couldn't swallow the thought of cutting the bracing!




on a side note. What do you store car wash towels in. The wife claims she won't clean the inside of her car because she doesn't know which towels to use. I tried that argument with the laundry detergent and softener but she went off and labeled them so I'm thinking I should do the same with the towels.

Can't believe I boiled my brake fluid at the track today, gonna have to take it easier for tomorrow's session I don't want to lose brake pressure after the back straight lol.

ACtually no, RBF 600, I was overdriving though, realized how fast I can still go without slamming on the brakes on every corner before turning in, felt much faster Sunday because I was getting a lot smoother.

Stored in plastic storage containers, like from Home Depot. Lids keep dust out. Put them in my storage cabinet (you should get one, lol). Fwiw, I use woolite to wash them, with a little white vinegar (to loosen contaminants)

I will hit up HD on the way home from work today.
btw, I did... I ordered that Gladiator storage cabinet that you guys talked me into I definitely want one with lids. I use woolite to clean my towels and air dry. I didn't know that it's recommended that you wash all the different towels separately. So, the ones you wash with, should be washed separately from the ones you clean the windows, etc.. Bleh, that's getting a little ridiculous. Can't I rinse them off and then throw them all in the wash? Oh, and I ordered all new towels the other day.

Here's what I do with the towels: two piles. Pile one, the really dirty, grubby ones. Pile two, realitively clean ones. Pile one gets more vinegar than pile two. And the dryer is fine on low to medium heat, just no dryer sheets.

You're making me want to clean my ford, and I don't have time for that
