Fun weekend, even if it was kinda cold yesterday. White Group is getting faster (except for me
). I was doing my best to 'smoke screen' faster cars into submission, but it didn't work as well as I hoped. Saturday was interesting, as Michael's car developed a cracked cam oil line during the first session. After scrambling around for an hour or two trying to source a replacement, he was able to get everything back together for the third run session. You know, the session where *my* car cracked the same damn oil line! :XX Sad thing is this happened to me at WG last year, and I kept a spare in my track kit. Only I gave the spare to someone else at the DE last Novemeber, and forgot to order a new one during the offseason. Luckily the same guys who scrounged up parts for Michael were able to poach a line for me off another engine they had in their shop.
Sunday was less eventfully (happily!), although a few Dorki-mobiles were sprouting well-earned dirt stripes
Got to ride with Dirk in his 914-6 a couple times Friday -- boy does that car seem fun! They were slow laps though, so I wasn't able to really see what he/ it can do. He extended me an invite to ride along at 'normal' speeds later in the weekend, but my oil line problem kept me busy in between run sessions. Dang thing still seeps at the banjo fitting even after 3 rounds of retightening; may need to replace the washers.
Met several new Dorki members there as well; nice to see you guys! I think I'm going to send in my application for the April Schattenbaum event -- I don't think I can hold out until June for the next Potomac DE
(not going to MO)
