Wait. I thought you said you needed that van to be in Lincoln. You're charging people to help you? ;)

As far as I know, there were very few DNFs. And some of those were from good drivers that most likely over-drove a section. At the same time most people seemed to really enjoy the course. Minimizing getting lost and maximizing having fun, I would say, is a big success.

Thanks, Theo.

Yes. Many thanks to Gayle - and her family - for all the work they have done for so many years. We'll be praying for a successful surgery and quick recovery.

Thanks, Gayle!

A good friend of mine has an uncle that raced Z cars in Socal for the last several years. Some of you may know him - Art Nadel. Well, Art had a stroke about a year ago that he wasn't supposed to recover from - but he did. Mostly at least. He still can't speak but a few words but he understands perfe...

Yeah, I got tank pressures and regulator pressures mixed up but the thought of pressures that high just seemed scary to me. My pelt gun does a 1000fps with just one pump so when you get up to the pressures we're talking about ....... blah, blah, blah.... it's my paranoid SSS side coming out. So one ...

Well, shows you what I know.

I'll jump in here as well...... NO, NO, NO, that tank you bought is a max 450PSI which is typical for n-tanks used for tire inflation. That 4500psi tank is for guns (paintball) because it's being used in place of gunpowder! And like gunpowder, anything over 200 psi is pretty deadly in an accident. H...

Thanks to all the people that helped to make this event possible. It was a great event, well organized, better than some SCCA National Tour I have attended. Special Thanks to Mike Simanyi !!! These were the best 2 autoX courses I have driven in my life. I have been 3 times to the SCCA Nationals, an...

The totals have the index applied.

Thanks, didn't notice.

That was one of the best weekends of AXing I've even done. Wow! what a great course :thumbup: . and Way to go Toby! I only wish I could have done as well on Sat as I did on Sunday.

Way to go, Bill. :gpower:

Thanks everyone. He bought it.

Don't I wish. I'm still paying off a $75K HD camera package..

I have a friend trying to buy a Boxster in the LaCanada area. Anyone know a good shop in that area to take a Porsche for inspection?

Thanks

You have to be a bit careful with music even on YouTube. If any of you saw my tribute video to Craig a while back, I used a Joey Ramone song. YouTube stripped the audio off of it for copyright infringement. ????? It had like 100 hits. I have no idea why I got singled out because I hear copyrighted m...

I'll try and be there to help early, but it does sort of depend on how Friday goes for me.

My prayers are with your family.

I have that Sony MC-1, great camera. Funny to see it mounted upside down. I guess you flip it in post? ;)

Sorry to hear this, Tom. My best get well wishes to Kathy. I hope we will still see you out there. I know many of us will gladly share our cars with you.

I'm still out for the practice, I just have too much to do although now I might be able to at least make it Sunday. And since I haven't been out since Jan, I'd really like to make it out. This is becoming my lost year, I guess.......

Oh, crap.... once again I have to drop out. I spend a year not working and now it pours. i can't make this weekend. please give my spot to next in line.

I'll try and make the next one......

It's a desktop. Perhaps I'm being too hard on Dell but you guys figured out the problem within a few posts where it took them literally months to figure it out. And the problem was ultimately their fault so they had better have sent a new box to me. Regardless of what this new problem is or whether ...

OK last, last words on this. Tonight the Dell blew up. Won't boot, won't boot from a rescue disc or a OS disc. I guess the HDD bit the dust. Too bad because it was working great since I added the sound card. Sooooooo, I would like to get some things off of it before sending it to recycling. Anyone k...

That was my conclsion - some hardware conflict. But since putting in the new card got me audio, I'm walking away for now. I really have too many other things to. I really appriciate all the help on this. I hope all you guys had a fun weekend. Too bad I had work. I could use some time to blow off str...

So I put an end to this madness and did the REAL obvious thing: I just bought a new sound card, bypassed the stupid built-in sound from the motherboard, and now I have audio again. Should have done this weeks ago. Stupid Dell wasted my time and their too. I'm glad time isn't money. Thanks to everyon...
