It's not gonna happen. I've got 12+ hours into this problem and I'm burnt out. I hate that I can't go but on monday I'm gonna start going after the flywheel and cams to make sure they aren't "walking". With a perspective problem like that a 12 hour drive isn't smart. I guess this will give me time to get my seats and gauge pod done by next year laugh.gif

Your track record suggests you won't have the car next year. smile.gif

Michelle here - too lazy to log out as Chris. He is working tonight late, no idea when he will be home. The same plan is fine. Call me on my cell if you want to do somehting different and I'll let him and Grae know. You should have my cell anyway, just in case.

In Sacramento, no tickets on the drive down, but cops out everywhere, especially in Washington.

George,

Just wanted to say a BIG THANKS for all your effort and support on helping make the Davis day a great event and fun time for myself and Grae, my co-pilot. Going down to Cali, I wasn't sure what to expect, but we had a great time none the less. Thanks for using your hookups on the hotel rooms, and showing us around., Tracking on 850 wagon on Thiunderhill was pretty surreal. Thanks again.

No problem. I like getting people to go down to this and if I can make it financially easier with my discounts, so much the better. smile.gif Sorry about the quality of the hotel in Sacramento. I had never stayed there before and won't be returning to it again. I was in a different hotel last year, but couldn't get a discount for the weekend at that one this time. The other 2 hotels were much better. smile.gif

Hope you had a great time at TH. Grae riding in the R8 was probably worth the trip alone. smile.gif
Not sure how I am going to remove that extra rubber the rear tires picked up. Only looked at one video so far, but it seems ok. I will have to edit and post it up on youtube soon.

We made pretty good time coming back. I dropped Carson off at his house before 4:30.

I would like to drive down in November if they have the track day again, but probably won't know if I can or not until October.

Currently editing my in-car video right now. smile.gif I should have at least the first one up tonight.

I only have a few photos of the track day that were taken out at the front straight wall.
