I just need to do a little tweaking w the Jetting on the 2.0L.
The tow vehicle gets out of body shop Monday.
Looking forward to this event, weather should be great.
with all the rain I am assuming the infield part of the track will be both green and dirty. Who's in? Whos not?

I suspect Chris will call sometime this weekend, as the curiousity is killing him, too...(and he's got the engine)

cheers

No Fat Lotus next weekend: off in Philadelphia watching my 16 year old compete for the national Junior Squash Championship (yes, its a type of vegetable . . . ).

I guess the only guys who are happy about that are Wilkins, Crane and Mendelovitz, who will now each move up a spot. (Run and hide).

See you at Willow and Laguna.

Is everybody up to min weight required by the new rules now?

Got my lead ballast fully secured bringing the #12 car up to 1926 lbs with almost no fuel left so I'm legal coming off the track at the end of the session.

Also got my motor back in and fired up last night.

Looking forward to racing.

I am legal too, when we weighed in last year at Fontana I weighed 1936.
I am a little heavier this year (a couple of pounds) due to a glass windshield.

I'll be there on Thursday afternoon. We should all pit in the back where we normally do. Anyone know the price of race gas at the track?

Side note: If anyone needs Brad Penn 20/50 oil, I have some room in the trailer for a few cases I can bring down. $50/case (cash) for my Porsche buddies. Non buddies pay double Smile

I paid $7.50 at Porterfield yesterday...ouch. Filling the tow vehicle was just as painful. New Hoosiers....yikes. Will be there around 2:00pm, rented a garage.
