I'd put her to work driving Uber to pay for your hobby. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meant to write “her,” not “Uber,” but your idea is excellent. I imagine she’ll be thrilled to hear it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FE07 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 All signed up and ready to go. Crawled under the car to nut & bolt and found 6 rivets missing from the floor on drivers side!! Repaired with some stainless rivets instead of the aluminum ones that were there. That should fix it but I'll keep an eye on it. The harness won't keep me in the car if the floor falls out. See everybody Friday AM. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croc Posted August 29 Author Share Posted August 29 For those arriving on Thursday, while it is worthwhile checking in at ECG garage 367 on the Thunderbolt access road, I have three cars on a test day at Thunderbolt so please come over to the Thunderbolt pits where I think you will find us based in the big event garage adjoining the classroom. I expect to finish up there at 4pm and shuttle things back to the garage after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowss7 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 One week to go. Hopefully you all have done the necessary maintenance and polishing 😝 I will have both cars in attendance. Yellow and Orange.

fastg Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I don't think this has been mentioned this year for the newbie drivers. NJMP requires arm restraints in open top cars.

For those who forget their arm restraints I have some pink fluffy ones to shame you with. Simon donated them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastg Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Check your drain plug. It the event at Gingerman MI, I guys turned up with a 5k mile old BMW M2, Just had a fresh oil change before his first ever track day. You can guess how this ended, so check your drain plugs.
