A few pics of TMO folks and their steeds at the SCCA Solo National Championship Event!!

[Bill Pemberton]

Sorry for not getting pictures of everyone from TMO who attended the Nationals ( heck I don't know all of you since you are listed by a site moniker ) but I was only running on Thursday and Friday and unlike years past I did not get to Lincoln until later on Wednesday. It was really good to see Al Hermans as this year he finally got his Black Beast back into CP after a catastrophic engine failure a few years back. I could have taken more pictures but some of the ground pounding Classes were running on the opposite course my son and I ran so just no way to get over there this year. I imagine some of you also have some great shots from the event , so do consider posting.

Pictures above:
Pete Bruschi working on his Huffing and Puffing mean little Ecoboost Pony, two guys who ran non Fords at the Event ( Black Hat Duane Black and me ), Al Hermans and I plus a couple shots of his reincarnated CP Beast.

Below:
Big Bad Dave Whitworth and I , along with his F Street 4th Place Trophy Mustang. Funniest picture taken as Dave is a tall youngster but I was standing a bit back and I look like I am 4 ft tall, ha! Heh, I am a little vertically challenged but Dave is not Shaq sized!

Hope you all saw that bold and beautiful decal on Al Hermans Mustang --- TrackMustangsOnline stands tall on his driver's door!

Dang, forgot to post a really important picture as many drivers out there are running helmets that are getting too old for many track organization events and DAVEW as soloperformance.com had his helmets posted at the Nationals for 25% off. I am pretty sure any TMO members who contact him can get the same deal!

It was good to see you Bill!

I wasnt running the Mustang for those looking. I was in a Honda Civic in EP. my co driver ran 4th while I was 5th in class, right off the trophies. The car had bolts break off in the block but he has extracted the bolts and gone up two sizes for the replacement bolts.

Thanks for posting Dave Ws info, I too, need a new helmet and would prefer to " buy local"

What we really need @Bill Pemberton is an article for Tire Guy Mafia...

Nice too see you again , Bill. I hope everyone had a better nationals than I did. Still working out teething pains after getting the car back together. We were fighting a huge push on both days on initial turn in. Discovered that the shocks were set on full stiff compression which may have been part of it since there was some improvement on day 2 after backing way off. The fuel pump was in the process of failing as well so that was replaced on Thursday evening. Good thing Speedway was close by and that I had recently cut an access hole in the trunk for the fuel pump. I'll be looking at the suspension geometry over the off season to see what, if anything, can be done about the push.

Heres the car I campaigned to 5th out of 11 in class
