Direct quote from Brett concerning the BITS:

"I get paid that Friday, so food and gas and everything won't be a concern."

"everything" means "everything", right Brett?

That crash test dummy drives like Holly on Mountain Day! Nice work Crit!

I may be interested. Possibly could have another. I wouldn't count on Jeff. How many spots you got?

17th, right?

I guess you've got me, Ray. I'll need some reimbursement forms from each of you upon arrival at the BITS meeting, along with a copy of your drivers license, social security card, credit card number... Then you all will get your reimbursements for gas and food on a prepaid debit card in 30-90 days.

How's that all sound?

Ray, we need another Mountain Day, but this time you will be behind me, watching my RX-9 take the curves.

Brett, I will attend you B-BITS on July 31st. I will bring some food too.

Same here. I don't get it. Who's on their original engine in an FC, anyway? Brett? no. Collin? no. Colin, maybe?

Yep. Just another FC with aftermarket wheels and motor mounts



Holly, aren't RX-9's too big for Mountain Runs? With all those extra doors and back seats and stuff, isn't it a little sloppy in the turns?

Brett, bring on the B-BITS!

And check this out, if you are getting tired of the FC repairs:

Actually, I'm still on my first motor in Wanda.. Grace was on her original motor until 209,000 when Austin pulled it out with bad oil control rings (but it still ran fine)..

Any one thinking about going to the "Two Seats Only Charity Poker Run JULY 17,2010"???

Its at Road Atlanta and its being put on by the Georgia Fiero Club.

If your vehicle is designed for two passengers only, or has one of those unusable rear seats, you’re invited to join us on Saturday, July 17, for the Georgia Fiero Club’s Two Seat Only Poker Run. The run will start at the Gwinnet County Airport - Briscoe Field, and end at Road Atlanta, where you will have the opportunity to view the 2010 SCCA Regional.

Well to all that say FB's don't spontaniously catch fire,.. I will have pics that prove otherwise shortly. My FB decided to catch fire while on the Blue Ridge Parkway today. Stu was driving it at the time on our return trip from grabbing my FD. Stu and I were uninjured except for a nice burn on my hand from grabbing a boiling hood.But all is well.

I noticed fluid running up the hood like the radiator had popped a leak. When we stopped at the next overlook, it said POOOF!! And the enginebay and hood were in a ball of flames.

A well timed park ranger came around the corner and aided us.

She gave Stu a Fire Extinguisher to use. He ran up and tried to dispense it. However it had NO charge to it at all. ( A FULL bottle, just no pressure to use it) So I grabbed her drinking water cooler and was able to put the fire out with less than a gallon of water from the cooler and 2 1/4 bottles of water.

Lots to replace but nothing to bad. Worst part is is destroyed all the nice paintwork I had done to it. Bubbled it all off. Damn flames!!!

Lesson learned...? Even though the lines are new doesn't mean they won't burst. I think the return line is the culprit of my fire. The 12A was still running strong even when on fire Ray!! You should be proud.

FB's don't spontaneously catch fire, unless you put a filter in the engine bay. You got a video of that event Dave? Or at least some pics?

And yes, 12A's don't really care about fires. They just keep zooming.
