Re: 1971 El Camino

"really nice" is a relative term. So many people don't sweat the details.

Re: iRacing Spec5 World Tour

Nordschleife was lightly attended - 18 cars. Qualified the best lap time I have so far at this track - at a little less than 8 seconds behind the leader which got me a P15 start. The last two laps were fairly intense as one of the faster drivers was closing in and Tom Athon was ahead with a littel a...

Nice. Class M helmet. First time out you’ll be able to get a lot of passes to get used to it and work your way up to its capabilities

Re: iRacing Spec5 World Tour

Road Atlanta: I qualified decent and several people had problems qualifying and early on which allowed me to stay close to my P12 qualifying for most of the race. I was leading open class for a good bit of the time. Josh got ahead of me and into 10a-10b he was a little sideways and I lost focus on m...

If you need to save weight, there are methods to baffle the tanks to keep the fuel at the pick up.

Re: iRacing Spec5 World Tour

Lately I cannot qualify my way out of a paper bag. Started P20 of 23. Was able to get in draft of some faster guys that went off early and was working my way up until I double downshifted on lap 6 or 7. It ran enough to limp back to the pits where I used the 1 fast repair to get back on track. IT wa...

Re: 1979 Malibu

Pretty sure the extra fan is not going to do it - time will tell. Also what is the thermostat - 180? Looking at how that bracket is mounted, I'm going to guess the problem is the bolt holes are slotted and its moving just a little bit. Next guess is the bracket is not sturdy enough. I suppose it is ...

Re: iRacing Spec5 World Tour

Up next: Phillip Island https://www.youtube.com/live/oBw5Lr5fTTQ?si=0T-pgpm Road America: Poor qualifying again put me starting P25 of 27. Got into a draft chain with several cars but two of them didn't understand how to stay in line. I used pit strategy to get ahead of all of them (4th fastest of t...

Yes. Made that possible when I moved it there earlier in the day, and showed him before we went on air. :wink:

Re: iRacing Spec5 World Tour

At VIR I did not have a great qualifying effort again, and even though I spent extra time prepping I did not get a significant pace improvement. With 22 cars on the grid I started P20. There was melee lap 1 turn 1 and I attempted to go around in the grass. It didnt save me any time but I tagged the ...

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...
