Ok changed my mind. Resume.
Come on out on the 25th
Working- would end up being too late. Already scheduled for 9/3 . I tried to get in 9/2 but full and on wait list. Next week the car goes on stands and gets a good go through. I do a hour or 2 of stuff over a week or 2. Still need to mark all the nuts and bolts. The new R-12s have 3 days on them and really want to see if they are cracking like the last set. If so they get tossed and RP-1s go on.
Ya, many cars with big HP that will never see a track. So so sad... I believe in driving a vehicle. Every car that I have owned or own has seen redline and more lateral Gs than most vehicles will see in 10 lifetimes. Well maybe not the Jeep as much, only 5 other vehicle lifetimes. Ha. You have to preserve the DD so there is cash for the Mustang.
I'll fix it. "A piece of cardboard on the wheel and also have a table. ". Better?
Old #19 looks so good in the pic like it is a zero mile specimen headed off to auction
Thanks!!! I was very picky when looking for a car in 2020 and can only take partial credit. 2nd owner is a Ford sales manager and was very meticulous. When I picked it up he had it detailed by his guys. The pics on autotrader didn't do it justice. It definitely helps to have an awesome baseline. I have had 3 black cars over the years. They either look great, dirty, or dull - no middle ground. Collinite 845 has been my go-to for decades. A coat of that and a quick wipe with Maguiars Ultimate Detailer after every wash does is my routine now. Easy on and off for both even in the sun.
How did you do today?? I had to do a bunch of stuff around the house. Couldn’t make it there..
217 uneventful track miles for the weekend. There was lots of traffic in novice all weekend so decided to go out as long as I could for the open session. I skipped my last session for a good long break, sat in the AC in the meeting room and loaded up on fluids. If you and your car makes it through the weekend and weather holds up Sunday open session is the best. Hardly anyone on the track and only advanced, intermediate and a couple approved novice solo. I think I was the only one on the track for the last 15 minutes. Open session - hot hot hot and greasy past 3 laps so wasn't pushing but got 14 total in with a tire and brake check about 2/3 in. I had my friend in the car that got me into the hobby. Dana was in for quite a few sessions and no car issues. Other than the heat it was a perfect weekend. Good seeing you Saturday! See you next Sunday for the NASA races.
You bet! Almost 90 k on the car. Ran all weekend with no issues. Wife in the car over 1/2 the time. New friends. Fun fun fun. I have to kick myself sometimes to see if it's real.
