I'm with Tyler, the car is at my dads shop in Marshalltown. Given it is still there and the highways out of town are open again I plan on going.

As long as I can keep my sanity whilst working on my car, my car comes together and my car holds together (in that order) I plan on making it.

A boosh light I might very well partake in. Might get crazy. Have two. Who knows.

Run a 9, take my pants off. See what happens.

Is there any racing during the day? It looks to just be a midnight event. Which I would normally abstain from. I just need to get a few passes in the car.

Appears that they will be running during the day as well. I would rather get a few passes in during the day as well and head back.

Casey hows the Stang running? Did you ever get some tuning done on it? I remember a while back you were looking to get some tuning done with Bob Kurgan and since hes moved out of here wasn't sure if you ever found anyone.

c_mart_28
05-29-2013, 12:28 PM
It's finally almost back together, actually. Right prior to Kurgan being in town it developed a nasty issue under load that didn't seem tune related. Got the blower off only to fund a minor vac leak and a tear in the intake manifold gasket. I'm hoping to have it on the road this weekend. We'll see...

With the proefi I've only had Chris Moore tune it. Because of various mechanical issues, results have been disappointing so far.

I might go to this, not sure if I would do the day or night event, but no camping for me since I have to be back in Des Moines on Sunday for fathers day. I need some practice runs in before BIR the following weekend (since I suck at drag racing).
What time is the group from Des Moines heading over there?

Red car started tonight! Had a pretty serious fuel leak in the very worst possible spot but my good friend.Kelly took care of that with a crazy mixer of a crows foot adapter and several various swivels. Thought for sure I was going to have to pull the blower again. I didn't have to. So I've got that going for me..

Car started, idled smooth and didn't puke any fluids. Seemed to pull solid and steady vacuum. Hope to have it on the road this weekend.

I make it sound like I've accomplished so much..I replaced the intake manifold gaskets and a few vacuum leaks. Compared to all you guys I'm amateur hour.

Ha! You are talking to the wrong guy. I am nowhere near some of these other guys here as far as baller status goes. Remember, I have a $200 transmission and a whiny 10 bolt still! Thinking the rear end may be on order though soon...;)

Probably just go with a Moser from Brute Speed. Don't want to wait 6 months for a MWC and the Moser will be a bit cheaper all said and done.

Mine just came from Quick in Ames. I have no complaints other than you gotta make sure you get everything you wanted before you leave. They sent me out the door with the wrong brakes and lugnuts, but gave me the right stuff with no issues. It's a tad cheaper, but built just as good as the Moser. Even comes standard with LCA relocation brackets installed, whereas I believe Moser wants $75. Housing and axle package is $995.

Is the track pretty strict on the helmet rules? I don't have one. If they are where is a good place to purchase one at a reasonable price?

I'm sure they will make sure you have one. Last year they even checked SNELL ratings. Mine is out of date, but they've let me run. Need to upgrade.

Unsure if I'll be making it up or not, if so I usually bring my helmet incase someone needs one. It's snell & dot.

06-11-2013, 08:57 PM
Just picked me up one at Karl's. I got checked at EVille a couple weeks ago. I would make sure you have one. Aaron might have an extra, but I'd get one either way.

JustaGT
06-12-2013, 06:54 AM
Ill bring 2 up also. I have my old Simpson bandit that I know is snell approved for at least another 3 years that I will tech with. Then probably switch to my motorcycle helmet for comfort.
