Ah... Enrique, you must have a little antifreeze in your eyes from the recent unfortunate occurance with your Spider. Look closely at that engine and pay particular attention to the shape of the cam cover...

 But you are right about the antifreeze in my eyes... Don't know how, but with the top and windows up on that clear morning, I actually felt a slight discomfort in my eyes first, then realized there was a funny smell, and then looked at the gauges, only to see the temp rising! You have too much experience for me, George! 
Best regards,

Back to the battle...
For all of you loyal followers of the John & Bud autocross competition, here's the course map for the next installment scheduled on May 6th. Stay tuned here as the protagonists whip their competitive urges onward with an anticipated war of words leading up to the next showdown (notice how I try to stay on a "higher plane" above the conflict, but am not above stirring the pot a little?).
And... the mystery driver Zuniga threatens to join the fray!

What's happening? Is the Conedriver ready to put John and Budsy through some more schooling soon. I hear the John's engine is done and I'm waiting to get my money back from that shifty New Yorker. |

Not this weekend but I believe next weekend is the next installment. I didn't make the last race. I pulled an all nighter from sat at 8 am till Sun 2 pm working straight trying to get the car up and going. When I saw coolant leaking from a insert'ed exhaust stud hole...I knew then I was screwed for the last race. Called and made the cancellation. But rejoice came at around 2 pm on Sunday during the maiden voyage and see performed extremely well. I think a trip to George's dyno buddy might be in order.
Best Regards,
John M

I registered, but I have no idea if my favorite car will be ready, so I may just take my vintage '74.
Best regards,
