Cant wait to finally be joining you guys!! :woohoo:


#5

Just registered Stoops and Issa. Clark will also be there. I’m working with Trey Cook (who’s signed up for Comp School) to rent Reiney’s car for the weekend. Lalo Paez will do comp school, but his car will not be ready for Rd Atl. Ken Bain’s car will be ready, not sure still if he can make it. Should be a good one!!!


#6

Let’s double up in racing guys, register in PTE in lightning for an extra $250, we wait too long between races, might as well make it count!!

Aaron will be signed up by the end of the week. Assuming he passes his Comp School, he will be there.


#9

Trey Cook is with us, he’ll be running Hector’s car. They might be sharing this season, since Hector is always out of town. Clark will sign up today. And as soon Ken Bains finds a car he can rent, he’ll be in.


#10

Wish I could make this event. I’ll be watching from the sidelines… I’m signed up as a corner flagger. Don’t make me call your number in to race control! I’m going snowboarding in Colorado the week after this and just can’t afford both hobbies back to back!


#11

I’m registered for SE30 and PTE. You guys and gals need to stop being weak and double down for twice as much racing.


#12

Just registered…it’s been too long.


#13

I used to have that problem…not this year though, you ought to try NASTAR racing while out there, they have computer timing/rankings…worst thing is you have to run ski gates. You can race 2 or 3 days and get a national ranking. Not too many people racing boards on specialized equipment either…

Nope. Still planning to make Roebling though.


#15

Has everyone seen the new pavement in 1 & 10 ?

New pavement at T10 throws you off a bit the first 2 laps, no big changes as far as I could tell. At T1, it is just smoother, feels better, and I believe there’s more grip at the apex, or at least you feel more confident w/0 that patch that they had.! Can’t wait muchachos!


#17

He’s baaacck. Just signed up - woo-hoo! :woohoo:
BTW, does anybody have one of those little stamped retainer rings that keeps the big rear axle nut from coming loose? I dinged mine up pretty badly replacing the axle and don’t completely trust it.

–Fred[/quote]I think I do, but only because I replaced the axle and didn’t install the little stamped retainer ring thingy. Corrosion has been my friend and it hasn’t come apart yet. Anyway, it’s all yours if I can find it.


#19

Hey, I don’t hear THAT very often… :laugh:

Thanks Chuck!


#20

Fred, forget the ring, too hard to remove at a later date.

Put paint mark on the big nut. Monitor for looseness. Hint: it won’t get loose.
