed.  There is a small gift included it you do it.  I got a letter from dodge to have it done and met the guy yesterday.  He needs to collect 8 or 9 more samples to complete his data collection. 

If you interested in meeting up with him drop me a note at [email protected] and I'll give you his contact info.

The gift was well worth the 2 minutes invested.

The slow non witty ones.  At least I got fast going for me.  I get on a plane for 24 hours and missed all the fun.

Pro Softball?  Huh?  Learn something new everyday. 

I'd love to go to Willow this weekend but can't.

I am going to try and make the 18th with OTR.  It will be the first time there in the new car.  If I can get time to get it aligned I'll try that but otherwise we will find out what a bone stock as it came from the factory '09 will do. 

So, ....what time do I need to lay down to earn a better nick name?  Never been a pro or an amateur at anything so I got that going for me.

Carl (actually I guess by definition Carl is my nickname since it's not really my name)

Dan, are you related to Ron (slocal)?  As the older he gets, the better he was also. 



Funny stuff for a Friday....I gotta get back to work......
