I would happy to me you as well.


Camp 944 spec will be on the far West end the main garages. There are two garage buldings and 944 spec will have some RV spots on the west side of the west building. Drop by there and you should find most of us around that area.

Richgreenster

Will do. Let me know if you guys need me to bring anything.

M758

No need to bring anything.

We have test day on Wedensday, qualfiying Races Thursday and Friday and Championship race is Saturday afternoon. I forget the exact time.
My sig picture was taken turn 1 of last years Championship race at the start.

I live in Tooele about 15 min from MMP. You bet Ill be there! It would be nice to meet you guys. My 951 isn't currently running tho so please forgivethe Chebby truck I will be in.

M758

A local yeah!

I have been to Miller twice and never actually been in Tooele... BTW.. most of us will be arriving in a Ford, Chevy or Dodge too...

Darwantae951

All you guys are more than welcome at my house. You can laugh as I try to wrestle my transmission out.

M758

Last year one guy changed his head (bent somevalves on a shift) on thursday and we did an engine change on another car the night before the big race. A tranny change is easy for us.

Darwantae951

No swap, just removal. I need replace some seals and clean things up. If you guys are interested, we can have a small GTG (if your schedules permit).

M758

Schedule for the event.


Tuesday Travel day with a number of people arriving in the evening
Wedensday - All day test day and some drivers arriving throughout the day.
Thursday - Qualfiyng races - Open in the evening
Friday - Qualfiying Race - NASA Banquet in the evening
Saturday - Championship races - Open evening, Probably group cook out at the track
Sunday - Some guys going home other runing GTS1 championship.


Our day time is pretty busy, but a few evenings are open. 30+ Drivers/crew/family makes for big group so it may not be feasible or realistic to get everyone over, but we still might be able to work something.



BTW... I should take no more than 2 hrs to pull a gearbox and replace a couple seals. Is the input shaft seal leaking?

Darwantae951

Definately would like to come watch you guys. I've never been to a 944 specific event!

I think it's the diff seals. Input shaft area seemed pretty clean.
