    Got it running late tonight. Only had it running long enough to verify there were no crunching/tapping/knocking noises or any fluids gushing out, dad said I can't run the car after 8pm in his house. Still got to finish cleaning up everything under the hood before I can drive it.

    Flew over this yesterday - looks like fun. It is the Texas DPS Training Facility NW of Georgetown. I don't think they will let us use it.

    I ran the S197 street car at Cresson while testing w/ Marshall. I put some old Toyo's on it and started with a full tank of gas. I couldn't do more than 4-5 laps before the brakes started feeling like crap but still was running 1:28's.
    I now feel it was a good decision removing the S197 from CMC b/c it would have been a class killer. It is like you are on a Sunday drive. It has 3.31 gears and was very interesting pulling 3rd gear to 110 mph into rattlesnake. It got 6 mpg.

    New front brakes, cleaned the MAF and got rid of the helmholtz resonator, quick adjustment on the too hard to deal with coilovers (on a chassis that didn't come with them), flipped four tires, pulled the nose to get the brake ducts in better. Need to change oil, check it over, get it aligned and go beat up the #24...

    Therapeutic for sure.

    While not technically what I did today, but my 15 year old son William has been busy getting his glider pilot's license. See link.

    Next month he starts learning to drive a car, then I will be nervous.
