Quicksilvers

Sounds very nice congrats!

Well my heads are back (I had them checked spin and seal tested at MA Motorsports)

I think I can finally trust them to be right (of course I said that twice before)

Z1 is telling me another MONTH for the short block...

I blew the car up on May 31st a year ago and have been working non stop to get it rebuilt since then.

I am beginning to despair.

It will easily be end of June before I’m back together.

Ug.

Don’t hold your breath hell may freeze over first.

Type 65 is coming along. I’ve aligned, and modded exhaust hangers yesterday. Today is corner weights and finish exhaust. Body is out for paint!

Built up some race experience running a pair of Fieros at a 25 hour Lemon race!!


Tons of fun. (The fieros broke a few times but did pretty well!!)

Jdtodd participates in those and says the same thing. He says they are a blast and you get tons of track time.

Also, a good friend of mine did the 1 lap of America and he said his new favorite track is High Plains. He said it was a lot of fun, both fast and technical.

Check 1.20:30 for some sweet (admittedly unintentional) fiero drifting and the end for some less sweet hub failure...

Ask around. They are happening all over the country all summer. Some of the teams always seem to need an extra driver or two and for a couple hundred bucks you can usually buy your way in to the team. It takes about 4-6 guys to comfortably run a 24 and invariably someone drops out at the last minute.

If you’ve done some track days that is usually all the experience you need.

That’s how I got on my teams...
