I see we’re now running open pipes!  Lol. 

You see as I see.  I'm still home but feeling better.  I'm hoping to be there tomorrow to see what nocones and Singleslammer have done to the bastard child.

Maschinenbau: I have video of you running against the Spirit of Lemons but don't know how to get it to upload here.. enjoyed talking to you and seeing your handiwork!  Car looked like a handful on the autocross from my vantage point in the middle as a course worker.

I can only imagine how confusing it would be for someone who knows nothing about GRM or the $2000 Challenge to wake up and walk out of the hotel and see this basking in the morning light:

I think if they were here for the grinding and welding a couple days ago, that would seem like sweet, sweet normalcy to them.

So many great cars,so many good people.  Great recipe for a fun time.  Living vicariously watching the event.  Hope everyone has a safe, fun time.  Enjoy, and keep the info flowing.

A 12.0 is fast! I think we've all been de sensitized watching so many cars go 7.x on YouTube, but a 12.0 is nothing to sneeze at.

Towing a "Lotus Europa" backward has killed many an engine cover and broken a few windshields.
Hope that was/is a short trip at low speed.

I passed a green roadster with gold fender flares on the Interstate on Thursday and thought to myself "that looks like a challenge car" turns out I was right.

Finally home as of a few hours ago and already back to working on cars. Dropping the pan and filter on transmission, swapping the speed sensor, replacing the fuel pump O ring on my other Q45, and checking over the spacer install on the Silverado.

Dude.  Your patience with the pop rivets and contortionism was heroic.  Well done.

And they said fat men can't flex, at least I think that's how the saying goes

Is it bad I know people by their name now instead of their screenname? XD. Except QuasiMofo, either he said it or mentioned it but my brain was probably off.
