Bummer, I'm sure with all the guys we can scare up a starter? OK who has a starter....


Sitting in Sacramento on my way to Seattle..... See everyone in a week!
 
Starter SHOULD get here next thursday.... valvespring tool on monday hopefully! cutting it a little close! aw who cares my truck is just a slow 5spd haha
 
Maybe we can all have a Caravan from Whittmann to Anaheim ;)



Yup, I am heading down I-5 (probably going to cut over near Bakersfield). If anyone is on the road and wondering if I am close, try calling my cell phone 503-407-1388. Does anyone on here use CBs anymore? I just use a portable unit in my truck (so the range is crappy). Somewhere I have a magnet mount antenna and adapter for it, I'll have to see if I can find it. Back in the old days when I towed up and down the West coast for races, we always convoyed and chatted on our CBs to stay awake. Tired racers say the funniest stuff on the CB ;)

We live near Anaheim (let us know if you go to Disneyland, weare doing the annual pass thing) and will be headed out Friday morning- I'd definatley cross over at Bakerstucky and miss LA if possible.

Not sure what im doin, guess it sounds like I should go bakersville
 
If you don't cross over 58 you don't want to hit the vine and be stuck in traffic from about 3 on. It really sucks.

Well, if you wanna leave at the same time and go as a team im game...
Do you have a cb mike?
 
Have not really figured out when or whats going on yet. I should do that it's getting close
 
Oh yeah. New schedual is posted at work and I don't have to work Friday or sat. So I can make the race.
 
Ok it's not really work it's more like stand around for 6 hours aday lol so you going to make it to the race still ?
 
thursday at some point I think. They have the trans out right now felt it was a good idea to get away from a stock tranny with converter and input and output shafts.

Sound like a good idea... hopefully I make it through the event with these even bigger injectors, lol... Joe said he has room on his trailer though if I dont...
But I am trying to be a bit more POSITIVE! lol, considering my tranny shifts great now and has actually never had any problems what so ever..
 
Funny mike:hehe:

so any idea when you may leave redding to come down here for the race??

I think im leavin around 4ish... wanted to leave at 2, but that puts us in SF/Sac right around rush hour... So probably leavin around 4 then gettin a hotel where ever I get tired
