Well, the terrain you ride is vastly different than what I ride here in CA. Due to that, our riding experiences will be very different. We have mountain passes. You have freeway overpasses. :)

The speed of the pros is....incredible. We were at the first KOM location....the stage start came up Mt Baldy Road (4.5mi, 7% avg), then hung a left on GRR for a 0.8mi/7% avg climb....and the two...
It's been quite some time since I've posted here at all, let alone in the thread I started. For whatever reason, I decided to peruse the site today, and noticed Marshall's post to part out his car,...
My last look at the 635 (you can't break the SoCal in me) was in February while it was still under construction. I drove through the 35/635 interchange, and was amazed at the amount of road...
It's actually doing well, Chris. My oldest bought it from Seth a few years ago, and has slowly been fixing it up....he just installed new seats 3 weeks ago. We now have all the parts in my garage...

Saturday's race is here. Qual'd/started P4, took P3. Unfortunately, I don't have Sunday's race win on video.
As for...

Final race of my amateur racing career, last weekend as a Series Director.....pole, and a win. At Laguna.
Check another one off...
Control rods in water, Mitch?? I've always been fascinated by how atomic energy, in relation to it running a power plant, works. It's so very basic, yet so very powerful. Ever read a book called...
Happenstance gig - had dinner last night with Michael Rispoli (The Sopranos), and Thom Berry (Cold Case).
Damn good Italian food at Robanos Italian Kitchen. The middle guy is Ronnie, the owner....
For ANY road-race motor, with an owner on a budget that can't replace engine hardware yearly.
IMO, AL rockers are not well suited for our usage. I've seen too many AL RR arms fail, and in the...
I wouldn't use an AL roller rocker arm in a road-race motor. Steel units from Comp Cams are the way to go.
Look at a set of StopTech's.
Practice makes perfect.
Cast.
I bought the rims used from a fellow AI racer earlier this year. I'm unsure how long he'd had them before I got them. I used them at 3 or 4 events this year, without any problems. No contact with...
Didn't hit anything before the rim broke, or after (thankfully). Approximately 100+mph, turned left for T1 at Sears, rim/tire exited the car (kinda quietly, too!), and I went plowing into the grass....
Oh hell no. It took years of careful, calculated practice to get them just right.
When we lived in TX, during one of the winter ice storms, I can recall taking my wife's full sized conversion van out in our cul-de-sac, with Seth riding shotgun (he was 12/13 or so at the time), and...
Took my youngest to school this morning, in a rented BWM 328i. 6:30am, wide open parking lot, no one around. Doughnut time! Shortly thereafter, he posted the following message on FB:

My old 86 GT street car with a Vortech supercharger (375rwhp/385rwtq) had the ORIGINAL T5 that survived 100k miles before the engine was upgraded, then survived another ~20k miles after the blower...
At Cal Speedway this weekend, I had to swap tires around (destroyed my RF)....while the car was in the air, I did my usual inspection. The StopTech rotors look miles better than any of my previous...
Maybe it's just me, but are those images upside down? If not, you're calipers are installed wrong...the bleeder valve should be on TOP.
I've cracked rotors that badly before.....it's not so...
For some reason, I can't edit my post, so I'll try again.
Over the weekend, my oldest son and I went here, doing some of this, while watching a bunch of this.

No kidding. 64^ right now! It's supposed to be 72^ tomorrow....kinda warm!

My wife had that surgery done ~20 years ago, and it was the biggest mistake she's ever made (marrying me not withstanding). We didn't find out until many, many years later that now she essentially...
