New Trailer






Pretty happy with this deal for 1800 bucks, pulls like a dream, 4 brakes, LED lights.....
Ready to rock to VIR Baby!!!!

VIR CONVOY

Are we leaving close to the same time? And if so, we should convoy and enjoy the road trip.

We plan on going down 81 to 64, 64 to 29, and down 29 the rest of the way. We plan on leaving Friday morning between 8 and 9.

I know Greg and Paul are going down Thursday, but anyone else leaving Friday morning?

I just HURT the FOCI big frown

Well, on the way into my neighborhood tonight on the way home from work I did a 1st gear pull. After boost I noticed something not right ..

Think I blew a vacuum line or something, but cant find it. Idles like crap, lean as hell, and only 4 lbs of vacuum on the meter.
Called Billy, he is busy and told me to take it else where....SO, I called Torey at Excessive and they are going to take a look at it and say they can get me ready for VIR.

I sure hope so, and good thing I am picking up my trailer tomorrow. I will drag it to them on Sat morn if not Friday night...

Wish me the best, I don't want to miss this weekend.

How ready for VIR are you?

We're leaving in a week for the first big track event of the year. There's going to be 7 or 8 of us going together, or at least pitting together when down there. How close are you to being ready?

I have changed my oil and filter, flushed out my old brake fluid and replaced it with new, installed my Odyssey battery, and gotten my number plates ready. I also got a microphone to go with my new video camera so that might help with wind noise in the vert.

Here's my list of what I still need to do:

Change wheels to rain tires/wheels
Switch to high density roll bar padding
Charge chatterbox
empty trunk and remove floor mats
Pack clothes ( why do I always write that down, you'd think I'd notice I don't have luggage)
Pack numbers, maps, tech sheet, helmet, collar, etc
Charge camera
Mount microphone

I plan to do most of this stuff this weekend. The trailer is packed and just needs to be hooked up on Thursday when I leave, though I might leave my air tank at home to give me more room to take the pop-up, and just bum air off of others.

Tow Hooks on a Mustang

So... like... where does one mount a tow hook on a Mustang to allow ones vehicle to be extricated from a gravel pit without ripping the front bumper off (or worse)??

Talk amongst yourselves....

Brake controllers and Trailers

Looks like I am going to pull the trigger tomorrow on my first car hauler. Look out now, I can gut the lil foci and shed all that weight!


Brake controllers, is there any major diff between the models, or is this one of those things that works or it does not work?


I bought the Hopkins 47235 from pep Boys last night and plan on installing it tonight.

Any thoughts before I get into this?

Thanks,
