Re: Looking for JA kart

I have a two Topkart Cadets (age 8-12) with Comer 80s in great condition ready to run. One is 199x and one is 2005 chassis. They've been virtually unused and my sons are too big for them now. I don't remember the Solo classes so I'm not sure if this FJA is for the younger or older kids. I can post p...

Re: Team Blew, Gone but Not Forgotten

Toby it was great to see you and Jason out there. What a challenging track...I had forgot since I hadn't been on WSIR 2.5 for over ten years...unfortunately I was 2 seconds slower than I was in 2001. I had a misfire all day but a lot of it had to do with "Huevos Pacitos". But they are gett...

Re: Your best "Renee" story

Renee was one of those people you never forget from the moment you meet her. I met her when I started road racing with Calclub and she would work the grid. I always got along with her great but I knew that anyone could be walking the thin line. I knew how to keep my mouth shut. I met her again at CS...

Awesome!

I'm still in Burbank tonight, you around?

Otherwise I'll try and get someone to take me over there tomorrow since I take the train on Fridays.

Fender Rolling

I need to have my fenders rolled for clearance. Does anyone have a fender roller I can borrow?
Or, do you have someone you recommend to do it?
Thanks

Re: I'm getting that crazy itch again...

Sorry to have posted and run. But I'm at the beach this weekend. I'd love an Élan but haven't seen any for a reasonable price. I'm looking for a 60 % restored weekender. Not a show car. Even the Roadster's seem overpriced unless it's a bucket of bolts. I like the small light cars and anything pre 19...

Re: I'm getting that crazy itch again...

What about your Shannon! Get that going first! I knew you'd chime in. I made promises to the more responsible half that I wouldn't race it right away. We are trying to finish home renovations. The Shannon is otherwise ready to go with a few hours work. I don't want (or really need) another racecar....

Mako knows my addiction. And Chad has it worse! :lol: Who knows anything about Datsun Roadsters? I seem to remember a few Datsun gurus in the club. What years/engines to avoid? What to look for?

Mako, It's for your own good. You don't want to loose a limb in a rollover accident. Just think of the Def Leppard drummer. These things are cheap insurance.
