Thank you.

I think it was either Tom Kammann or Richard Jung, and if it wasn't either of those two, they'll know who because they had there cars transported to Lincoln.

In the past some people from CA and AZ would get together and hire a truck to carrier several cars both ways. I think someone from the CA region organized it, but don't remember who now.

Which one do you think made more noise on throttle? The exhaust leak or this rod bearing? Both on cylinder #1.

Is there a good solution available to have a car and gear shipped to Nationals? I would enjoy a flight to Lincoln so much more than days of driving there and back ........

Wise words Scott. Thank you.

I suggest the course design created some very challenging spots that "encouraged" under-steer.😉 The last minute change to the finish added to that. It wasn't your tires, Dave......😂

Here is my best TO run at 37.280 on 4/28/24. It felt very sloppy and had a lot of turn-in and mid corner understeer all day. It might have been my worn tires. I changed pressure and it helped but still had a lot of understeer. Maybe it was the lower grip in Tucson vs Phoenix and I should have softened my front bar or firmed up my rear shocks. Either way, the car did pretty good though there were plenty of spots to clean things up. From the video I can see that I am still not looking ahead enough, still late on power, not trail braking enough, not smooth enough, etc. etc. Having video with data is proving to be helpful in seeing and understanding my driving flaws. If you see anything I should take a look at or think about, please let me know as I don't know what I don't know!!

Thank you!

Meant to avoid spam. You have to translate into the usual internet format…. i.e, use “@“ for “at”, and drop the dashes and spaces…… got it?

Hello, earlier this week I registered for the autocross event at Kino Stadium on Saturday, April 27th. Something has come up that prevents my participation. I have had to cancel my registration. Is it possible to get a refund or a credit for the next Saturday event?

Appreciate that, thank you.

Nice, love the new format seeing all of the data. I am jealous with the 59mph. VW stops me at 55mph with their rev limiter.

@herrenr The sticker on the helmet is awesome.

Good run Ron!

Shoot! I was so put off by all the loose bolts on this engine, the damaged crank, and the probable need for a rebuild... I never considered that some of those loose bolts might be causing the noise I was so concerned about. Removing #1 plug wire made the noise go away. #1 exhaust manifold bolts were loose. I inspected the exh manifold gasket tonight and tada! Evidence of an exhaust leak through the gasket at #1. (The dirty-looking end of the gasket in the pic) Hopefully that was the source of the sound (probably). I wish I had put 2 & 2 together before pulling the engine. I could have listened for the leak at the manifold with a stethoscope (yeah right, garden hose!) and confirmed the source of the noise 100%. Anyway, I'll double check all the crank bolt torques, mic and plastigage everything, check the new-used crank, have it ground if necessary, and reassemble with new bearings and gaskets. I suppose I can inspect the head, pistons, and potential leftover cylinder damage too. I'm still concerned whether loose-nut-larry missed/skippedanything during his rebuild haha.

To whom it may concern among the club... If y'all could take a look at my registration notes and shoot me an email - not sure how it shows up, but I register as OldGray320i (the car I believe I'll have out there, btw...). Holler

Agreed... Fun & fast... and with six runs too! Big kudos to ALL the organizers, steering committe & volunteers, what a great way to end the season!

Car details. 2007 Mustang Shelby GT white with silver stripe (Shelby number 5336) VIN 1ZVHT82H375360398, 28,400 miles, 3rd owner, clean Carfax, clean title in my name. There are some paint chips on the hood and front fenders that about to be touched up. The silver strip on the horizontal surfaces has fading, leaning more towards flat and less like satin. The factory Shaker 500 radio makes a clicking noise when the door is opened or the ignition is turned on. It goes away after a minute or so and the radio works fine. Otherwise the car is what you'd expect for a 28k mile garage queen. Car is located in Casa Grande, AZ 85194. I've had a great time driving this but I've come into some cash and am picking up a Cayman. Really don't need both, so this is up for sale.
