Haven't heard much on this lately. Still on? I'm going to try to make it, but might not be able to get out of work. What time will you all probably get there and about when are you staying until?
 
I emailed you since I was having trouble PM'ing you.
We're still going. We'll probably get there around 9:30/quarter to ten. Not sure how long we're staying though.
I emailed you my cell number so that you could call me when you get there and we can meet up.

Looks as though I will be stuck going to work, so no chances of making it today. I'd definately be interested in another meet if I could get an advanced warning to request days.
 
Sorry you had to work. We had a good time.
I'm going to start working on the pictures shortly.
There will be a next time, promise. :)

They didn't come out all that well thanks to the fence but here are some pictures:

Thanks for the photo previews. I was very happy to see your guys at Pocono, and very much enjoyed parading around in front of the camera!

I should have gone up farther to take the pictures, to the spot where the cars came onto the track. I would have gotten better shots, and no fence either.
Next time.
We had a good time watching you cruise around the track.
How's the progress coming with the engine?

No time this week to work on the engine, nor the half shaft we broke during the last session.

Also need to add a horizontal bar to the roll cage to mount the shoulder harness better to avoid downward compression on the spine in event of a collision.


I do have two spare heads which came with the purchase of the car. They look a bit gummed up to me, so, I am scratching my head (the human one) to figure our what to use to clean one of them.

Then I'll do a quick change over to the spare head and test it using that running compression Mike P., the Ford Dealership Technician, showed us.
 
The horizontal bar is a good idea, we don't want anything happening to you or your brother in the event of a collision.

Can you take the head to Lehigh Radiator and have them clean it? They can probably dunk it/soak it and get all the gunk out for you. When we cleaned our UIM we used brake cleaner and a wheel brush, messy but another option.

The Ford tech was cool. I had a great time listening to him, picked up some good info.

Also, tell your wife I enjoyed meeting and talking with her. :)
