Hey, you've got a warm body? Sweet, we need it!

Well, our 4th driver just backed out on us...we need you!

We're going to have a team of 4 drivers, probably wind up with about 3.5 hours of seat time over the course of the 2 days. Cost: $300 plus the split on fuel/tires (maybe another $75-100). We're running a pretty decent '83 BMW 320is.

We race September 12-13, tech is 9/11 afternoon & we'd need you there for registration.

I'm asking several folks trying to get any interest...I know it's last minute, but the offer is out there for the first person interested!

...but the car doesn't at this point. Ed, Jim & I spend the afternoon wrangling the fuel tanks out of the car on Sunday.

If you recall from our Spring race, we had a lot of coughing & sputtering & what felt like fuel starvation (even though it was essentially full)...or a clogged fuel filter (even though we'd changed it twice) or... We really weren't sure what was causing the issue but a look into the tank showed 27 years of corrosion and gunk getting sucked up by the fuel pump.

So, yesterday we took the tanks out & are having the main side cleaned & treated by a shop. We're only going to use the right side tank when we reinstall; first off, that tank still holds all the fuel we need and the weight savings is at least 15 pounds of hard gear plus the weight of the fuel we carried, but didn't need.

Should be a good move & we're excited to get the tank back & reinstalled in a couple weeks!
