I kinda meant after the deevorce, you might have 1/2 a trailer left, guess I wasn't clear enough.

Race cars are neither beautiful nor ugly. They become beautiful when they win.

Re: BRM Tuning

Unless Al steps in here, I'd say this is a push until after Bill returns from his honeymoon.

On that note though, the 24th might work for me.  It's a Weds just before an Odd Thurs.  Anyone?

Re: BRM Tuning

I'd be interested, but will have to check the date. I think the 24th is good for me, but won't know for a couple of days.

Re: BRM Tuning

Even the crippled one might be able to make that date also. Should have my new brace on by then. Just have to see what my rehap dates are to be sure. And of course I have to get the wife to sign off on driving me over

Absolutely!  I'll be sure to use my best hammer when I tune them for you!

Re: BRM Tuning

I put the axle I got from Rico (thanks again Rico) into mine, it seems smoother but my straightaway isn't really long enough to get it up to speed.

Re: BRM Tuning

I have a meeting at 3:30 which normally lasts til ~4:30 if it's not cancelled.  I can be there by 5:30 (6 if traffic is crappy) if that's cool with you?  I will bring my truer and whatever spares I can round up.

Re: BRM Tuning

That's fine Chris. I'll open the doors at 5:00pm for anybody that is interested. I'll send out a notice today. I've got urethane tires for us to test also.

Re: BRM Tuning

Uh, Ummm, I've been testing your tires for the last two races, but with the front end issues I still finished near the bottom. Last race in the first heat I got a little too wide on Al's bank and Monte broadsided me so hard my car broke. I borrowed one of Rico's cars and had my best finish ever in that class.

Re: BRM Tuning

Mine's fixed, had to find a new O ring at the local hardware store and put a new grommet on the wire. With Rico's new axle it appears to be ready to go.

Re: BRM Tuning

Thanks to everyone that showed up for the test and tune session last night! We had a really good turn out. And thanks to Chris for organizing, sharing the tips, and helping everyone get their cars up to speed.
