It sounds like it is pretty low turnout.

Jake and I will be there to test&tune the FRC - so we can be ready to run with all the big boys in NASA the next weekend

Guess you twisted my arm enough, I'll be there this weekend and next. Wanna take any bets on how long I'll last before I see smoke coming from under the hood again?

Looks pretty shady from the outside but I'm staying at the Executive Inn. If you and Jake need a warm floorspace to camp, you're welcome. At least I hope it'll be warm, reservation lady said 2 of the rooms had no heat and she had to go get some space heaters.... She was going to give me a good price on it but I passed..

No bets on smoking - we are taking the FRC - it had a bad experience its last time at the track...I have a little bit of "weepage" around the oil temp sender (I think) on the oil block - so I have a hint of hot oil myself. The motor has 2000 miles on it now and a fresh oil change.

We have 1/4 inch of XP12 left on the front - how long do you think that will last?

I guess we'll just "run whatcha brung"... Got a good stash of 1/4" XP10's I can share if you need 'em. I am doubly aware of the need for good brakes at CMP especially after the nice double spin and mushroom cloud of dirt and dust I left there. It's been over a year -- hope I don't get flashbacks....

Thanks beerkat for the warning about the driveway. I'll keep an eye out.

ZO6cool is always in drag....speaking of which - I cleared with Sylvia we can leave our cars/trailers there for the week with a waiver....if you are interested


David - I will definitely give my opinion on the new "track"...

I ordered 2 new sets from Carbo yesterday and sent an email for a TT contingency for NASA-SE...
