So much fun. Beautiful weather, great students, lots of light bulbs, martinis, and racecars - what's not to like?

I had a couple of great rides in the right seat this weekend. This just in... Robert's a pretty freaking fast drover. If you can get a ride with him, don't miss it. And I got to ride with Jim Buckley who absolutely rocks in an SC. Don't ever turn down a ride with Buckley! Amazing to watch him gobble up the red run group.

Great instruction from VR, West, and Michael Paton too. Thanks for helping me out!

Robert used to get around pretty well in an SRF, so yeah, he is a good drover. And need I also mention his skills in a F250 Crew Cab Nuclear Turbo Diesel in the rain at MSRH?

Jim Buckley is a very good drover. He and I had some wonderful dicing this weekend, with both of us carrying passengers.

Great time as usual even though, as the penguin found out from his mechanic, I blew a seal. I'll be at the dealer to confirm that this morning.

Good luck with the repair. IF it's the seal, you'll prbably want to replace the clutch as well. You should only pay for parts, 'cause the work is the same (old or new clutch in).

I am planning an engine-drop-GTG around the holidays at my house in the Woodies. If you can wait that long we'll do yours at the same time!

No matter how you look at it, blowing a seal (or a tranny) is never a good thing.
