Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Dawn wash -> Clay -> wax w/Turtle Wax Ice (love that product - so quick an easy'2coats in an hour) -> Back to Black on all the plastics n ruber. Inside today

I've only clayed the car when i got it and today - difference when done is really night an day.

How often do yall clay ? Also - is a wax after enough or is a sealant absolutely necessary ?

you will want to clay a DD about twice a year fall and spring is when I do it.

sealant isnt necessary but it will provide a longer lasting protection.

Willow springs yesterday. First time on big willow - fun!
After the front camber plates the wear looks good. The rears are wearing more on the outside shoulder. What do you do for rear camber? Eccentric bolts/bushings or?

You must have been out there with NASA! INDE is a fun track. I was thinking about coming down to hang out this weekend but too much going on at home.

Yep thinking about going to Chuckwalla with them next month too. It was a great track, love the elevation changes and blind corners.

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Chuckwalla is a blast, TBH I like it more than INDE. INDE is a tighter course that favors lighter cars, but Chuckwalla is a more high-speed track that Mustangs love :)

Are they going to run Clockwise or CCW?

They don't mention the direction they are running on the NASAAZ website. Yeah lots of little cars caught me in the infield but once we hit the straights they faded quickly.

Lost my throw out bearing at Summit Main in the rain. Dove 300 miles home clutchless. Really messed up a great weekend on track with good friends.

BLEH. See if Ram or McLeod make one that fit the MT-82; the stockers are time bombs.

Hey Steve,
Unreal meeting up with you yesterday...small friggin world, huh...Was going to ask you about the t/out bearing situation on site today, but then got the call to hold off coming back. Luckily I hadn't hit the Throgs Neck yet.
