  1. Croc, If that is the trailer, I can't wait for the feature film. Nice job all. Next year I vote that we have a projector to show the all of our videos on the wall in the garage while we eat ribs and drink beer. We can call in the order and I will go pick it up.
  2. Mike, Good to see you again. Next year with the real Seven ;-)
  3. Karl, Thanks. I missed that the last time.
  4. I have cleared my Tuesday and am now registered for Monday and Tuesday.:willy_nilly: My car is getting a refresh after 3 days at Summit Point. See you on Sunday.
  5. Dermot was released by the hospital this afternoon and should be home this evening.
  6. Another with a Corvette doing about 140+ at the end of the straight hit a deer. He's OK. The car can be repaired. The deer can't. It's in three pieces. View here: It just shows that you have to watch out for everything on and off the road at all times. Do they have deer at NJMP?
  7. Karl, The Avons were great. We can't have a group like that because those tents won't fit in my X3. I may stay for Monday.
  8. Somebody hit a deer at Summit Point at 140+ View here:
  9. Perfect weather, perfect track conditions and lots of fun. 7s in attendance: Michael Dougherty - Caterham Scott Lentz - Caterham Folis Jones - Birkin George Hillard - Birkin Jeff Duncan - WMC - Borken. Drove a BMW
  10. It sounds like fun. I am tempted to register at least for Monday,
  11. Thanks for sharing. Loved it all except for the curb jumpin. I guess he has disposable cars. I wouldn't want to buy one used.
  12. Tom Are those videos you took with your mini camera posted somewhere?
  13. So you are looking for a car that weighs about 1,245 lbs dry and has 220+HP. Right?
  14. There was a cycle powered Seven at the autocross yesterday. You won't be alone in B Mod.
  15. Sounds like you now have a new deffinition of "going fast". :-)
  16. My insurance covers a SUV rental since I had an SUV. I have found a company that rents a Nissan Pathfinder with a 2" hitch. All I have to do is slide min in and off we go. I can get one as soon as they have one available. Plus my Sevens misfire is fixed. It was the crank sensor again. See you guys soon.
  17. I had an accident in my tow car today. Now I need to find a rental SUV with a tow hitch or socket I can put my hitch into. Any suggestions?
  18. I am coming up for Sunday. So maybe I will see you guys that come in early.
  19. Tom, First: There is much more car all around you than in a Seven. Second: You and a passenger sit much lower and protected than you do in a Seven. Third: Each seat has it's own roll proection device. A Seven only has one. Fourth: It doesn't rquire a top due to the anti rain aerodynamic design. Fith: They will take the yellow car in on trade. Why would she not approve?
  20. Karl, Any chance of it turning around? How about for NJMP the following week? Summit Point in September and November are usually great as well.
  21. Yes an FIA bar will fit under the FV Top.
  22. I used 4" thick foam rubber and simply stuffed it all around the trans. This blocked all hot air from flowing down the tunnel. It was no where near the drive shaft.
  23. 1. Jet Coat Headers - only with a no modified motor. My 216 HP Zetec burned off the coating in three days. So I needed additional insulation. 2. Covered footwells with self adhesive reflective heat guard. 3. Pack all around trans tunnel to prevent hot air from blowing down the tunnel. This lowered my footwell temps by 40 degrees. Measured with dual cooking thermoters in each footwell on 93 degree day. Temps measured before mods and after mods at same outside temp.
  24. I will be there on Sunday but can not count on M+t.
  25. I have a Caterham Zetec, cams, TWM Pectel 216 HP setup. It runs very rich but has run very well. Recently it started to mis at 4,200 and again at 4,700. At first I thought it might just be a cold engine. Today I took it out after a 20 minute idle to full temp. It had the same miss in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th. I didn't get to 4,200 in 5th on the public hwy. Any thoughts before I spend money on dyno time. PS I will have to pay someone else to do this as it is beyond my abilities. Thanks for your thoughts.
