Ellesedil Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Free ride in a race car? next thing you'll be wanting to fix your wagon to "go faster" on the race track. It's a "free" ride in a race car. With donation. The details were lacking, so I have no idea what that actually entails. I'd be more interested in the paced lap, though. I wonder if they'd let my wife and kids in the car since it's paced. It'd be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Gator Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Barring unforeseen drama, I will definitely be at Pacific Raceways Fri-Sat-Sun May 13-15. If anyone in the Seattle metro wants to buy my old Cobb axle back dual exhaust let me know to bring it up there.

boxkita Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I'll be at Pacific Raceways this weekend. Friday/Saturday/Sunday. No wagon. Just me inspecting cars. Probably have to do a detailed inspection of a wagon or two. I'm sure the removal of illegal parts will be required which may or may not fit my car.

Sgt.Gator Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Has Boxkitty taken delivery of the Silver Eagle? Oh heck yes! I left it for him at Pacific Raceways the day it broke. I have a bunch of stuff for him to collect, I hope he can come to the Big NW meet so I can get rid of it. Otherwise it's going up on the member's for sale soon.

Caboobaroo Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 But no 3.0Rs. That was disappointing. If my wife's cAR was road worthy, we would have had the only third Gen Legacy with the 3.0 in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Gator Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I'll be at PIR this Friday-Sunday crewing on two Factory Five Subaru donor 818Rs. One of the teams is Retro Racing who I'm going with THunderhill 25 hour race in December. If you're curious to see these cars up close they will both be paddocked together.

Sgt.Gator Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Well we found some weak points in both cars. One 818 we couldn't get to run right at all. He could rev to 8K in the pits, but under load on track it wouldn't go over 4K and ran super rich. And the really odd thing, he just came off the dyno in Seattle where they just finished up tuning it! The 103 degree air temp made working on the hot engines almost unbearable. We tried but failed to find the problem. So he packed up and headed home, but first he loaned his alternator to the above pictured 818 of Retro Racing. That car had a lightweight Powermaster alternator but it wasn't doing the job. So we swapped the alt over. Retro will stop by Seattle on the way back to Vancouver BC and return it Sunday. Today Retro is only racing in the Enduro late in the afternoon. <Last Race of the day>. We'll spend the morning getting me up to speed on the build so I can be useful at Thunderhill 25. Since he's only racing today I'll be heading home tonight. Two 100+ days is plenty! Nothing like a race track to find the weak points in man and machine. "Good Judgement comes from Experience.
