OK, I think I might be good-to-go without all the paddock heroics. Left the car in capable professional hands today.

I have a coplete assembly here in Norfolk, you could get this weekend. Only 2 or3 hours from here to Raliegh. Hell you could bring it up and put it on the lift and have it changed in an hour or two.
Thanks for the offer, Rick. The shop that did the original welding is helping me sort it out. Good guys. I think I will be all set. If the shoo-diddly-diddly hits the fan, though, itâs nice to have options. Thanks!

Supposed to get down to 26*, whatâs the thought on using glycol or not? HATE to even think about it, but donât want the engine to freeze, either.
or keep a shop light plugged in under the hood all nightâŚor you can shovel some hot coals onto a metal trash can lid and slide it under the oil panâŚheating pad under the hoodâŚ12v truckers heater aimed at the oil pan.
YMMV, dont burn your car down but also dont dump anti freeze on the trackâŚ

Regrettably I have to bail for the weekend after all. Car would likely be ready in time, but just got some work assignments due next week that will have me working over the weekend to complete. Good luck and have fun!
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone. Had a blast it was great meeting everyone. See ya in March.
Good weekend, mostly due to the hospitality of the coferâs and DrivegearâŚdid not really turn a lap until the last race Sunday because I slept in both daysâŚdid my fastest lap on the last lapâŚwill take a 2.22.0 with my old tires and e motor, hope to have a spec e30 for the next eventâŚ

Where can I see results?[/quote]
Great seeing everyone again. The Coferâs were life saversâŚliterally. Not only did they let us hang out in the warm RV, but the fed us too! Thank you both. Also a big thanks to DriveGear and Rick Mariani for the firewood and a warm trailer to sleep in.
Saturday conditions were pretty tricky in the snow/rain. Luckily none of our guys bent any metal.
Sunday was dry but wicked cold and very windy. I had a good battle with Harper for a few laps but was eventually able to pull enough of a lead that he couldnât draft up on me on the back straight.
Here is my video from Saturdayâs snow race, Sunday will be up shortly.
My first NASA-MA race at VIR was a blast. I skipped qualifying due to icy roads from Cary to VIR, but made it up for the Sun afternoon race. I started near the back of the 1st wave and managed to finish 5th.
