The Blue Ball Lives

Post by cuda6666 » Fri Feb 08, 2008 10:47 am

Managed to bolt Raj's roll bar into the Legacy. Does this mean I'll have to stay six inches further away from the edge of the track? :lol:

Be careful Frank , metal has what engineers call " memory " -- Raj's roll bar may want to " remember " to crash again :lol:

Don't forget to bring knobby mud tires and a garden hose! :lol:

Looking forward to seeing you at the track again this year, Frank!

Six inches may be a little too much ... just stay of the edge when tracking out for the straights and you'll do fine. :wink:

I agree... Raj is good people. He shipped me a set of Nitto NT-01s this week and wouldn't deposit my check until I looked at the tires and told him that they were good. The first beer's on me at WGI, Raj.


(Of course, I had to make sure that these weren't the tires that were on the car for "the incident".) ;)

Frank, I hope that you won't now start going off course almost every session. I guess that type of driving is acceptable now with no consequenses, so no big deal.

hey, all you have to do with Raj's tires is use a small a stick to remove the mud & they're as good as new no prob! :wink:

Remnants of the BBoJ are spread pretty widely now (including me), so there will be ample opportunity to find out if the parts are cursed or not.
