He said it was a blast. I'm sure you remember the olds achieva. He said that they were knocking down the best lap times but DNF'd due to mechanical probs.

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/drink.gif) My friends with the E30 BMW weren't so fortunate, they went in for a driver change and the car wouldn't fire, it turns out they had a problem with the Motronic or some relays. They vowed to go back next year though. I'm even thinking about getting together with some friends to field a team next year, it sounds like an absolute blast! |

They wound up driving the 5 series of the team next to them I think. I wound up helping a team of college kids with a 1991 Camaro (TBI/5speed). We got their tire pressures fixed, corrected their overheating/temp issues (the panel that "blew down" on my car, was dragging under theirs), then they bent the tie rod attachment points on both spindles, and we cut and sectioned the tie rods and welded them back together so we could get the toe back to something normal and put them back out. It was a riot!!!! Oh, and 24 hours is a long, long time..... |

Very long time. Kevin did great, helping many teams in the pits with tools, help and a hand when needed. During the race he only pounded out dents and kicked mufflers off the race car. Before the race was another story!

We did a 4 tire and fuel pit stop in about 3 minutes with two floor jacks (one per side) and two guys on tires (one per end). I did kick the exhaust off of the car making it about a 45 second pit stop and not a 5 minute one while I found tools to do the job correctly. |

I had to tow the car to work today so I can drop it off tonight (if we can figure out where it's going). I put a box over the bunnies and taped it to the roof just in case I'd offend someone (since I'm a contractor here). |
