Re: Daytona/SCCA PDX August 4, 2017

pops,

I will put up a note here when/if we get signed up. I say we because Ken Moore is also planning to go. There's plenty of room for each of us to have pit crew. I had six last weekend!

The possible dates are September 29 and/or 30, 2017.

Stay tuned :)

Tom

Re: Daytona/SCCA PDX August 4, 2017

Fiasco. One word says it all.... Made three laps of the first session, then saw billowing smoke while coming out of Turn 6 onto the high bank - black flag came out - done for the day. Sigh. Drove home, without any sign of problems after the car cooled off. Still puzzled over what the cause may have ...

Re: Daytona/SCCA PDX August 4, 2017

Earl, You waited too late :ymtongue: I can't edit my entry as of yesterday - they've closed it. I do believe if you meet us there - or maybe even after we arrive - we'll be there I hope at 8AM - you can tell them you're part of my pit crew and they'll have you sign your life away, give you a wristba...

Re: Optima battery dilemma

Earl, Maybe the battery doesn't like the automatic trans ~~(:: I had similar Optima experiences. Kay's older xTerra didn't like the first new replacement Optima it got, so finally Autozone begrudgingly replaced it under warranty. The second one is still going fine after several years.

Trailer tires (AKA "China Bombs")

Just thought I'd post this note I wrote to a Cobra buddy after he had yet another trailer tire explode and damage the bodywork on his enclosed trailer. Here's what I wrote: Kay showed me your trailer tire misadventure you posted on Facebook. I've had many (tooo many) experiences like that with the G...

Re: Daytona/SCCA PDX August 4, 2017

Ken,

Sounds good!

Also, some of my "pit crew" are going to pick me up here about 7AM Friday to bring gas cans etc if you want to meet up then too. The driver's meeting is scheduled for 8:40AM in the pit area.
