Thanks Ted & Robert for taking care of this. Hotel appears to be nice and is not far from the fairgrounds.

It appears to have a bar for late night bench racing.

[Kevin]

Noticed that too Dennis. Wouldn't mind station with other zr-1ers. I miss those late nights

[dredgeguy]

Smoking a few Cubans in the parking lot!

Are you talking rear fascia?

[spork2367]

Are you talking rear fascia?

It's the piece that includes the rear quarters all the way around the rear hatch.

[G8nightman]

Just registered!

Depending on the heat and sun, it may not be advisable to tackle this big of a job.

Depending on how you do the bonding you will need a glue gun, I have one, I can pack, I will only be their Saturday, I like when you install the roof section and install the new roof cap.


Good luck!

[Kevin]

I've got a set of frame stiffeners that need installed...anyone up for the challenge? ;)

Just being a bit facetious. It will be a time consuming job. Hope to work on it this fall.

How much weight will the stiffeners add?

[Kevin]

How much weight will the stiffeners add?

less then my fat *** does when I climb in the car. vette2vette lists it at 25lbs

[Paul Workman]

I'm booked and registered (just now).

Kevin, I'd be glad to install and test your frame stiffeners for you. I figure a year ought to be long enough (on my car). What do you say to that??:dancing:p

[Riviera]

Woo HOO less than a month to go!!!! Anything further on go-carting?

[Paul Workman]

Not me. I only do it for real, it seems!! :o But, I'll watch YOU over a brew. I might even take some pix to be used later to show ppl what a good time they missed, or for blackmail... whichever suits at the moment! :dancing

Yay tickets arrived today. question. Is doing an oil change too mundane or problematic to do at the maintenance tent?

[Kevin]

Yay tickets arrived today. question. Is doing an oil change too mundane or problematic to do at the maintenance tent?

the only issue I can see is getting the car in the air to get under it to get to the drain plug

[Vette Guy]

I believe an oil change may be too probelmatic for the maintenance tent. Mostly the need to carry a messy oil catch pan, and dispose of the oil. Also, I recommend allowing about 2 hours for the LT5 to drain.

Regarding go-karts: if interested in attending go-kart races on Friday, August 26th, please email us at Events@zr1netregistry.com in order to sign-up. Based upon the number of interested parties, we are considering reserving the track. If we do not have enough interest, we'll still go, but will join the regular Friday evening crowd.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Best Regards,
Mark

[Mystic ZR-1]

Mark
Got anymore info on the go kart racing?
Thanks
D

[Riviera]

I thought it might be too messy, but it doesn't hurt to ask right? (Notice I didn't say eh! - LOL). Tripler is already signed up for Karting. As much as I would love to show you guys a thing or two a foot issue prevents me from participating - darn!!!

[Kevin]

I'd like to know the cost to the carting before I sign up

[Riviera]

In a previous post one of the members mentioned renting a car and leaving their Z at the field. Does anyone have any info on car rental locations close to either the hotel or the event itself?Called Clarion Hotel but they had no info whatsoever. Thanks

[Mystic ZR-1]

There's an Enterprise Car Rental location in
downtown Carlisle. Within a mile or less of
the fairgrounds. Google Enterprise Carlisle PA

[A1990]

I believe this is what we are looking at: http://www.autobahnspeed.com/locations/harrisburg-pa-indoor-go-karts/#sectionLocation

We will be discussing this tomorrow night at our board meeting but at a cost of $1400 for the Registry to rent the whole facility for an hour, with the numbers that have expressed interest we will probably just show up and ride.

The cost is $20 for one 14 lap race or $50 for 3 14 lap races. Everyone must have a racing license for $6.

As you can see from the website these karts require helmets and reach speeds up to 50mph.

As if I wasn't bummed enough that I will be out of the country while Carlisle is taking place this year, now I see the go-kart option. Great addition, gents. I hope it is a success and we can do it again next year when I will be there finally.

Hope you have a dry event this year. I look forward to the pics!

[Paul Workman]

We discussed that, among the many preparations for Carlisle, and oil change IS a bit mundane, you're right. But, more than that, there's the lift issues and then the disposal problems. So, oil changes won't be on the list of activities.

However, there will be some demos, including a plenum pull and tech session. And there will be a demo on shine products, including various polishes, etc., as well as some tools (e.g., buffers, etc) that are quite good and quite popular with the WAXERS among us! All sorts of goodies, too.

See ya there!

Now if you were to offer TB Coolant Blocking at the Injector Housing that Plenum Pull Demonstration would take on a whole new meaning :D

I have Plenum Pulls now down to 5 minutes ;)

Oh, yeah? I can name that tune in 4 MINUTES! LOL!

Hummmm... TB buypass, ya say? Another potato for the (Carlisle) stew pot! Hafta give that some thought, Cliff!;)

No.....not TB bypass.......It is TB coolant Blocking at the Injector Housing. It can be done without removing the Injector Housings but you should remove the two Injector Housing Coolant Manifolds. (Have Heat available for that).

From then on never use anything (gasket sealer or Permatex) on Plenum gasket, Reuse Plenum gasket several times, just a bit over hand tighten Plenum Bolts, and Plenum removal like removing gas cap...(well....almost) :D

Speaking of which......always loosen gas cap to take gas pressure off fuel lines when loosing fuel connections passenger side of Plenum to remove that rear passenger side Plenum Bolt.

I will see if I can do 4 minutes today using a drill to speed up Plenum Bolt removal :sign10:

These Demonstrations you suggest are very interesting and should be of interest to many. Demonstrations are a Great Idea for Carlisle :thumbsup:
Some of these Modifications can even be done on Members ZR1s that driver to Carlisle.

[Kevin]

any chance we can install a no flex kit ;) kidding. Mostly.

You mean you DON'T use a drill to remove the bolts??? How archaic!! :razz:

Yep. Blocking TB coolant - is what I did as well. Really makes a future plenum pull a piece O cake. And, dittos on the plenum gasket reuse, except after my porting I found I had to use some Permatex between the gasket and the IH (due to the thinning of the metal between the runner [as result of the porting] and the coolant passage.) But, to reuse the gasket multiple times, before laying the gasket on the IH, I spray the plenum side (only!) of the gasket with silicon spray to reduce the chance of gasket sticking to the plenum when the plenum is lifted, thus possibly being damaged.

KEVIN! Ain't U got those stiffening bars on that car yet?;)

[Kevin]

KEVIN! Ain't U got those stiffening bars on that car yet?;)

don't have access to a lift! I'm tempted to pay a shop to do it at this point as I'm "not allowed to buy more parts till I install the ones I already have"

[Paul Workman]

A lift?? Heck, Marc Haibeck does everything off of jack stands! You can ask him when you see him (@ Carlisle).
