so, for those HC drivers across the country that are making the trek to mid ohio, how ready are you? car packed up already? still have some last minute odds and ends to take care of?

 

almost ready! the ONLY things I have to do is:

finish installing the back-up engine...wiring and cooling systems
get the back up engine running
get the exhaust fitted for new header
get the back up engine dyno tuned

remove the back up engine out of car

BUILD from step one the PRIMARY Engine
mate primary engine to primary transmission
install primary engine
dyno tune primary engine

mount new tires and wheels
test fit new tires and wheels and make adjustments (spacers?)

work on chassis of car:
corner weigh
alignment

build new front splitter and spoiler
replace decals on car

clean car

pack all things needed for drive across america to Ohio

leave Sat Sept 3rd for Ohio

...and a ton of other things I forgot to mention

hope I make it

 

Meris sounds like me!
Lots left to do, and no time left to do it!

Nationals rocks in more ways than one.....

 

holy crap.. talk about being behind the power curve.
That is a huge amount of work you both have to do.
If im in so/mountain cal, and you need a hand turning wrenches Jeremy....Im there.
Jonathon same for you but I'm only about an hour away.

 

Thanks!!! I might have to take you up on it, depending how slow I work :s

 

Ok, I don't feel bad then. I have no head, bottom end is still on the stand, one set of tires short, new springs and kill switch haven't arrived yet, not have the wheel spacers.

 

1 VERY long day left for me!

 

Been listening to your guy's runs. SMF is running the same time as a couple local club members running in F-Mod and CSPL

 

they are speaking of nasa nationals. there should be a scca thread though, eh?

 

Oh. I just assumed, because there was a "Lo-Buck Racing" Civic in SMF. And another HT Member (have'nt seen him active for a while though) from my hometown of Roswell, GA.

 

hmm. gonna have to hunt that guy down and smack him around (unless its my buddy mark from out west)

 

I guess we are all lo buck once in a while , more often than not lol

 

Of the 4 cars I'm prepping for the Championships, 1 is completely ready; another is on the trailer and ready to go to the dyno on Saturday (all other prep is complete); yet another is still on jack stands awaiting the new cam that was overnighted today so that I can install it tomorrow after work and load it on the trailer tomorrow night to have it at the dyno on Saturday; and the last car is also on jack stands in the shop and is ready to go except for having the lexan installed in the rear hatch and being put on the scales, which will happen on Saturday afternoon or Sunday.

I'm moving in to Mid-O on Monday morning at 8am.

See you all at the track!

Regards,

Sam

 

My to-do list isn't too bad, but I'm glad Monday is a holiday, sounds like there will be some late night workin' for some of us HC guys at Mid-Ohio!

 

i don't know what i'll be doing, but i know it will be something...

 

It was a Mark Naused from Colorado, and it's "LoBuk".....

Good luck to all of you this week.

 

nice, thats my boy!!!
