Just got back from a long day at EASTBAY MINI.
I got a new dipstick.They finally did the brake fluid change out.
Yes it was the slave cyl. on the clutch. it was leaking fluid. I probobly made a good chioce in not running on sunday.
But the bonus was i got both, yes both headlights replaced and when i got home i was checking them out and the new lens are plastic where my original ones were glass. hopefully this is a good change for break resistance.

"Rats nest......Rats Nest.....Rats-Nest" You're right, it has a certain ring to it.

What was going on with your clutch before you had taken it in today?

The more and more I think about it the more I think that tires were the most important thing on that track layout. My car really seemed to push on sunday. At first I thought it was because of brakes but Blake was running stock brakes. I think this is the first track that really put a premium on tires. But its more likely just a case of not knowing how to drive. Now I just have to wait for blake to make a jerk off comment and it will be confirmed that i suck ***.
It has nothing to do with brakes, power or tires. It has to do with driver ability. Having everything I have over your car would only be good for a second advantage, if that. You just need to practice more.The more and more I think about it the more I think that tires were the most important thing on that track layout. My car really seemed to push on sunday.

It was so nice that I DNF'd the first 2 times out....not just in 1 place...3 different places. Shoulda walked the track a 2nd time.... Helped alot to have the course designer ride with me the 3rd time or I would have been "5 for 5" DNF's. But even with my lack of brain cells.....It was a fun day (except for the bozo at the end).
