This. We may even catch him on the road, who knows. I think Jim is bringing a grill too, so bring a grillable lunch in a cooler if you want. I'm bringing some pop.

BWAHAHAHHA I seriously bust a gut. It's legit dude, benchracer's delight!

Game on! Looks like rain is done in eau claire, see you guys out there!

Re: Rock falls raceway, Oct. 25th, 2009- LAST EVENT OF THE YEAR!!
 

I can't wait to meet whoever decided we should get up this early so I can punch him in the face! j/k Jim :drive:. or am I :evil:?
Seriously though, looks like I'm up too late to meet at 6:30, so I'll see you guys at the track whenever I get there!

Re: Rock falls raceway, Oct. 25th, 2009- LAST EVENT OF THE YEAR!!
 

I was up till 4:10 am working on wiring all that crap in. Logger won't work yet, but I did get the switch for the 2-step to work, atleast communicate, and see that the switch was working when the clutch was depressed/not depressed. Still gotta set those all up.

Put it on a charger. Went to fire it up this morning, nothing. Car won't crank. Battery voltage is just fine, but I dunno. Either starter is dead, or the amp fuse is blown..all I can think of. I checked the wires for the ECU too, but they are ok. I'll investigate more later I guess. Right now, i'm livid. Working all night, only to fail is NOT my way of ending the year. I'm tired, and now cranky. Fuckin cars.

Have fun ya'll. Sorry I once again bailed on running this year.

Just got the call from scheides, we're rained out :( Now I'm glad I didn't leave at 5:45 like I intended because I'm already back home :)
Don't those track people know AWD has traction in the rain?! I'd offer my driveway for drag passes as an alternative, but I don't know how my new neighbors would feel about that.
Until next year I guess!

Re: Rock falls raceway, Oct. 25th, 2009- LAST EVENT OF THE YEAR!!
 

I wish there was a rain date. I'd for sure be ready for that.

Re: Rock falls raceway, Oct. 25th, 2009- LAST EVENT OF THE YEAR!!
 

Sigh, just got home. Maybe next year I guess.

Re: Rock falls raceway, Oct. 25th, 2009- LAST EVENT OF THE YEAR!!
 

Is there no rain date?

Re: Rock falls raceway, Oct. 25th, 2009- LAST EVENT OF THE YEAR!!
 

nope.

Re: Rock falls raceway, Oct. 25th, 2009- LAST EVENT OF THE YEAR!!
 

I just got up :)

RF will cancel if there is rains during the night before the race day, they can't dry their track and they don't want to deal with rain outs and pissed off people asking for refunds so in my experience they just close. :(

Next year or we can go south

Re: Rock falls raceway, Oct. 25th, 2009- LAST EVENT OF THE YEAR!!
 

*sighs* weaksauce...guess we'll have to go next year for sure. I will have the car tuned hopefully and get a new clutch in.

Re: Rock falls raceway, Oct. 25th, 2009- LAST EVENT OF THE YEAR!!
 

So I launched my car on a side road on the way home (firsttime in 2 years with this southbend) and it held awesome, did not fuse to flywheel again, but engagement felt really soft afterwards...guess if it doesn't slip I'll just leave it, I'm guessing it will hold till spring if I don't launch it.

Thx for offering to bring the trailer Jim, guess I'll put the clutch money I had set aside towards a new ACD pump and maybe that COP setup :)

Re: Rock falls raceway, Oct. 25th, 2009- LAST EVENT OF THE YEAR!!
 

Looking forward to running next year. Sucked it had to rain the one time I was going to track the car for the first time in a couple years.

Re: Rock falls raceway, Oct. 25th, 2009- LAST EVENT OF THE YEAR!!
 

^what he said..cept, first time i've tracked the car. Found out why the fuse blew. I think the cut off switch, when I relocated it, arced itself to the car when I hooked up the charger. Either way, it's all fixed. I'm going to set it up, and launch it later, to see if it works, and such. I wanna race now damnit!

Re: Rock falls raceway, Oct. 25th, 2009- LAST EVENT OF THE YEAR!!
 

Jim, I'm really curious to see how they did the prius cop's for the evo..got pics of the boots and etc? They wehre hard plastic for the prius, not that rubber like the intrepid/300m coils. Why run that cop setup? You have ignition issues? Any driver box?
