Turnos out there is no problem at all. Just a broekn spring and retainer. Was leaked down at less than 1.5 percent per cylinder 3 days ago. I am actually selling it because in the process of thinking it was hosed, I talked myself into building a euro motor to run in E stock. This is actually working out better than I thought.

Paolo, drive VIR. It's a spectacular track and setting. Hotel and restaurant on site. Beautiful surrounding and geography.

Wow, just remind me to never stay over your place for a week-end.......

......Then again, it all depends on the bottle of wine........

Sorry about the motor........

On the bright side you will have a chance to dominate a different class and I will have a real excuse of why I don't win any races........

Edit: If you will be running E class, my excuse is out the window......

Paolo just a thought...come down the week before and drive NASA Hyperfest http://hyper-fest.com/events/hyperfestGirls.html at Summit point then continue your journey south to the PCA VIR event the following weekend.

Hyperfest is a total hoot. Daisy duke contest on saturday night is a must see..

Hoping to do VIR . VIR is a really hard track to learn. But the gentlemen's club in NC is well worth the trip...

That is great news!!!! ANd too funny that you are still going to build a new motor. Must be a man thing as once I have decided something there is no going back. Think you will be up for LRP?

I'm sure you're a very quick driver but when it comes to gettin' around VIR most would agree that BKS is in a league by himself...
Heck, he even has his own fan club...

I know that Brian is very quick, but when you get a chance, ask him (and Jim Foster) about the Yankee that he met with the white GT3 at VIR in 2005.

I wouldn't mind watching some VIR videos of Larry, BKS, or anyone else who seems to know that track.......

So.......what are the chances of some VIR videos being kindly posted?......
