Good luck! Hope it's ready for this weekend and let me know if you need help trackside.
After a long five month winter of completely being ignored (and I mean completely!) my car fired up yesterday. I did have to drop a new battery in since the old one read -0.3 volts. Yep, negative! Other than that my over the winter maintenance consisted of pulling the trailer the race car is in from Concord Ca to Magnolia Tx and re-tightening the straps for the tow to the dyno shop friday morning.
Moral of the story? Don't ever use me as a role model for maintenance! :lol: See you guys friday!!
I, on the other hand, am a maintenance machine and will have CMC#2 completely overhauled prior to TWS!!!
Fresh engine/tranny oils
Fresh brake pads (oh yes...all around)
Fresh brake fluid (oh yes...all of it)
Fresh tires (uh-huh...only one heat cycle)
Fresh hubs (will be on the truck...I think I can get another weekend)
We'll bring Al's car to a Mustang shop (Houston Performance) on Friday morning to get his annual dyno done before heading up to TWS for an afternoon practice.
+ Staying at the Howard Johnson Express 5 miles from the track (thanks for the offer, Misty, but I wanted to steer clear of Mr. Warren. It's a karma thing, ya' know what I mean.)
+ Driver's meeting Saturday morning...schedule should be out soon.
+ AI/CMC series tech throughout the Sat. morning with the directors coming around. (Have your dyno sheets and logbooks available.)
+ AI/CMC driver's meeting at lunchtime in the AI/CMC paddock area. (Group photo?)
+ Trophy girls Sat. afternoon 3-5 pm...podium pics!
+ Fuddruckers party Saturday nite in the banquet room ~7pm. We'll get an AI/CMC table/area to whoop it up.
...then do it all over again on Sunday!!!
+ TWSB track records at large.
+ With 4 remaining events in the seaon, those who missed the first two will be pressed to do well in the remainder of the events in order to place well in the series points. Championships are still up for grabs!
Many returning veterans and newbie rookies showing up to join the Texas AI/CMC party....see you there!!!

What? I found a room as well because I was afraid of Todd getting "too friendly".Quote:

You guys have a blast out there. I'll stay in touch with Michael this weekend to make sure you are all behaving.
See you in June!
Nice work Todd. I would love to catch a ride around for a few laps on Friday to see the racing line. Also, I might be interested in your old tires.
I am in and registering for Friday practice today. Had a P0300 Random misfire. Simple Quick had some MSD plug wires I put on and it didn't hiccup on the dyno. Made probably 10 pulls without a problem. Though if you watched the Tech 2 at idle it would show a misfire on a few cylinders, but it wouldn't throw a code. I took it out on the service road and made two successful full throttle passes and it felt real strong.
Would like to pit with all of you if possible.
Mitch-is everything to do Time Trials on the NASA website?
Yes ...
