I finished the Megan Racing Front Roll Center Adjuster install and how-to. I haven't driven the car so no review yet on how handling is affected.

See you there Pete.
Well, now I can't go. I took my dog to the doggie ER and he has been admitted for imminent surgery. They found a football size tumor in his chest. As of now, they believe the prognosis is good. But of course, there are no guarantees.

I feel really bad cancelling at the last second, for what would have been my first time instructing for FATT. I am a very reliable person and always show up (early) when and where I say I will; and do what I said I would do. I can't just dump this on Debby and wouldn't have my head in the game anyhow.

2 entries in TTC at VIR next weekend. Well, I will finally be in the top 3.

Advance congrats Matt for a podium win!
He still has to finish. I say the pressure gets to his head and he drops 4 off on every run!

More likely is some shoddily installed part breaks and I get towed in. This is what happened last time.

This must be mensa stuff. I was not aware of the roll moment arm on the S2000.

Lou, we'll keep your pup in our prayers. Having never had kids I get pretty attached to my pets and know the trauma something like this can cause. BSR knows stuff like this happens and they know who the slacker instructors are (their emergencies always happen when the track forecast is bad). Good luck with the surgery, let us know how it goes.

I dont know you personally Lou but I dont think you need to defend or explain yourself to anyone here. Going to the track is a hobby and a lot of things take precedence. Hope everything goes ok with the surgery.

Not much to update. We drove him to the Hope Center in Vienna and are waiting for the ultrasound results, prior to the surgery tonight.
