There are now 295 cars registered for Daytona.
83 in the I T group. 28 ITS, 25 ITA, 6 ITR
Any predictions on the Daytona weather on race weekend?
It's going to be hot. But will it rain? :shrug:
We'll work something out. Scott is also doing the test day. I'm going to try to take the day off and get there early and hopefully get in.
Hey 2 are better than one at Daytona:eclipsee_steering:
The CW Pence Rebuilders guys came thru and got motor back last night. The boys came over and started putting all the stuff back on it. Hopefully will have it in and running by tonight or tomorrow.
Its been raining alot in Daytona....but its been early evening around 6-7pm.
Thanks to Jason, we finished up motor around 4:45am today. Added all fluids but need a new slave cylinder. Also, I didn't get a chance to fire it up today but will do tomorrow. Getting closer....
It's alive! Still need drain the break in oil, replace stock oil filter and hook up the remote oil filter. Need to replace the thermostat (it didn't open). Brake lights are staying on because of the stupid plastic piece from the brake pedal broke off. Lastly, need a new idle air control valve because it surges at 1500 rpm and check engine light with code 14. Almost there!
...and again, props to Jason for getting me there!
Good to hear Richy.. Jay told us all about about it with some funny stories about what time it was when the sprinklers turn on :happy204:

You left out the IT-7 cars. Group 5 has 85 or so pre-registered. And the afternoon rains can be wicked! Remember May 2007?
Where can I find a weekend race schedule at?

Thanks for the heads up.. We just got the car to run the day before yesterday, seems strong, been working on breakign it in. During pratice/qual I will be taking it easy. Maybe I can get a tour from one of you guys:D... I know Dave R. is oging to give all she's got sunday.
We noticed that the one of the V710's that I ran at driver school is staring to get come apart.. almsot liek cracks forming in the rubber. So we will be strapping on some old Toyo's that are in better condition.
Dave should be heading down there in a few with our flaming trailer..
Does anyone know the finish order for ITB?
Hate to have to wait for mylaps...and then FINDING the race with the search function on that site is a real pain.

sun. race
1 deuce [new track record i believe 2:26 ]
2 peter keane
not sure about the rest ,just what i remember at impound.
Anyone know how track records work and where they are listed?
I *thought* the ITA record was 2:20.0
Kip ran a 2:19.9 in the Saturday shortened race and there was nothing about a track record on the results.
I ran a 2:20.1 in the Sunday 10 lapper and my name was listed as "new track record"
Huh? :shrug:
The track was fun and for my first time there, I felt great. Was disappointed in the registration as I got there about 30 seconds late for test day registration and got turned away and told to come back in 4 hours to get into the track. Really???
If I could have tested I think I could have gotten my Sunday pace on Saturday and kept on improving. Oh well. It was a blast, and the people and racing was even better.
I'll be back next year for sure. But bringing one of those misting fans with me, fuuuuck it was hot!
