take a lap for me.... *sniff sniff* have fun

wish i was there

 

Simple answer is I didn't make it because of hurricane. Tell me how it all went.

 

It was a great event. No threat of rain at all, mid 80's and never any higher. Everyone behaved themselves on the track. It was a lot of fun. We missed all the instructors that could not make it. They did a lot of shuffleing to cover but it mostly worked out. I was once again one of the fastest in group 2 again. Been signed off for group 3 for monts but I have yet to actually register for a event while signed off. It really didn't matter. Even the group 2 people were being nice about leting people by. No kill stories this time. Just don't feel like typing stuff. I did get a ride in a E36 M3, E30 325is race car, and of course the wounded talon and the 200sx se-r which blew a tire at about 70mph.

 

Would that have been Scott's car? I got the "Tech Support" call on his way home

 

what did he do to his car this time? seems like every event he has something go wrong..

dale

 

two things.. One, apparently the TPS didn't make a good connection so it wasen't giving a signal to his AFC or ECU, so the correction factors weren't working..

The other one isn't that huge a deal at the track, but the transmission is popping out of 5th gear. If we are correct, that's a pretty simple fix too, just have to pull the end of the transmission off and tighen a nut..

Scott seems to have issues at the track a far number of times, then again, he drives the car pretty hard on top of it's daily driver status.

I hope to make one eventually, I'm tired of him rubbing in what I'm missing. Still have a few things to fix on my talon before i trust it to a track event.

 

It had a lot to do with the fact that Tuesday before the event the engine was still in pieces in the garage. He was lucky to even make the event. The TPS issue is fixed, the severe bucking probably loosened the nut on the transmission and caused the fifth gear issue. He has had bad luck lately, hopefully that is all behind him now.
