Tim had his out last month.....I take it you were out of town? Right now the weather is looking great....showing 78 degrees for a high

I don't suppose you will be making it to the NCM Bash to instruct on the new track next month....this will be the second year for me; looking forward to it...and again in June when the club has the track for two days

See ya Saturday "CB"

I think I was racing at TWS - either that or I was out of town - that's my schedule for the next few months...on the road or racing on the SCCA tour, we've got COTA coming up weekend after next...the NCM bash, I'll be racing at MSR Houston with SCCA that weekend.

Eventually our paths will cross other than ECR; I'm catching COTA in May with PCA (Instructing) and kinda thinking about NCM HPDE at VIR the end of June.....especially if a good friend also attended with his Motorhome

As luck would have it, it would seem to be the rack and needs a rebuild.

Going to upgrade the pump while I'm in there, add a cooler, and replace the hoses too.

I've heard a hand full of rice works wonders for clogging up leaks too
