🤔 Broken parts....This explains why Patti and I did not see you on the 18th green , in class S, At Pebble Beach yesterday. JB

Sorry Sid, I know going to Google is a major task for you....  See you there

Sorry Jerry, I never go to car shows more than 25 miles from home... It's a race car, not a show car... did you take something?      Y'all can stop by the house for a beer on your way back

Well we all know what went wrong at SpeedWeek, here's something that went right... the trailer performed well, and the shade was outstanding.  We hosted several hundred visitors in the first couple of days.

The motor is back together and in the car.  Ross and I ran it to temp, checked all the sensors and reset the  timing... no leaks so far, just put the exhaust pipe on temporarily to run it because the ECU hates me when I don't hook up AFR. 
Yep the intake pipe is back off because we found a valve cover bolt that didn't want to tighten... so after we ran, we pulled the cover, and the cam cap to add a helicoil.  I had helicoil stuff for every size under the sun... except 7mm, us they are still getting even with us, and no one local had anything for 7mm because that is not common.  6mm, 8mm, 10mm 12mm not hard to find but there ya go.  It arrived after we installed so a little disassembly was required.
Now I have to take a couple of days off... had cataracts removed by lens replacement.  No bending, lifting, welding, working in the shop for a couple of days. I can say the lens they replaced in July made seeing the puddle easier when tig welding... yea, I don't weld any better, but I can easily see that I'm not

That canopy is genius, I may have to figure out how to implement something similar...

If you want to see it in person, come to World of Speed... or drop by the middle of nowhere Kansas to take a look.
