TWS NEXT WEEKEND

[ShadowBolt]

I signed up for next week and paid for a garage. Are we all going to park in the middle row garage? Last event I parked next to you guys and then had a guy tell me I was in his spot. I guess there is no way to have all the AI/CMC guys that pay for a garage assigned spots together?


JJ

[mitchntx]

Did "the guy" tell you that on Friday?

If so, Misty does her best to coordinate the MSC/TWS Friday event and the NASA event on Saturday and Sunday.

To answer you directly, yes we all try and pit together. But that is becoming more and more difficult as the car count grows.

[ShadowBolt]

"the guy" was a DEer and it was Sat. morning. All I had to do is move over into the next stall. It's just that it had 4" of water in it. I was trying to see if there was a way to make sure I did not have that problem again.


JJ

[GlennCMC70]

i've never paid attention to stall numbers assinged, just that i paid for one. if your in a spot and someone shows up and askes you to move, tell them to piss off as nice as you can. and the only DE'er i want in the garage w/ us is future CMC/AI racers.

Nuff said.
You have to understand this was my first NASA race and I did not know I could be an Ass hole without getting kicked out of the place.

Thanks Glenn

when they ask who you are, tell them your Matt Fucking White!

[mitchntx]

when they ask who you are, tell them your Matt Fucking White and I didn't take my meds this morning!

fixed ... :wink:

[Wirtz]

Any plans for a movie night on Friday and / or Saturday? I can again offer up a projector and a largeish set of PC speakers. A better sound system would be, well, better... I can also bring a PC for either DVDs or online movie clip watchage. Any idears?

Jeff

[jeffburch]

No trip to China planned? :roll: 8) :lol:

jb

[Jeremy Gunter]

I will bring the speakers, that is if you think you can handle it... I am in the process of trying to sell the entire setup, but no one seems to be DJing anymore :(

I really could use the money from selling them, although I could also make some money with the speakers :D

My parents are bringing their Motorhome this weekend to watch the races... they have been asking about this whole racing thing so I figured I would bring them along to watch... maybe they can haul the sound system!

Jeff do you have all the correct cables to hook up the video? I have the audio covered from a headphone jack out...

[jeffburch]

:idea:
I sold $700 worth of junk in 2 weeks on Ebay.
jb

[Wirtz]

Hopefully not to jinx it, but currently no plans to have to go back to China. I have the video ins covered I think (VGA, S-Vid, RCA). If we use my PC, the audio will need to work from a small diameter headphone connector.

Now the real question; who has some good movies to watch?

[David Love AI27]

and a bunch of crap to a fellow racer.... LOL

can't wait to cruise on my new bike...

[AI#97]

when they ask who you are, tell them your Matt Fucking White!

Gee Glenn, you should know better that the standard answer to that question was established 5 years ago and everyone but you knows it's "I'm Adam Ginsberg"...

However, if you want shit done, then yes, use my name...I will routinely deny responsibility anyway... :lol:

[Al Fernandez]

And this weekend we can all say our name is Adam Ginsberg because he wont be there to defend himself! :lol:

Now, who is going to be there??? The last NASA update I got shows very few names:

AIX
David Love

AI
Frank Robertson
David Donovan

CMC
Jeff Burch
Morgan Dawdy
Al Fernandez
Glenn Landrum
Jeff Wirtz

So dont forget to sign up guys. Who else is coming???

Signed up this morning on the national site...one question...the national site doesn't have the ECR race in October on the list...just not added yet or has that event been cancelled?

[AllZWay]

I signed up...save me a stall. :D

[rpoz27]

This goes without saying, but Jake and I will be there.

[ShadowBolt]

Team Jordan is signed up.


JJ

[David Love AI27]

LiiR is signed up for both AIX and the Enduro... Jason will be competing in the sprint races on Saturday, I will run the sprint race on Sunday and Nick Runyon, Jason and I will be in the enduro (if Jason is approved to drive)...

We have also paid for a garage space, so you guys are stuck with us all weekend...

[David Love AI27]

This goes without saying, but Jake and I will be there.

What about Martin?? We like Martin even if he is confused about what a "real" race car is... :twisted:

[rpoz27]

Oh yeah, I forgot about him. He'll be there, too.

Speaking of real race cars, James Clay of World Challenge and Bimmerworld was our private instructor on Thursday. We had the Camaro, Martin's BMW, and a friend's BMW at the track for it. The friend offered to let James drive his BMW. James asked if he could drive the Camaro instead. 8)

Picture is exiting T6. Track was wet. I don't think we exited a single corner with the ass end lined up straight, but the car never felt unbalanced or out of control and James planned ahead for the slip angles so he was never surprised. I was giggling like a schoolgirl for the whole ride. Awesome day!

There is no such thing as fake boobs....if you can touch them then they are real!

[Rob Liebbe]

I'll be there for the sprints and the enduro. I'll sign up tonight.

[Jeremy Gunter]

I see that garage space is limited and reserved, is that 1/2 of one of the pit stalls? I am thinking about renting one, but I don't know that it's worth the trouble when I am only DEing...

yes...and it is limited. It is usually customary for DE guys to pit along the fence....

[marshall_mosty]

Michael and I will be there as well. Michael will be running the sprint races in #11 and we will co-drive #67 in the enduro.

I won't be running sprint races this weekend.

[Rob Liebbe]

Signed up - with garage space. Todd and I should be there Friday so he can get some practice and get a bit used to my car.

Well, his list didn't have Misty who already registered and I know Daron and Mason want some more beatings on track so it shouldn't be too bad... as long as we have 5 things will be good.

[GlennCMC70]

Mitch Warren is missing on that list - he's going.
Bryan Lienart isa possible.

[ShadowBolt]

Do I need to contact someone? I signed up a week ago and have a e-mailed conformation. Why am I not on the list?

I think Michael told me he was signed up also but I don't see him on the list either.


JJ

[GlennCMC70]

people who are considered NASA Staff are on a different list.
i saw Michaels name.

[GlennCMC70]

Jerry, i'll look into your issue.

Thanks Glenn.

I will be there, just might not have the car ready.

The fuel tank is still not in the car, plus I have a few other things that need to be addressed that I don't see I will have time to complete before this weekend.

See ya this weekend!

Dude, My car is ready... and Jason is driving Sat. I have lots of time to help you put it back together... load it all up... what can I do to help???

[donovan]

I installed a new fuel tank(used), with my internals... I can't get the system to presurize. I need figure that out.

Change oil, flush brake system, flush cooling system.

Oil has four events on it, brak fluid has four as well, and has not been bleed in two events. Cooling issues makes me want to flush the cooling system.

Need better ducting for radiator.

Exhaust system rear hanger broke at the last event, needs some fab & welding work.

Power steering system developed a medium size leak... not sure about this one...

plus a few small other things...

Time is the only problem... if I can sneak out of the office early a few days and take off Thursday I should be fine, but if not I'm not going to do another all nighter, I have done that for the last two events...I'm done with that.

DD

[Mason]

Daron and I will be there and will be running the sprint races only and we have reserved covered parking if anyone's keeping count.

Matt, you'll be introduced to the new and improved AI75 V2.4b3 over the weekend, don't worry. :D

David, get the car done and come out!!!

- the Down Under Race Team Rookie

[AI#97]

Oil has four events on it, brak fluid has four as well, and has not been bleed in two events. Cooling issues makes me want to flush the cooling system.



Mine has started using oil to the point where I haven't changed it in like 7 events now... :oops: I am going to change it tonight and then probably bleed the brakes at the track Friday night.

Why did you end up swapping tanks...? Was it more than just the grommets leaking?

Mason...there have been some improvements on AI#97 too... ;)

I have been analyzing a lot of my videos and think I figured out how the air is moving over the nose of the car...just hope these wear plates last on the nose! something is working right because I keep having to increase the attack on the rear wing. in 06' at Houston, I was at 2.5 degrees of attack...I am now approaching 5.5. The car is starting to come into it's own and feels outstanding on track...just don't know if it's fast or not! :lol:

[donovan]

The grommet was leaking, actually the Sending Unit gasket was the problem, last time it was installed it had rolled and under compression split.

In the process of fixing that I noticed that the baffle in the tank was loose and rolling around. No real good way to fix it, so I sourced a used tank and installed it with my internals.

I installed the tank last night and put in 5 gallons of fuel and now it won't prime up... Uhg! Not sure what the problem is, I would think that 5 gallons would be enough to get the pump to pull pressure.

The lines are different sizes so I don't think I have the hooked up wrong.

[cjlmlml]

Race + Garage 358.98

Gas for the weekend $200 at least



$558 before even getting on the track,


Does that not seem like a lot of money to anyone? Anyone?

[Wirtz]

I had a tank once that I had trouble getting to prime, I cupped over the fill tube with my hand and used my air gun to add some pressure. It was just enough to get it to prime and after that it was good. Just an idea.

Might it be trash in the new tank blocking the screen? Fox tanks are a little different than what I am used to on our "returnless" systems maybe Marshall can give you some input...he has worked on his plenty and so did Richard I think....? I'd hate to see you miss the event but maybe a cell with a sump and external pump is the next logical upgrade if the internals are going bad on you...?

Didn't Corey give you a deal on it? 8) :lol:

jb

[donovan]

Jeff, I will give that a try... sounds like a good idea.


The pump is about four years old too... I'm ordering a new pump just in case its just old enough to not work good enough, this might be a sign that its worn out a little.

Matt, I flushed the tank out good and cleaned it up... should not be anything in the tank... new filter sock on the pump, lines look okay... no kinks...

I'm thinking the pump is just old and not priming up... I will try Jeff's idea... I also have a stock pump I could try as well... but could not race on it, but could use it for testing.

Before I got into this stuff I was told to just figure on a grand per event as well.

Anyone up for going to eat at Ozona sat night? I like the Ozona on Greenville Ave in Dallas and would hope it is similar.

Bryan

[cjlmlml]

Guess I havent been adding everything up .

I will go back to not adding things up.

Ignorance is bliss.

Ask Mitch Warren.

[Al Fernandez]

:lol:

Dave, FYI I couldnt get my pump to prime once because of a miniscule leak upstream of it. No gas would come out, but the pump sucked in air. So, if your pump is external like mine, double check all upstream fittings.

Apologies if I missed a name on the registered list. I cant double check since I cant access that email from work. Glenn, can you double check for me??

NOT the same place! I am thinking Freebirds Saturday night and picking up cheap beer on the way back to the track...screw that cotton patch shit!

Dave, it's just strange that the pump would suddenly crap out...could you possibly prime it from the engine bay by running fuel back down the supply line?

Could be the pump is 4+ years old and just not as good anymore... I have had the tank out three or 4 times over the past couple years and never had this problem... I checked again last night, it has 4-5 gallons of fuel, should be enough to prime it up.

I will try the air pressure thing Jeff suggested, and them maybe put another 5 gallons of fuel in...

Maybe I just need to let it sit overnight... I will try it when I get home... could be that the new fuel pump strainer was not letting fuel in, soaking overnight might be enough????

DD

[marshall_mosty]

David,
I have a spare pump and strainer in my pit box. You are more than welcome to them. I learned a long time ago that I may need them... six times.

Luckily that Gremlin has died and hasn't resurfaced. I still don't know why and that just irks me not to know.

Oh well... Back to ingorant bliss. 8)

[Rob Liebbe]

I had similar fuel pump issues as Marshall and on his recommendation switched from Autozone pumps to O'reily pumps and have had no further problems.

Not the same issue as Donovan though. So I'm of no use after all.

I forget, what was the issues with your's and Marshalls pumps? I just remember a lot of tank remove and installs, but forget what the problems was?

DD

[Rob Liebbe]

The pumps would just stop working. One session it would work, and the next time you tried to start the car the pump wouldn't run at all.

Marshall did a "scientific" dry pump to failure test and found that the Autozone pumps would fail a LOT quicker than the O'Reily pumps.

Silly engineer.

Silly engineer.

The AutoZone pump failed within approx 1 hour of running on a 12V battery charger in a "dry" condition.

The O'Reilley's lasted somewhere between 8-10 hours before failure.

You have to sacrifice some to find the strong ones. 8) No problems since!

I wish it was that easy! I looked at yours, I removed it from the plastic bottom and revealed a rather large dent, its like a 11 gallon tank... looks like someone jacked up a car with it.

It was a lot more work.

Are you working on Friday's list or Sat/Sun?

I won't be there in time for Friday cheating bastard practice...but I did sign up for a garage for Sat./Sun.

Are you working on Friday's list or Sat/Sun?

All of it. Jessica sent me what she has and I'm assigning spaces. This is what I have for AI/CMC:

Mulder, Liebbe, Robertson, Jordan, MacNeil, Mosty, Mosty, Robertson, White, Donovan, Landrum, Proctor, Dawdy, Warren, Wirtz, Leinart, Fernandez, Burch, Love, Cain, Cooke

Is anyone missing who wants a garage? Is anyone on this list who does not want to be there? I'm posting the final tonight in several forums and to my registrants list, so speak now, please.

[Jeremy Gunter]

can I park an RV where groups 1 and 2 pit? it says no trailers but was curious about RV's... Also, can I park my trailer there on Friday during the afternoon until the RV arrives friday night? to save the spot?

[rpoz27]

Run the RV parking by JC on Friday. I don't know the answer to that one. The only spot that needs to stay clear, as far as I know, is directly between the tower and the media room and they just need a line of sight path.

Kinda nice how it worked out that all the Fords are on one side and all the GM's are all on the other side. Really helps the cohesiveness. (Except for Burch of course, as he goes both ways. :wink: )

You have two Robertsons with garages (28 and 33). Just thought I would point it out to you incase it was a mistake.

Gary and Frank. Added initials.

Gary- if you want to move to the Fbody side, you can.

Kinda nice how it worked out that all the Fords are on one side and all the GM's are all on the other side. Really helps the cohesiveness. (Except for Burch of course, as he goes both ways. :wink: )

Thanks for doing this, Misty! Huge help!
Now the fun part will come on Friday in the "enforcement" phase!

You're welcome! Kinda curious to see if it survives Friday morning.

My bad. I forgot we had two Robertsons. Anyone know what happened to Chuck Penny? He missed Cresson and I don't see him signed up here.

so far i've only ever seen Chuck sign-up and race at Houston.

Does the open office work with Vista?

Nothing works with Vista...except your checkbook.

[Rsmith350]

actually i downloaded it and it works like a champ with Vista. Just in case any body is curious.

[BryanL]

I have been using it for over a year with Vista with zero problems. Thanks for the tip on saving the files as an excel file Robert.

Looks like I will miss this event, couldn't find the time to finish the car.

You guys have fun and be safe.

If anyone who lives near or can go past PST on the way to TWS tomorrow, we need a couple bottles of Motul 660 brake fluid.

If anyone can help, give me a call in the morning and I will arrange it with PSt so they are ready to go.

thanks.

[GlennCMC70]

Looks like the projector I was going to borrow lost it's buld sometime last week. I'm not sure if anyone else was bringing something.

I have to flush my brakes at the track and have 1.75 bottles of 660 with me...worst case, we can use what we got on hand and figure it out after that....

[oz98cobra]

thanks Matt - if we can't get any today, we'll take you up on that.

When you heading down?

[cjlmlml]

There is a motorcycle place in Carrolton, west of 35, rundown kind of place, near a army surplus store I believe, I have bought Motul kart stuff there before, you might try them.

[oz98cobra]

thanks guys - got some a mile from the house at Autoscope - just had to cut off an arm and a leg for payment :roll:
