OK --If you take the EZ up – I can push Bruce to take the Grill --Then maybe I can stick the Radio’s in Tom’s Truck if they will not fit in Bruce’s. Hey is Jon going?

I would lean towards yes. He was waiting to hear about work. Cant say for sure tho. Where is the 318 leaking from? What do you need? Can you bring the EZ Up to work with you tomorrow or Wed? I’ll prob drive out with Jeff right after you guys so cant take it off your hands Thurs morning. ---

I hope he makes it --should be a fun event. 102 students, Racers, Canadian Beer. Oh Sorry. The 318 decided to leak Antifreeze yesterday at the AX. There was fluid on both sides of the motor, near motor mount, no visible leaks from Radiator or Waterpump or hoses. So concensus seemed to be head gasket. The 240 continues to smoke lightly when under load ( near Turbo) – No leaks I can find, some seepage from edge of Oilpan (modified stock pan with welded on larger sump and baffles --that never really fit right) --so I am going to try and swap out the oil pan tonight. EZ up --Yea I can bring it to work the next couple of days, can you pick up or Where can I drop it off? ---

Who needs a place to crash. Jon and I rented a Chalet overlooking all kinds of fancy Canadian Landscape, complete with whores and brass poles. $50 a night… 4 Bedroom Chalet… room for two more. 12 minutes from track. Yes, I am serious… minus the brass pole thing… contact me, or even leave Jesse a message if interested… ---

It’s a shame that those people who said they were “definitely coming” decided not to actually go, because it was an awesome weekend. _[![http://inlinethumb48.webshots.com/44335/2068181550102272527S600x600Q85.jpg](http://inlinethumb48.webshots.com/44335/2068181550102272527S600x600Q85.jpg)](http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2068181550102272527AFgUrW)_ ---

Haven’t even pulled mine out of the trailer yet. Need a few days off. So sick of fixing this car all year long. JP lap record! :excited Followed seconds later by the JP lap record for cars running on 5 cyls. DNF. :facepalm ---

Both of us were dialing in the cars every session and getting faster. Jon went from 2:26s to 2:23s by Sunday mainly through tire tweaks and very minor damper adjustments. Way cool. ---
