The headers wore thru, cracked developed in Texas so shes running waaaaay rich. Hooker headers i put on it (via what i saw at SEMA last year) hung bout an inch/inch and half lower that what they had on their display....So middies are on there way. Went from 24 mpg highway to 16 and no power....

I hope you didn't glaze the cylinders....


You'll have to watch for excessive oil use now...

Great day at the track on Saturday. The new two mile section of the track is very technical and pretty tight. Due to the elevation changes with blind turns on the new portion of the track it is way easier to run in a lead/follow format with someone in front of you that knows the track well.
I really enjoyed it and it reminded me of driving down a windy mountain road only on this mountain road it was legal to put the pedal to the metal and hammer through the sweepers.

My first time on that new section of track. Not much fun at first until you start to get it memorized. Very tight turns that really make me wish I had power steering in my Shelby. Chet killed two power steering pumps and I suspect it was the new section of track.

Glad I made the drive down for Sundays action, bummer I missed out on meeting Ron and Charlie....maybe next time. I worked with Chet on his ps issues, him and his wife are great people, a mad man behind the wheel! Complete blast riding shotgun for the laps he was able to put in before the flag came out.

First time for me at Thunderhill. I loved the entire track! Two totally different courses that connect well and challenge any level of driving skill.

You rode with Chet!

J/K Chet and his wife are great people, and yes the mild mannered man can wheel that pony......when it isn't broken!

How were T5 & T9 riding shotgun?

The up and overs, the blind drops, the, "oh **** what have I gotten myself into" turns? LOVED EM! I think my feet came off the floorboard! I liked 9 more just because of the approach. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems 5 is a lift, roll through and power down the backside deal. 9, the car is angry and violent, bangin gears and heavy on the throttle. Both the car and driver are really working, the banked turns are a rush!

I thought 14-15 were sketchy as a passenger. It's the fastest part of the track with heavy braking...you just gotta trust the equipment and the guy behind the wheel, that's what I was telling myself anyways!

Lots of fun!
