Gah. Now that I got up at 6:30 and I'm ready to go, I can't make it. I wouldn't be able to stay past noon probably. I'll help next time if there's still room!

Ready to go for the morning! This time I will remember my helmet... not I didn't love wearing Lin's bedazzled one

Are there any worker spots left/needed that would let me take pictures of the heats instead of working during one? (Registration, Setup, etc)

Haha they could be "winter wheels"

Awesome, good job guys! And we were still able to crank out 6 runs each for 3 run groups!

That sounds awesome! Party at Chris'?

Chris, after I saw your post I called my uncle. He's ran the Gatlinburg city service center for like 500 years. He said it's normal on a GM, Ford, or some Dodges with ABS. The ABS has a pressure dump that sends fluid into an accumulator instead of the line when a certain pressure is reached. This pr...

Ben, I saw a lot of people not taking the 6th run. Which is a shame because I REALLY liked getting 6 runs out of the day/entry fee and I hope we do that more!

Yep! Thanks for the help everybody! My lack of power brakes for a second after the throttle chop is not manual brakes that get assisted. I drove it without the booster line hooked up last night and without assist I barely stop the dang thing haha! I got a new check valve, new line, my uncle gave me ...

Ok, well that makes it seem like the check valve is letting some air slip by slowly when I hold the pedal. I'll grab one for sure. With the engine idling, I can press it really hard and it will stay pretty hard but goes slowly all the way to the floor. It shouldn't do that? With the engine off (or w...

Dave, Ill try step 4 and I'll also just get a new check valve. It does go to the floor when I press it really hard for about 10 seconds, is that normal? Lucas, I have instant power brakes on the first application but after that there's like a whole second of delay after I chop the throttle. Bob, I d...

Dave, I edited my post to clarify that I HAD Hawk HP+ pads, but now I don't and maybe I was just spoiled and these new cheaper pads require way more vacuum/travel to get the same stopping power as the HP+. Yeah, I'll have to dig deeper to fins a restriction or something, but there's only 3 vac lines...

The last event was a lot of fun! I have new tires (RE-11s) and new shocks, new rotors, calipers, pads, fluid, etc. but this time I had some trouble with my brake vacuum. It doesn't have enough time to pull a vacuum between brake applications. I try to either be on the throttle or on the brakes with ...

Awesome! Thanks, Mark and Steve! Apparently my forum reply notifications were going to spam. I should never leave for so long again
