Re: cheap car racing

Thanks. I only learned I would be doing this at noon that day. Fred from Nelson Ledges was asked and he said he was not available then suggested me. It was enough time to shake off the rust on some of the details. Obviously the team, the car and Nelson Ledges are subjects I’m quite familiar with so ...

Re: 2017 Dodge Challenger SXT - Mostmint #45

Finish cleaning up the interior floor – the car was gross with spilled soda, and food/trash everywhere. Removed the dash, steering column, gas pedal, brake pedal, and ebrake assembly. Trimmed off part of the firewall insulation on the inside as I want to see what is bent. The hole in the firewall fo...

Up tonight is VIR: https://www.youtube.com/live/i7YJWngwP-A?si=tiHMMzCpCDILpmmm Race 6 summary: Sonoma is a track I like, though I qualified .5 slower than I practiced, netting P21 starting position. About 5 laps in I got punted in T11 which didn't ruin the car but it put me back to dead last, thoug...

Up tonight is Sonoma: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3DvoWJZFlw Race 5 summary: Daytona yielded an OK result, not a great result. I lost some time in the early going as I was dodging spinning cars, then I got stuck in a pack with 2 guys who were not fast but fast enough to use the draft to get ahe...

Re: 2017 Dodge Challenger SXT - Mostmint #45

Not much activity the past couple weeks. The main progress is acquiring a frame machine. Started doing research on this machine. It appears to be a very early version, and it is missing chain, and the cross brace tube. IMG_0330.JPG IMG_0286.JPG I now understand the basics of what chain to get, I hav...

Re: Porsche 944 Megasquirt conversion

That bracket was in use to get a crank signal in the time that was left. Now there will be time to get the signal right from the top mount location Dave mentions. If that fails that entire bracket needs redesigned. If you look closely there is a mark just at left of photo. If that bracket went strai...

I didn’t think to photograph the hole but Scott had this view of the inside. Bonus pic is the CPS bracket right after it cracked

Re: iRacing Spec5 World Tour

Mosport is one of my favorite tracks - similar to Nelson in that it has a lot of high speed corners and is easy on brakes. Once again I messed up laps 3 and 4 of qualifying and ended up P29 of 30 on the grid. The tires don't really come in well until lap 3 so pretty much missed my best two chances f...
