    I was fortunate to see an old friend today. And must now belatedly nominate @Vovchandr for the ‘Polisher’ award this year. The Bday award has already been delivered to @FasterThanVov Ps. We still need to coordinate a blat before they salt the roads. Are there any good roads through the Catskills? cheers

    Auto-X? Here??? I think yellowS7 also started out AutoX ‘ing (as well as many other folks here have). I’ve been AutoX’ing for 6 years now. I do okay with the group I drive with & the car handles well. In this time my driving skill and ability have greatly improved. By comparison the one time I tried driving the Mini it handled like a brick. So yes! Se7en are brilliant AutoX cars. As a generalization I think we’re too busy having fun driving to post about it online.

    Would these rules still apply if the car were truly for track use/not to be registered or driven on roads? (I do mean this out of curiosity, not at all a ‘Monty python: wink-wink, nudge nudge’ question). Didn’t a group from UK/Ireland do a USA in 7’s tour with their cars back in 2005? (And then ship their cars home one month later?)

    I definitely added a few pounds between the clubhouse Chef’s cooking & the Green Olive. Which further added to my lap times.

    I received mine in single large crate with chassis & all (less engine). Shipped to my mechanic, who slid (by hand) the crate onto his flat-bed tow truck. After a little head scratching in my garage he tipped the trailer up. Lowered to the floor and we gently slid the crate off. Discovering that wood crates slide nicely on the aluminum trailer deck.

    On my Schroth you can I set a pin to release the crutch strap. Is this an option to disengage it if you want for street use?

    Do you have the plastic or metal water outlet connector? I took my heater out- but formerly modified the metal outlet connector for water temp senders & heater connection. I will look for a plumbing picture this weekend. ps: if you don’t have an oil temp sensor I think it’s nice to have. If you have the raceline wet sump You can easily add one by drilling & tapping the large anodized screen filter bolt. Mount the same sender for dash water temp and a switch to go between the two.

    You could try checking with the LoCost folks. There may be someone over there who’s in Fl

    IIRC Slomove had a ‘key’ on the back of his car to look like an old ‘wind up’ toy (or go kart in this case). This was probably 10-15years ago… It may have also involved a surfboard. Possibly on the old Birkin forum. Like this - but home made

    Now you need the 'wind up key' the SloMove used to have

    I use Sierra (Propylene Glycol - less toxic antifreeze. With assembly/ disassembly I’ve spilt far too much to risk our dog’s safety. thankfully no close calls but good insurance.

    The yellow label is a patch sewn onto my belts. What if you (carefully & with surgical precision) just removed the offending yellow patches by cutting their threads?

    Jay i may have a spare water pump you can have. The Duratec’s are all plastic… are you sure it’s the pump/plastic manifold or could it be a hose junction?

    Accepting that head neck restraint devices are a good idea for HPDE & track driving. I have not used one before and a quick search reveals the typical 1x-5x price range with various styles, whistles & bells. What advice & comments do folks have regarding model selection, fitment & personal preferences for a first time shopper? Addendum: FWIW I have Schroth 6 point. 2" webbing. But interested in general comments as well.

    I use a local shop for alignment & have found other folks for specific parts/repairs. But don’t have a ‘mechanic for repairs’

    Has anyone driven Palmer in their se7en (or other vehicle)? Any thoughts or comments on the track?
