NitroSpazzz posted:It was one hell of a ride but honestly pretty drat gentle for what it was. Could have ended up a lot worse, I'm just happy I didn't take any one else out with my mistake. That could have been a lot worse. Glad you are ok! Were you guys "Lowered Expectations" ? I recognized that as a goon name. I was crew chief for #378 Low Farm Racing (near bone stock blue '86 Mr2)

Some of the Sheep posted:I like the clown in the rear view at 13:20. That's at the carousel. The explanation I heard from our council and vscda drivers was this: on it, and have to lift, you're hosed because the forces on the car will pull you out or spin you. 3rd gear and 30-50% throttle.

Hope WRL gets a Road America date some time soon. I'm sure we'd be there. The Double 7 was a great experience. Communicating with the event staff was pretty nice. Website... eh it's poo poo trying to get a car reg'd.

For those of you that saw our MR2 run at Road America in October of 2014 you may have noted how slow 130k mile 1500cc MK1 MR2 can be. BEAMS will hopefully be ready for April. PM if you want to show up and say Hi at the Low Farm pit so I know what Fedora and Trench-coat combo you may be wearing. Typically with us if you introduce yourself and need help with something (parts, welding, oh shits!) we will see what we can do.

Eeked out 50 laps on Sunday with a 2.1gpm 12v ag sprayer pump. You don't wear a Red Bull T with Nepalese writing on it do you?

Anyone doing the CHUMP race this weekend want to share a pit stall with us? It appears we have to double up.

NitroSpazzz posted:Depends on the track, some will beat the poo poo out of you and the car while others are just a gentle rumble. I'd think floating the inside wheels over one would have a pretty minimal impact but running wide over bad ones (Road America) will absolutely punish you. Speaking of road America - going to be there this weekend? I won't be driving; just running crew again - wife wants a new kitchen. #378 Low Farm Racing - stop by, ask for Zak.

User Error posted:I'll be there, #87 e36. It's looking like we'll get perfect racing weather. I'm pretty confident that we won't have so many stupid mechanical issues this time. I did a bunch of preventative maintenance over the winter. We also have good shocks and a functional muffler now. "e36" or e36 at RA... we'll be waving to you, as you continue to lap us.

Our go pro got to record 4 hours of video out the back of a trailer this weekend after 12 laps. Yeah to blown motors! Details: 97 Beams red top. The VVTI cam trigger walked off the end of the crank and went for a little ride around the top end. Skipped 3 teeth on timing and pushed over rounded out the pin that locks into the back of the cam phaser. No bent valves or marred pistons that were detectable. Drill bit shank is the new pin, cut a bit longer. Reset timing and put head back together. Put it back in and test fire motor where all appears to be good we just know we don't have VVTi. We get 15 or so laps in on Sunday and phaser walks out of timing again. Oh well. Better luck next year with a new motor.
