PNW Honda Camp RAWKS.... holes in pistons = bad
The condenced version;
If you've been following along, Colin's rocketship motor from his wrecked CRX was put into Steve's CRX a few weeks ago.
Rick set a new ITA lap record with it last weekend at PIR.
During practice this morning at Pacific, somehow they burned a hole through #3 piston.
Jim to the rescue with a junkyard motor.
With all of us thrashing, somewhere short of three hours or so, Rick was back on track for a few hardship laps.
Somehow, the oil drain plug wasn't tightened..... wasted bearings.
As I left the track tonight (had to go to the hospital to see new baby twin girls), they were putting new bearings in it for tomorrow.
Jeremy qualified 3rd overall in Group 2 today
I squandered to qualify 6th of 8 in GP. 4th, 5th, and myself qualified within a 10th!! Should be a fun race tomorrow.

Whoa, you didn't mention that you had new twin baby girls. Or are they someone elses?
It was amazing to see how much work those guys can do in a weekend. Last weekend they had their tranny out and back in between sessions. It was nice to meet everyone this weekend and last. Also thanks to everyone for putting up with all my questions.
Jr. also came over and talked, apparently he had lots of fun.
Good luck to all of you Tomorrow!! I wish I could join you. April is a long ways away

I hate working on that GOD DAMN car! I hate it, I hate it, I hate it!
I'm gonna do my best to explode the motor tomorrow! woot.
Yup, we did and engine swap then roasted the bearings then replaced the bearings and had it running by 8pm tonight.
I'm tired, I'm going to bed.
edit: I'm not really gonna try and grenade the motor it was intended for humor.

Glad to hear that. Remember, we're on track at 9:00. Sleep well
Roldan,
Our friend of ours had twins. A few weeks premature and one needs help breathing, but we're told they'll both be fine.
