Eric, asleep under the car


After we woke up Eric, we got a number of items checked off on Captain Vogler ubiquitous list. The seat belts are ancored to the floor with grade-8 hardware, roll cage is covered with foam tubes, and the sunroof opening has been covered with a panel. The regulation kill switch was wired into the ignition with less than four trips to the store for wire and connectors. The brakes were bled using some blue liquid that Kevin claims is hydraulic fluid - but could pass as Mr. Spock's Vulcan blood (or was that green?). Brian wore his racing suit to a frat party at Washington University in St. Louis in an attempt to meet more girls. He ended up hiding in the school library after a group of 2nd graders on a field trip mistook him for a Power Ranger.

Looks like you are making progress. My buddy, Stan, who used to race cars back in the 50's & 60's says to be sure and add an additive to the transmission since that is usually the first to go in a 24 hour race. He also has some other tips to share with you.
