Fastcorvairs Labor day week end at LS
« on: September 06, 2011, 05:04:18 PM »
Well I'm back.  One peace and tired as hell.  Most driving I've done in a long time.  Day and night. Went Thur 35 Gal's of VP 110.  Worked 20 LB's of boost out of the car and then backed it back down to 18 LB's and left it.  Sand was The best it's been in a long time.  Hot Friday when I got down about three o'clock.  Wood guy had his car there and waiting for me.  We waited for it to cool down and then went out.  Had a good run Friday evening.  Saturday was a good run in the AM and hung out in the trailer with all three air's running.  State has a burn ban on so the wood guy was board as hell.   Saturday night the cold front come in and the temp's went down real fast. Had to put on a hoddie to run.  104 down to 88 in about and hour.   Rain came late so it and the wind really smoothed the sand out for Sunday morning.  The wife and I went for and early morning run and twenty minunits out my shifter took a dump.  Luckily I was in third gear and was able to drive back to camp.  Found that a bolt had broken off in the nose cone.  A little of this and a lot of that and welder and I was good to go for three more runs Sunday.  Monday morning it was COLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.  53 degrees.  But was a good time to haul ass.  No one on the sand but me the wife and the green Mantis.   One straight the GPS read 89 MPH fourth gear 4700 RPM and 20 PSI of boost.  I wasn't even pined.  The new Ridged light bar is nice for the night time driving.  Has a good patteren to it.  Sunday got to lead Greg (Camp ground owner) and some of the big v8 boys on the dunne's and had a really good time.  Met some new people and took some newbi's out  with there new Razor's for a night time ride.  Had to keep my eye on them.  The Razor's don't like going over the peaks like we do in the buggys. All in all had a good time.  Did find two crack's that I will have to address before I go back down next month.

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

No pics of sand??  I would've thought the place would be crazy busy on holiday weekend.  Anytime the damage is repairable, its a good trip.
You can keep your CHANGE, I'd like to keep my DOLLAR.
