Show us a photo of your engine bay pedal box to firewall/scuttle. My engine oil catch tank is in this area and in its early days it would leak like this. Assuming that is not the location of your catch tank then I question if it is engine oil or something else? If it is engine oil then do you have a mechanical oil pressure gauge which has the capillary tube full of oil leaking? If not engine oil then is it clutch fluid leaking? Its easy enough to pull the top of the pedal box off (4 screws) and check.

It will be a baffle inside the muffler - they all do that. Don't know of a US system but the UK Caterham crowd always recommend Raceco https://racecoexhausts.co.uk/products/k-series-vauxhall-and-zetec/

Still one of my favorite sevens ever.

Yes but only for Canada enthusiasts as they have the 15 year import rule. US enthusiasts have to wait 25 years...sadly.

Its Busa!!! Long time no see. Hope your health is better? Its Florida and always will be. Wonderfully simplistic approach to life. May it always continue.

The write up was frenetic as the actual pace on the video - that was really exciting to watch. Speaking of BDR....why is it not installed yet? :toetap05:

Successfully staying ahead of you here Shane - just had to show your son that I was the better driver (of course)! :jester:

Oh I knew alright. I have Mike W's photos of TJ having a moment there. Then again I have a distinct recollection of doing some offroading myself in the Cossie with your son riding passenger...oops. The steering was binding a little bit under throttle. A 1965 Mustang with the period suspension modifications - front and rear - handles very well for a 1960s era car. It does not handle well compared to anything else today. But thats why I like it. It forces me to drive around the car and adjust my driving habits. On this very hot day it had marginal grip. So it was producing understeer into some corners. To deal with this I would provoke oversteer about a third of the way through the corner and then throttle steer the rest. The problem with this is that the rear end is also marginal for grip. So there is a lot of lateral slip from a lack of mechanical grip. As a result I would get very very wide in the corners and this can be really seen at turn 5 (over the top of the crest right hander) and the bowl. The bowl is further complicated in that a live axle rear end just hates a 15 degree banking and the inner wheel slipping. I was trying too hard and I simply slid the rear end wide in the bowl and dropped the rear wheel into the dirt. No amount of mashing the throttle could stop the weight transfer swing on the rear end and around she went...ever so slooooowly and then it was a simple matter of jumping on the brakes to head back rather than stay on track in front of Kitcat. I was laughing and Shane was laughing but Kitcat headed straight to the pits for new underwear.

The BMW is getting quicker. Still same old engine but new gearbox and new LSD. Same old steering and bumps steer although the rear end is now adjusted to be better controlled. Its lap times have now dropped. Still a long way to go - need that new engine from Kormans. For those that attended I will email around the share drive link to allow you to download photos. The link is also below for download. Please do not delete the photos or move them around - download only please. https://www.amazon.com/photos/share/qD2AM1ymGjTs0iDh9WHlPruHqWAwfKzA0wcMJFEsow

And for those who arrived early on the Wednesday, some of the money pits were running on track until I broke two of them - the CSL (locating studs for the rear centerlock hubs) and the Cossie (rear bearings) - part of the recommissioning/testing cycle to failure proof them. Cossie was limited to 4000rpm while I test the drivetrain and handling components to ensure they are safe. Car essentially sat for 12 years with minimal stressed use. Anyway, it only broke because Shane was in the passenger seat and his weight was too much for the rear end bearings. It is a beautiful driver - one of the most incredible track cars I have ever driven. I think it may be better than my Caterham in terms of ease of driving quickly. The Mustang was just plain out of grip on the very hot day, sliding all over the place. I managed to rotate it slooowly around in the bowl with Kitcat and Shane coming up from behind. Kitcat was big eyes, locked up wheels, freaking out as he tried to avoid me. Shane was behind him, both hands off the wheel with thumbs up going "Dude! That is so cool!"

So Steve, did you enjoy the extra power?

Then for the few that drove Wednesday afternoon being Kitcat, Shane and Steve (driving my Caterham) I have a few photos

The only car by car photos from Friday came from when we drove away from the group photo site and when we went out on track

Photos from Mike Woellner of the event. He was only there Wednesday and Friday morning first thing so not much of on track photos this year. Group photos from Friday

Nah - would not need it for that. Nothing like cooking happens in my kitchen. :spam:
