Well, the weather forecast for Willow CA shows rain on Saturday. I spent a fair penny on the 200tw Continentals and Apex wheels... and will likely use the old ones

I know, I know, 340 tread wear is laughable but it's supposed to rain all day Saturday and most of Sunday. I'll use the Connies later and in July in Portland... now I just have to make it to Willow - and honestly, that's not likely going to be a problem - it's supposed to be nice tomorrow through Friday (yeah).

I'll pull the car out tomorrow and also figure how to keep water out of the intake...

I'd be faster in the dry with the 200tw tires, but these give me a better chance on staying on the track when it rains...only time will tell if it was a good move.

loaded and ready for adventure... fun fact, less rain - maybe even no rain... ah well

Adventure pictures

I admit that this was hamming for the camera.... not that anyone else would ever do such juvenile things (though I wish he'd gotten the end where I punted a cone about 40 feet)

In the wet - had it totally stayed wet, I probably would have done pretty well

up a steep hill, a blind left corner, then a blind right sweeper.... I went off this corner... pretty sure I was airborne

thanks. the photographer is well worth the little he charges for pictures.

it arrived

and put the old wing back on
https://i.imgur.com/j9QNqfjh.jpg
did an oil change
https://i.imgur.com/Ba6sZ4gh.jpg
oil looked okay and the spark plugs showed a touch rich and that I might be able to add a degree of timing... but at this point, it's safe so since I'm changing the entire fuel and spark system next.... I'll leave it for now.
I'm pretty close to doing the port EFI swap. Need a few parts, order them tomorrow.
