SW Mich Autocross/Meet Event June 27th
Damn, sounds like some serious damage!
I won't be able to make it to this auto-x unfortunately, just too much other stuff and a car that won't be ready. I un-registered, so if anyone else is waiting in the wings, now's the opportunity to grab a spot!

We're going to the reception too, so we'll be there until late in the night.
dj55b: Sorry to hear about your car. Take it easy so your talent doesn't run out before the car's capabilities.
orion84gsl: Do you have a second car? Drive it over and we can find a car (you can drive mine) for you to drive.

I do, but it's being lent to my sister, so taking it isn't really an option. I probably won't be making this one. I'm home now and can't afford to sit at home for 6 days. The next couple days will be devoted to trying desperately to get the 7 running and then it's back to work. Gotta pay the bills, which is getting harder the more time I spend screwing with the car.

I had to drive to work today in the middle of a thunderstorm, pouring rain.
Having actual tread on the tires makes quite a difference!
Now I just have to try to get a few hundred miles on them before the race, to break them in. I just read an article about the release lubricants tire manufacturers use, and how they will effect performance until worn off (they recommend at least 500 miles).
What a drag, I actually have to drive my car! lol.

That won't be happening. I've been taking too much time off trying to get the car running and the paychecks are started to suffer. I need to go back to work so I can get caught up.
P.S, car still ain't runnin.

car is fully driveable now! as long as nothing stupid happens in the next couple of days, I'll be there. still need to figure out how to mount my fan and what not.
lol, I'll try not too. I still need to finish my fan install, close up all the gaps to the radiator, go for a good highway run for testing purposes, do a bit more tuning, then ill be ready to come down. ill most likely be at your place Sunday evening sometime.
