Thanks guys. I'm going to go back for sure. Maybe I'll actually race next time. I just had to see what it would run. Tried an Autocross today. It was at the parking lot of the old Geauga Lake Amusement Park. The car worked great...at least as far as mechanical problems. I need to put in the 6 cylind...

After posting some info about my 1/4 mile runs on a vw site, some of the guys were surprised to see that I only ran a 14.6! One guy ran 94 mph at 2900lbs. Im at 2380 lbs. Another said I should be 13.9 @100 "with a lightweight mk2" and my average 146.33 psi compression ratio before the HG u...

On Sunday, I met up with Tiresmoker and his father at Mid-Ohio. The weather was perfect. Dave and his Dad in there '63 Vette. I went in the VR. I had a great time. All sorts of great cars to see, old and new - foreign and domestic - street and full race. Something for everyone's tastes. The 3 of us ...

I'll get some video up when I can figure out some editing bugs. Ran it at TRP Wed. evening. I just did 3 time runs - no racing. Best was the 3rd run. Launch felt perfect on that one. 98 degrees according to my cars temp gauge, which reads high so.. probably low 90's. Best - 14.63 @ 93.84. 60' = 2.19...

Start up or running video? Ill try to get something up soon. I drove it to work a few times. It runs real good. Tiresmoker say's it feels like a 14 sec. car when we went for a spin on Sunday. That was before I replaced the clogging fuel filter on Wednesday. It didnt start right up like normal. I su...

getting closer.
hopefully Start up today.

Also, what's leftover in the bucket when you're done? Or in your case, how did you get the junk out of your block? -Dave The only stuff left in my block was the typical antifreeze/water, whitish mineral deposits (under that probably more rust). The evapo- rust turned darker in color (contaminants ?...

Thats cool. All that hard work, I bet it feels good to win those. Congrats!

http://www.evapo-rust.com/ I used this stuff on my water jacket in my engine block with great results. It doesn't smell strong or bad. Also safe around non-ferrous materials like plastics and rubber. Its also reusable. For how many times though.... I'm not sure?? http://i728.photobucket.com/albums/w...

Got it back in last weekend 5/20/12 http://i728.photobucket.com/albums/ww281/skulldog2/100_1725.jpg Went with a composite valve cover to try to lower intake manifold temps. http://i728.photobucket.com/albums/ww281/skulldog2/100_1659.jpg The arrow on the sprocket should be at 12 o'clock or 6. The 1/2...

I like it

Yes, Molly and I went on Saturday. There was about 60 cars, according to the guy at the gate. It was hard to hear the announcer (we were by the last turn, 13 ? I think) but he said John Heinricy was racing! This was the last group to go out which were the GT1's 2's and something else. The track was ...

Those are neat. I was thinking of something similar ...well kind of... imagine looking at a tire from the side and instead of "goodyear" it would say tiresmoke with the same font as goodyears.

This weekend 5/25 and 5/26 http://www.mvrscca.org/events/2012doubl ... hedule.pdf
Mol and I will probably go for 1 day
