You know you're in Texas when the size of Chicken Fried Steak & Cheesecake pancakes as compared to Love & Covini's head gets more airplay than reserved tickets, hotel and rental car for an Abu Dhabi F1 race. :lol:

Sooooo, I went up to the TWS Open Track day for some CB practice (but in the wrong direction as Jason Love pointed out) to learn how to drive the d*mn Camaro.
Well, it seems that the Camaro or I am dumb, because I still can't drive the d*mn thing.
"Loose is fast", right?
Well what is "don't dare trail brake the tinyist bit too much or you're going to spin going into 4 and not get the clutch in quickly enough and stall the motor and it won't restart because of a known issue with LS1s due to removing an LED from the stock cluster and you need to add a resistor so that the car will charge properly"?
So what is that? Is that still fast?
Houston (trying to learn to drive the Camaro) NW
Also, I'm driving home and pulled over to check the straps on the Camaro. Seems I have an issue with race cars falling off trailers.
In any case, I'm pulling back onto Highway 6 South and a Cadillac CTS-V is in the median making a left (Hwy 6 is not controlled access at this point).
So I see the Caddy and think Mitch. The Caddy passes me and then slows down and rolls down the tinted window. The driver guns it a couple of times and I think that he looks like Sam.
Of course, since I'm coming from the track, every car and every driver looks like someone I know, right?
Then I find this thread.
So Sam does have a CTS-V, and it's black, and he lives near College Station.
GTF outta here, was that you Sam?
I didn't do much but I think Covini got his internet turned back on.
Family RV trip to DC. Haven't gotten my chance to moon Obama.
Please do. If you miss out I may give it a try on 8-28.Quote:

Now I just need to take Proctor's off the car and see if I did it right. Will still probably add a cooler to get it to live a little longer.
Some dirt track shops sell a flow reducer for these pumps. Screws right in. I havent personally used one, But we have done this before.
It's a Turn One pump so some reduced volume already. Interesting piece once you get them apart.Quote:
