Well, after 2 years off here I am again. I've picked up a co-driver and committed to running the 2020 season. We'll be at Peru Pro, Bristol double, Oscoda Pro, Pro Finale, and the car will be at Nationals... I will only be able to drive it if we run Thursday/Friday unfortunately... co-driver is planning to run it regardless of run days.
Setup change highlights: Going to the Yokohama A052s on my 17x9 Rota Titans, we'll have PS4S's for rain I'm looking at some mild spring rate changes for this year... have been running 400/400 on the KW V3s, I have pairs of 350 and 450 rate springs as well to mix and match. I'm switching to a Perrin 2.5" for the cat-back, front portions are still Nameless. The Nameless cat-back portion had been repaired a few times, and interfered with the Mann RSB, so I'll be able to run the Mann bar without contact issues. I've had issues with killing 2 Odyssey gel cell AGM batteries in 2 years. Looking at maybe an alternative. I don't trust running Li-Ion with an electrical system not designed to charge them properly (which I guess joke is on me killing AGMs anyway) I'm also replacing all of my wheel bearings and wheel studs just as preventative maintenance. That's about it. Otherwise the car is set up as it was when I listed it for sale 2 years ago lol

Odd, I've been dailying the Odyssey PC680 for over 2 years now without any issues, it even sat for a week over christmas and started up just fine. Then again my car hasn't really seen much below ~40°F other than a few frosty mornings. Pretty happy for $140 to replace my dead OE battery.

Thanks for the suggestion Kyle. I will probably give that a try. The re-start technology sounds perfect as I'm thinking I have a parasitic draw issue somewhere.
I thought it was that I left my bluetooth dongle in the OBD port for a few weeks without driving it the first time, but when it happened again without the bluetooth dongle in, I'm back to the drawing board.

Not sure what my national schedule is this year -- no Crow's Tour makes me real sad, and Vegas (and Arizona) are far. It's 950 miles to Vegas and 1400 to AZ. Sprint Nats is 1650....
Packwood Tour and Pro might be the only thing I make. My setup is the same as last year except that I found a used Karcepts bar and installed that yesterday, and I have some A052s to try out. Also I did a new Exedy OEM clutch and flywheel on Friday night. After 700+ runs the original clutch wasn't feeling great and came out looking not spectacular lol. Still need to put some more miles on it as I've only driven it around the block. It was only about 4 hours to pull the motor, do spark plugs, valve cover gaskets and new clutch, and get the motor put back in. |

Sorry to deliver bad news, but I believe this year they are going with a Tuesday/Thursday, Weds/Friday run order.

You're about a month behind. They redacted that schedule.

Good, I lost track and gave up reading the thread on another Forum.

It's an interesting idea, and it seemed like some were really for it, and some were really against it. I was really in the don't care category as it doesn't change my time off needed for Nats, but could certainly hurt others who live closer.

My tentative schedule:
Dixie Tour (if I get the car together) Charlotte Pro (if I get the car together) Grenada Pro (I guess, co-driver said no after last year) Spring Nats Bristol Double Finale/Nats Co-driver and I talked about trying to do the Packwood events and bumming around the northwest for a week if we can score rides (STX or anything really). Probably do some combo of Peru/Oscoda events if I can't hit Packwood. Probably try some DriveAutoX events at some point, too. |

Debating between Vegas and Fontana Pro, heard good things about the Vegas site so I'm leaning that direction but entry list looks pretty meager right now. Definitely in for Crow's and Packwood, going to do the week of tourist stuff with the wife in-between but unless I get hooked like an addict that might be it until Nat's assuming the season goes well.
Did contingency stuff get posted yet or am I slow off course as well? |
