White car is waiting on the red car to vacate the garage. Borla cat-back,front shifter cup, tranny fluid, suspension bolts torque check, brake bleed, some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm good to go...

altho I'm beginning to think the black guy may be a better steed... he's running really well. Mean and neglected, reminded me this evening that any of these beasts will bite you hard if you're not careful. He needs fuel to be ready.

Looking forward to being back on track. It's been a while. Honestly, I'm more comfortable on a bike, don't know what I'm going to do with all that extra rubber on the road.

Can't wait, gents.

cool! so, the yellow car is ready to go.

now, the next project is to get the euro engine out and to my garage, right?

Pistons should be ready by next week so next weekend the short block should be done. (possibly the weekend after the race school weekend)

I am interested but I have let my medical card expire since I stopped racing 5 years ago, I still have a suit but my helmet has expired last year. Also I have no catch cans or anything to make my car into a track car. What are the requirements?
I have raced at "Blunder Hill" about a dozen times and know it sorta well.

Belts, suit, helmet and catch-cans would be an issue with some groups.


Id call/Email them and find out before towing up...you have time to remedy the small stuff...if the issue is an out of spec RACE car.

If its still a complete as built street car..ya..no probs...you can rent a bucket from Thill too.
