Best thing you can do right now, IMHO, is help support (and drive for?) the E30/6 team!! We'll be out at CMP in the spring and maybe try for a ChumpCar at VIR next year too.

I think the 3 core members are pretty tapped for 2012, but I may ask him. Thanks for the heads up.

Lou

I took one step backwards to take two steps forward... Er sumthin' like that. :?

I pulled the K member out of the "Ruster Duster" and got a good look at how bad the front framerail is. I think a "Safe T Cap" will fix it just fine. :wink:

I'll post some pictures soon.

(No,... I haven't completely forgotten the priorities in life again! :roll: )

I needed the K member for something else and it had to come out anyway to be able to fix the framerail. The car will sit there on blocks until... umm,... until it doesn't! :lol:

Front K member bolt hole is okay.

Here's the worst of it. I think a Safe T Cap will work.

This kinda caught me by surprise! :shock:

I was removing the front suspension and I saw some grass fly out from behind the disc brake dust shield... I spun the rotor and saw this little guy staring back out at me. :lol:

He had to move out... :(

Maybe the groundhog will let him move in. :lol:

Besides Venable. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:



Nothing personal, but that frame rail scares me. I am going to try a Saf-T-Cap on the 340 car, but it is in the trans crossmember area. :shock:
