Here is a one a "friend" took at Sonoma last month




And the LS3 -there is an accusump as well



I thought we had moved past the "friend" stage, I'm your #1 fan!
Don't forget the list of "to do's" before heading out on track...Greg's buddy Andy had it taped to his steering wheel.
Ignition
Fans
ACCUSUMP
....you get it.

Did you ever get the details on the motor?

Hey Bash, I missed this. Yes I think we did graduate didn't we?

I did not get the details... John Griggs was/is looking for them... so all I know is LS3 with some kind of cam. It sounds healthy!

Yes the checklist was pretty much a fail at any given time that day.

Good on you for finally putting this up, Dave. Participation is everything, so long as what you're participating in is not so boring that you start having conversations with your passenger going full throttle around Thunderhill (what happens in cop car).

Now that I've said this, I can say that I've been doing my best to ignore my junk for a little while here, and you punks keep getting me all excited again . . .

Try not to overheat the thing again. My kart likes this so little that it blew its stupid little head gasket. My garage is mechanically desperate right now.

Oh, and what's with the Swiss cheese lightening efforts around all of that structural sheetmetal under the hood? The Boss 302 toughening guide suggests doing the exact opposite (looks like what they used to do to kids' BMX bikes in the old days for racing) . . .

See ------ here's a guy that can come in and snipe at Dave or I - or Rob - HE actually takes his days off and comes out to hang with us and give us crap face to face. Can't tell you how many times Paul has turned out just to bang on us.

Sorry to hear about the golf kart - er - I meant Go Kart.... hope it's just a simple gasket.

DAVE --- I remember Lillard telling me at the first driver meeting ''sit down -- don't talk - and don't raise your hand - and don't ask any questions". LOL

I think I have a video somewhere -- he's helping me get in the car -- telling me not to be a dumbass - to check my gauges - to take it easy - and then, of course - I hadn't put in the hood pins...... I think the video shows him flipping me off as he fixes that...

Greatest thing I ever did --- hire Ron to fix the car, and coach me, and make sure I don't do dumb things --- like he's always reminding me -- KEEP YOUR EYES UP etc -- and that stuff really helps!!
