ML350 is at dealer getting everything installed, they are installing 10,000 lb after market hitch because the factory setup is currently not available. Also installing electronic controller. Dealer said that they have used the same setup on other ones without issues, so (knock on wood) I hope to be fine. They are also going to test with with one of the service managers boat/trailer tomorrow. trailer weighs 2300 lbs and the ML will tow 7200, so I im not pushing it too much.

Also, do you know of a good place in/near Vegas that I can store the trailer? No reason for me to bring it back to OH when the car will stay in Pahrump until the spring when I tow it back here.

Cory,
Congrats on the trailer! Leave it at the club. They only charge $50/ month storage in the trailer lot. talk to donna about it.

You better start practicing putting grease on your ass to get in and out. LOL

jplotus · 07-23-2008, 07:16 PM

17 at Buttonwillow as of today with 17 days to go I am sure we will reach our goal of 20+ cars. Also i just spoke with John from forcedfed and they are bringing there 380 car again. As for the gumball 3000, Aaron expects to have over 200 people from the media and crew as well as their cars there. It should make for a fun night. And no, they are not staying in Buttonwillow.LOL
Were are you :
Kyle S.
Ryan H.
Tim
Manly- confirmed
Peter- mechanical maybe
Aj- Out
John forcedfed- confirmed

cory1000 · 07-23-2008, 07:34 PM

just wait til you see the seat installed to see how hard it will be to get in and out then... Seat is in fixed position also

Is it going to be like the last time at Buttonwillow, all the Lotus cars and 3-4 other cars in the run group?

John I am definitely not going to be able to run on track that weekend though I may still come up. By the time the car gets tuned there will be almost zero breakin miles on at that time and I dont want to take the new motor straight to the track first thing.

No, he only has four run groups. There will plenty of track and if you want to jump in another group he is usualy open to the idea. So the format will be mixed run groups. The time trial will be at the end of the day Sunday.

Jack on vacation :
Log onto elise talk about 4 am back to sleeep at 5
Wake up read the paper-Thinking about the track
Take a walk on the shore-Thinking about the car
Eat breakfast -Thinking about the mods on the car
Go into town-Thinking about the 211
Have lunch - Thinking how to beat Tom H. at buttonwillow
Take a stroll in town- making sure not to step on the cracks-practicing hitting the apex.
Deciding what to do next since its only 2 p.m. and you have done everything you can do in martha vineyard.
call shinoo about the new mod
Plan the next Jack day
Call the tire guy for the next set of fuc*ing sticky tires
Order some cuban cigars laced with speed. LOl We miss you at the track
