Me too! This has to be one of my busiest springs ever. I did get an hour Sat eve to work on balancing my carbs and start to get it back together from setting up my variable pressure return regulator fuel system... 1 mile test run is all I've done so far! Image Unavailable, Please Login
Bill...the atmospheric pressure just changed, time to go balance the carbs again. LOL! Just one reason to love fuel injection.
Wanted to bump this thread for the weekend. At some point I'm going to take it off "Sticky" so you guys will have to bump it up to give it attention after that. I hope having it at the top has helped get the awareness out! I won't be down this weekend or next, but maybe after that.... JIM
Morning weather was not looking friendly and that lead to a light turnout. Weather improved quickly, so those in doubt missed a pleasant morning. A couple of us headed out to ORP for the big SCCA Regional on the road course. Lots of race cars of all classes. Later in the day, I spotted all sorts of cars out and about. We'll hope for better weather next time.
I know several folks that normally show up were doing the Mini. I suppose with all the Speedway activities, peoiple will be distractedt this month. Too much to do. This coming Satruday is Pole Day out at the Speedway. I hope to stop by for a few on my way to the track.
SATURDAY, MAY 9TH! Weather is looking to be nice with a high of 69 degrees. I plan on stopping by prior to heading to the Speedway for Pole Day! And before anyone asks....No, I did not finish the engine rebuild, but I did get a lot of yardwork and other things done...and yes, you are of course in justified in giving me additional grief Sat for not having the car ready this weekend as promised.
We'll be heading down to the track for Pole Day before C & C so we'll have to miss this week. I would have totally enjoyed giving you crap about the Z not being fixed - post pictures of your yard at least to show the fruits of your labor!
Bill...we'll be pretty much at the start/finish, upper level, the entire afternoon. Looks to be a perfect day at the Speedway!!! Oh, no one wants to look at, or smell, 10-12 yards of freshly spread mulch, so no yard pics. LOL! I'll PM you my cell. If you get my VM, don't worry, I'll be listening to the scanner. I'll call back after I figure out the cell technology. LOL!
Bump for Saturday, May 16th! I'm personally going to miss this one due to a conflict. Someone take pics!
I'm actually going to miss this one. I came down with a bad case of the Bovine Cold instead of the Swine Flu. I had to cancel out on the engine install yesterday due to fever and what not. I must finish it before the May 23rd C&C.
Weather permitting I will be there. If weather is crappy I might still swing by in the Non-Exotic to see who is there.
In Philly right now and flying back tomorrow morning. With an impending move (locally), I probably won't be able to make it for a few weeks. TAKE PICS!!
My daughter was one of 15 selected in her school for the "Young Authors" conference tomorrow at 8am. Sorry, won't make it...maybe next week. take pics!!! JIM
Left the house in a mild rain, but hopeful that 2 hrs north it would be dry. Well, so much for hopeful... A few brave souls anyway. Oh, also, the 308 started running on 4 cylinders Thursday, so Mrs SMS said we'll just take her 4 cyl. A few cruised thru to look, and a 348 drove by. Later in the day it was beautiful, dry and sunny, just a few hours late. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
The Little Yella Fella is back! Hate I missed the MG live. I'll catch that one day. If all goes well Tues, the motor will be back in and I'LL have eh car at the next C&C.
I saw a gray Elise in the airport parking garage for sale last week. Never seen a gray one up close before, and its absolutely stunning.
Saturday, May 23rd - Indy 500 Weekend! Weather is looking to be perfect this coming weekend. We should work to get a really nice turnout for this one. I dropped the motor back in my car today. Just a few more things to do tomorrow and I'll turn the key and see what happens. Looking good for being able to DRIVE it to C&C this weekend!!! WoooHooo!
Eh tried to take it out to a local car meet today and the battery is dead. I don't think I will be able to make it. Horrible luck.
