With the BMW leaking Antifreeze Sunday --and not knowing if I can repair the 240SX in time ( I think i am down to a simple oil pan gasket) —I may not take my truck. In case Bruce does not have enough room --Are any of you guys willing to throw my grille and Easy up in your trucks? ( I was thinking back yard grill instead of the portable one --comments)
DJ
Sounds good.
I was thinking of buying a portable grill to bring also to try and save money on food. I may stop by walmart or lowes today to see what they got.
I can definitely fit an EZ Up, I doubt a full size grill. Tom and I are going to shuffle some stuff between are trucks tho. His actual pickup bed is more useful for tall stuff.
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? Louis asked me late last week and I forgot to ask you.
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?
I’ll be driving by at some point. Let me know if you brought it tomorrow (Tues).
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…
Damn-I forgot it. Never Mind --We will make things fit, or I bring the little grille and not the bigger one.
I know some of the Canadian folks were looking for beds, do you want me to put it out there?
it is awesome.
Mike, I’m expecting a ton of pictures from the event!
I’m also expecting them to have huge Rspeed.com watermarks :rofl
awesome two days. Thanks for the ride OLDMAN(Tom!). Can’t wait for Lime Rock!
Good to see you guys got back alright. I got in around midnight and immediately passed out, just finished unloading the trailer this morning.
Pics/stories/videos to come when I can see straight again…
It’s a shame that those people who said they were “definitely coming” decided not to actually go, because it was an awesome weekend.
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
Yeah, you JP guys did not have a whole lot of luck this weekend. Jon was running really well sunday after you left, right up until he broke.
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.
Jason & Jon - thanks for the place to stay; it was great to be able to get some real rest. And I loved how the whores were so discreet, sneaking out the back through the window. Very classy touch.
PS - did the guy ever ask you for more money? If so, let me know.
U paid more than your fair share. Never met or spoke to guy other than one call from track on sat telling him where the cash american was.
He included the daughter with the chalet fee.
