I'll be at 131 Motorsports Park for the GLSSA race. Since I have to run 9.25 index next weekend at Monster Mopar I may just start there this weekend as well. Predicted 96 degrees for Saturday.

Malex, be careful with that stuff but I agree maybe a good time for up grade. Good luck waiting for results. Hope the hand gets better fast.

I've used Lye crystals lots for stripping anodizing off of parts over the years. I was using it this time to wash the garage floor prior to paint. Just got laxed, forgot about mixing procedures. Had my hand under the cold water within seconds thank goodness. Guys, don't be a dumbass like me, it hurts.
----Dang man that stings. Take care of that hand.
Now I have the upper hand at the track.
Hahaha, may be all I needed to straighten out my reaction times on the T brake button..

Yep, that's what I'm using on it and it's coming along good. Won't look the purtiest but cosmetics is over rated anyhow.

Last winter when I was laying the laminate countertop in my shop, I got my thumb into the router..... yuk!

Holy crap LW, that thumb looks like it should be attached to a walking dead!
You bet. Its only a 2 layer driving suit. How bad can it be. Besides I'm a spry 64 years young. I ran a few years ago at Mountain Park in Kentucky, 100 degrees.

I dont envy you , the heat . Wish we had more racing here in winter , been 3 weeks another 3 weeks till next t&t
Not too unusual here . Have raced in up to 45degC . Plain hard work . Race suit just makes it harder . And gets humid here , had 120grains a few times
Cool towel and shade
Good luck

No racing for a week yet and as one could expect, the weather man is already predicting 60 & 70% chance of rain over the 2 days. It figures..
In the meantime I've made some mods to my trans brake button to eliminate the bounce that I was experiencing. Check it out.
I replaced the aluminum washer on the rear with a thin modified steel one. Then I attached a small magnet to the switch body. Now when the button pops out, it sticks...
What was happening was that the button would bounce once reaching the end of it's travel and it would effect reaction time. Depending how I let go of the button would change the amount of bounce too.
I was telling a fellow racer that it seemed like my trans brake was not releasing properly sometimes. He recalled hearing about a button problem once, I checked mine and sure enough. When using a lighter spring supplied in the kit this can happen.
Also raised the rear ride height an inch, readjusted pinion angle, will see if there's any change in 60'. Rear tires now can come off without unbolting the shocks too.
Another week to wait...

Yes that was one of the ones I had. I did a rotisserie resto on it in 1993. Like a dumbass, I sold it in 1997.
