Update. Well I just got back from the AutoX weekend and here’s what I got done before I went: - Install Wolfe 6-Point Cage Yup, that’s it. Haha. See below for my reasons/excuses though. I did some basic shit like change all the fluids, check the brakes etc. too. But not nearly what I wanted to get done. On an up-note I had an awesome time at the AutoX. The car is really getting sorted out and my driving is coming around nicely. :nod: The course had me deap in to 3rd gear (so nearly 90) which is hauling ass for an AutoX course. 🙂 What I didn’t get done: - Install PA Racing Tubular Front K-Member - A-Arms haven’t come in, no use ripin’ up the front end twice ☹ - Install PA Racing Tubular Front Lower Control Arms (awaiting arival :rolleyes: ) - **still awaiting arival** - Alignment (awaiting above installs) - Relocate Battery to the Spare-Tire Well - I’m teh lazy - Power Steering Cooler - Can’t place it 'till the new K-Member is in ☹ - Motor Oil Cooler - Same - Build Bracket for above Coolers - Same Still a lot to do right there, and this weekend just made my list grow. C5 Brakes, Race Seats, T2R diff. and 3.73s etc. etc. It never ends 😃 -TJ ---

> [@tjZ28](#): > > It’s at Laguna Seca. I used to live in da 'burgh but live in Santa Cruz, CA now. I still keep on the board to keep up w/ some old buddies and since it’s just damn entertaining sometimes. 😉 Honestly when it comes to racing sometimes I wish I still lived there. I drive 3 hrs for my AutoX events (although the course is huuuuuuuuuge for an AutoX, we’re talking mid 3rd in Fbodies = 80+ which is nice compared to the small events at North Park) and 3hrs to the drag strip (which I rarely go to anyway). When I was in PA I had like 3 strips within 1hr plus the flashlight drags and Zeilenople (sp???). And they were just finishing Beaver Run which looks amazing (I never got to use it though ☹ ). Then again here I have Seca under an hour away, and Sears Point, Button Willow and Thunderhill all reasonably close. _shrug_ Oh, but the Seca track day is like $279 but you do get 7 run sesions. **EVERYTHING** is expensive in Cali. > > -TJ God hates California. You need to move back to the east coast before he smites you. ---

> [@Darkstar](#): > > God hates California. You need to move back to the east coast before he smites you. If I found the “right” job I might do it. But I like it out here. BTW I was driving up to Sacramento to sell some car parts the other day and I came across a road sign that had a few local towns distances then at the bottom “Ocean City, MD 3072” I thought that was kinda funny. -TJ ---

Now that I think 'bout it maybe it was 3073… but I wasn’t in Sac. Probably about 2hrs south of it when I saw the sign. Weird. -TJ ---
