Torques! I wanna know torques!

Wait a minute-did Dusty give you any stuffed animals to tie to your car?

Yeah-thats a bit optimistic. My 95 7.3 is fresh rebuilt with 10k miles-and I just did the glowplugs last month-so everything is as good as its gonna be. Only been down to the teens -but you still have to let the plugs warm up 20-30 seconds if you want it to start right up.

No rage-but having done (very) short course like this - 1st lap you're just happy you don't get a handlebar in the gut and you're upright. Everyone is going for the same square inch of inside line. Theres no waiting in a 10 lap race.

I was coming on to type the same thing.

What-he wasn't the author?

I can back up the 'non-red'.

It's so promising to see good dope put to a decent use.

You are correct. Cool place-we camped there for a week-raced on 2 weekends.

How about a Trabant funny car?

This car was a rally car-which the only thing i saw to make it so was the stickers + extra gaskets taped to the rear deck. Well…

I paused + stared at this for an hour. The detail is awsome. The bead rolling inside the rear quarters-how the dry sump pump just clears the chassis-dry sump plumbing that doesnt look like an octopus. And then I see Chris climb in the car. Whats with the seat wigiling around? That aint right. Someone move it for Chris…

I had the honor of getting a tour of Vt. Sportscar recently. I saw the 2015 Subbie rally car on the the fab plate. I was suprised how little Subbie was left (yes-started from a whole car)-lower section of the firewall-the rough shape of the doorsill-and a thin sliver of metal over the doors.Thats it. As far as sq.…

Oh thats just too fuckin' cool!

Can I have your old peanut oil? My diesel Jetta loves it.

Which would be less comforting?

Props for attempting the wiper trick. That's normally reserved for autocrosses.

Cars are for sissys.

Although not present on this one, every other one of these i've seen had a Mazda "M" on the horn button.

LOLOLO! I could sooo see that! That woulda been me back in the day. We all had Datsuns + Toyotas set up for hammering down the dirt roads-and did many miles late at night in the snow.Hooning wasn't a word-neither was drifting-but thats what we were doing.
