Eman911 Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 My disassembled race car suggests it is too soon to talk about Road America, but is it? 43 entries with almost 60 days out, looks like a good turnout! I hope to make it 44 soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Shay Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Team Ludicrous Speed with be there! LOTS of work on the car for reliability issues and small improvements. New driver strategy for this race . Hope to have new brakes on the car and maybe have pads last two days. Pads haven't lasted two days at road america for us yet. We currently have a spark plug soaking in penetration oil that doesn't want to come out. Hope we aren't pulling the motor and head... Looks like several fast cars will be there. It will be tough competition as always. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BollingerChump Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 This will be the first event for Over Engineered Motorsports in our new to us/old lemons '95 Celica. We have the cage updated/modified to fit our drivers and are almost done rebuilding the engine, just need to drop the engine in and put some new brake consumables on and we should be ready to go. Looks like a good entry list so far, should be a fun attempt at finishing both days for us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnpickard79 Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Low Farm Racing will be there, if the platform swap is complete with our e46, if not with our older, slower blue-er aw11 mr2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gkuhn41 Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 This will be Two Brothers first event EVER looking forward to it though. Roll cage is getting updated this weekend, trying to work through some fueling issues with the garbage stock fuel injection that comes on a 80's Mercedes. Our goal is to run all 16 hours and stay out of the way. In the supplemental rules it shows the full course, i am assuming were running the bend and not the kink and that is just a generic overview? Also is there any test/tune on friday or just tech? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those who love that debate, you can always go reread the 2017 version. I think that is why Bill ported all of the old threads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gkuhn41 Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 NO NO NO debate, id prefer to run the bend in these cars lol. I was just clarifying for a few team members that the bend wasn't included in the supplemental rules drawing. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entry available on the website, I think its $300 and ChampCar only IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, for Hotels, the Victorian Village in Elkhart Lake is the official hotel again. I believe rooms are $67 a night fees included right now. ~5 minutes from the track and close to some good places to eat and drink. Cannot wait for this race! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

55mini Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Hey to the guy that started this thread, it is miss labeled! NON OFFICIAL ???? Ok just being picky and John get that thing together and no I am not towing your trailer again. Hope the Excursion is all rebuilt and up to the task. Always a fun race to start the year with and we are all looking forward to a good solid and clean race to get the year off once again to a good start. We have plans to also do the practice day to see if all the winter work stays together??? Wait we did not do any??????? See you all soon! Had to toss the south thing in their as we brought that back from Barber even if it is not spelled right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eman911 Posted March 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 I think the truck is back to 100%. I have a short car hauling job on Saturday that will be a good test. Unless disaster strikes we plan on taking part in test and tune as well as we have MANY demon tweaks to shake down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are from another part of the country, the town of Elkhart Lake is really cool. It is almost like you went back in time to small-town America. No McDonald’s or other drive through. Just quaint restaurants and shops. Definitely the place to stay, and very close to the track too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
