Lost the stream and now I can't download it. Bummer. It cuts out right as he gets on it!

[David Pozzi]

I got about 10 seconds, then it stops.

[CarlC]

Worked for me.

[Orngcrush69]

I think me crushing the sun shade I bought would be great vid, if anyone has that.

[Matt@RFR]

Mark's got it...he just has to figure out how to use his camera.

[CarlC]

How many P-T guys does it take to set up a sun shade?

That was hillarious.

[MrQuick]

Hey David, I was wondering why the instructions were crumpled up in the pits! LOL!!
Keep trying the video, I think its because he's getting so many hits. Maybe right click and save as...
heres his site (http://www.imageevent.com/crazyducati916/buttonwillow)...hush hush tho. Im not supposed to share. he has several vids there.

[David Pozzi]

It finally loaded, took a while!
Man, I wanted to saw that mirror off! Jeez!
I'd like to have a video like that to show my wife the track, but not with a big mirror in the middle.

[MrQuick]

yeah the rookie didn't check it before he started taping...ha ha...next time

Show her this one but slow it down abit for a better look...im sure you saw this one before... John Wurth's hot lap (http://wurthwines.com/WMS/Videos/Buttonwillow_11-2003_a_quickest_lap_web.wmv).

[CAMAROBOY69]

Cool vids. Troy in the white corvette sure was smooth and calm. No jerking or anything and took nice lines. :cool:

[Larry Callahan]

I tried to download the video a few times without luck. If it's a hosting problem let me know if I can help. I can always host it here.

[MrQuick]

Hi Larry, did you try his site? You might have better luck there. I have video on a Hi8 tape but my computer is being a pain. I will send you something as soon as possible.

[MrQuick]

heres a Dennis fly by after our friend in the fast Mini broke...Joe Dirt (http://imageevent.com/crazyducati916/buttonwillow?p=17&n=1&m=24&c=4&l=0&w=4&s=0&z=2)

[David Pozzi]

Larry,
I had trouble viewing but the problem was it just downloads REALLY SLOW! I waited over five minutes before I even saw a start of a progress bar.

[MrQuick]

check out the link on the #9 post, you might have better luck there.

Mark's got it...he just has to figure out how to use his camera.

I did get it, it is pretty darned funny. I will try to figure out how to extract/post, but don't hold your breath. The poor sunshade, it died a terrible, cruel death. All at the hands of a small number of desperate souls trying to escape the perils of super-nova radiation (okay, well, it wasn't "that" bad out there, wait, no, yes it was.)

[MrQuick]

If anyone wants to see the group picture, heres a link (http://hometown.aol.com/gumbydmit22/trackday.html) to my homepage...that poor sun shade...the aftermath was gruesome :barf: sorry if it seems like im dragging this out...but im not trying

It's late, I will work at organizing them later. If anyone wants a hi-res version, PM me.

PS-shots 9-13 show the true mechanical aptitude of this group :hammer:

[Orngcrush69]

Great pix MrQuick! I think next time I'll just rent a garage.

[MrQuick]

Hey David, you know that was a great idea, even the popsicles stayed cold... are you with us at Speed Ventures in August? Definately renting a garage.LOL

[Q ship]

are you with us at Speed Ventures in August? Definately renting a garage.LOL
Are you kidding?!? I think the heat fried your brain!! August? Buttonwillow? Jeeezz.

If I had a car, I'd be thinking about it-I'm just as sick as you guys.

[KrisHorton]

What is Speed Ventures all about? Anyone have more info on what that's like?

Kris

[Q ship]

Hey Kris, here's their website. https://www.speedventures.net/HOME.ASP
Good group to run with.

[Mean 69]

Willow Springs big course 8/13 and 14..... Axle seal fixed, new carb on the way, oil is changed, still looking into the oil smoke thingie... Hmm.

(BTW, the oil blow was not from the PCV, the hose is dry as a whistle. Bummer. Rings might still not be seated fully, I hope I don't have to tear it down).

I can't believe I am actually thinking about it, I probably suffered the worst from the heat than anyone, or at least I complained about it the most!

Vrroooom.

August is bad for me. Going to Portugal and Cabo San lucas. Sucks to be me.

[CarlC]

Willow in August? Roasting, Roasting, Roasting....

[MrQuick]

its a dry heat.....yeah im getting flak about it...looks like infinion in sep. then burp clinic in dec....its the girls turn.
It was hot but tolerable...I got use to it. Until I tried strapping the car down in a tank top....arm pits on the trailer edge.. 113 degree trailer edge...yipes!

[Orngcrush69]

I'm already signed up for the Aug 26th @ Buttonwillow. The powersteering fluid cooler from Detroit Speed came in today, so I'm good to go. Come on Carl, it can't get any hotter there...right???????

[Mean 69]

I'll think seriously about the 26th event. Aack. Garage time for certain!

Some friends of mine and I are thinking about renting out Streets in early September for tuning and testing. If it flys, there will be room for a few more cars. We want to keep it down to ten cars maximum to get as much track time without traffic as possible. With ten cars, the fee would be $200. It could be very, very educational too, a couple of the guys are really terrific driver/instructors. No date set, but if there is interest, PM me. It'll be mid-week, keep that in mind.

Good call on the PS cooler. Do you have a P-pump with integral reservoir, or a TC with a remote reservoir? If your's is a P-pump with reservoir you may still have some issues. I've seen two fail that had coolers.

Unfortunately, I have to work on the 26th.

[MrQuick]

Hey Mark, count me in and I maybe able to drag out 6-7 friends. Can't be this year tho...I got way too much going on.
Carl, what fluid are you guys running in your power steering systems? Did you have issues Dave?

[CarlC]

GM. It's specifically designed for Saginaw PS systems. Good heat capabilities, excellent anti-foaming, and available at every GM dealer.

[Orngcrush69]

It's just an integral pump, and I know I may still have problems even with the cooler, thanx for the tip on the fluid from GM every lil' bit helps. Mr Quick, since I have the hydraboost also, the brakes were feel'in a lil' wierd as well.
