Ummm...that would be a NO... They should be in Merced right about now...headed south. Lets just say it was a VERY wet day. But all the parts and pieces are still in the correct place's but really dirty. Might need to talk about some lower control arms...but we can discuss that later!! Cliff had "fun" ...but that's up to him to explain. Chris had a blast and was looking pretty good there at the end.
Photo's to be posted later....

The proper term is "rat's nest."

It was evidently on back-order from Alta. I believe they shipped it, but I don't see it on Brad's desk. Chris' brakes are here, though.

Sound's interesting. Maybe Cliff had an "off-track" adventure?

Lets just say I did a Steve Tech maneuver but there wasn't anybody to wavy to. (would you believe in turn 10 of all places) Chris was showing some real speed. Willum and I went to the third story tower to watch him on one of his last runs and his line was pretty darn spot on and he was passing and pulling away.I guess lighter wheels and better tires do make a difference.
We all had fun but this is the second rainy track-day in a row for me and I'm definitely ready for some dry track time. Lookin forward to some good old Cal. sunshine.

Turn 10? How do you spin there and not go off the track? Just think how fast you'll be on a dry track after all the practice on a wet one.

Did a nice and clean 180 right in the middle of the track and was on my way again a couple of seconds. Didn't even go in to the marshal and report ( hoped they wouldn't notice)Stefan McKeown of MC2 fame, who I'd passed earlier, said it looked like a stunt-man spin. Hey I was going too fast in the rain just like the CHP says.

Well, that's why Dr.Steve is performing surgery on the Frackmobile. I've told everyone for years that the wiring is all jacked up, courtesy of a number of people who I won't name....<cough, cough> their shop is at Blackstone & Minarets.
I'm really looking forward to not having to talk about my grounding problems after Dr.Steve is done.

Go here....http://www.flickr.com/photos/20066631@N06/ for some photo's from yesterday...if you look close, you might see Cliff in my "rooster tail". One of the few time's he was behind me. It would be the set "Thunderhill Feb 2008" and you're more than welcome to view any of the others...could be a tad bit boaring, but I'll leave that up to you!

Let us know what code you're throwing if it is a code. It might be helpful for our lil' clan to stay up on which modification combinations can potentially cause codes. Hopefully your SES light is not serious. Buuuuuuut....if you burned your head up, it could be time to upgrade, ie. "Merry Christmas & thank you for the new RMW head".

Note: Dr.Steve, how's the Frackmobile coming along?
