ABR-Glen Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 So, what's going on there? Any updates for us chumps stuck at home/work? We've gotten pretty spoiled with the streaming videos and play-by-play from Brother Lou lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABR-Glen Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Looks like Fubar in the lead, are they running the Miata or the BMW?TFE in second with their "new" E36, finally running to it's potential.Mustache running third ahead of Bucksnort, in an E30 showdown.Four Car Garage rounding out the top 5 at the back of the lead lap.A few other cars I recognize in the top 10, Mopar for Life, Dirty thirty and Miaro.Looks like a 3 way Subaru battle just outside the top 10, all doing a rain dance no doubt.Good to see Simon has the Failcar Saab running again.The GFDSU Miata is 18th.Chumpscott's #666 in 21stHoly Rollers way back in 28th (but has the second fastest lap so far)Appears that BAR isn't running after only 18 laps? 35 cars started, Fubar has fastest lap with a 1:51.054 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators E. Tyler Pedersen Posted June 8, 2013 Administrators Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 What a gorgeous day out here for racing. Fubar is running their stupid fast BMW and is doing well. Holy Rollers are working on their car. Apparantly solid brake lights all the time. Had some fun battles out there on the first stint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkchops22 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 It says fubar is in a miata. Are they really in a BMW? That would make more sense to the lap times. BTW, good to hear the Subaru cutting decent laps at Gingerman again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkchops22 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Sucks I had to miss this race due to work. This is one of my favorite tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators E. Tyler Pedersen Posted June 8, 2013 Administrators Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Fubar is in their white BMW with black hood. Straights just kill the car! Can pull pretty decent in the corners. Very fun track!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABR-Glen Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 New car for BAR? pics please. Tubby is probably up at BIR so he probably won't bother you much this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 What happened to Mopar and Tools? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent merkle Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 BAR new looks like old car just shinny. Mopar broke brake line...fixing nowTool ??? idk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABR-Glen Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Half way...Fubar E36 still leadsBucksnort and Mustache E30's 2nd and 3rdWRC Dropouts Turbo Legacy is best of the non-BMW's4 more BMW's in top 10 (Dirty Thirty, 4CGM, TFE, Chumpty Dumpties II)Also the Miaro and Kentucky Spirits' Z31 BAR is turning laps again, is that a 328? That would make two that I know of, will be interesting to see what the GMV is on those next year. Holy Rollers now have the second fastest lap just behind Bucksnort with a 1:50.801 Field is spreading out a bit, I'd bet tomorrow will be a dogfight.

thomasp Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Well it looks like a BMW fest out there.

Salna Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Failcar has popped another engine. Overheating while in pits may have been the start of our woes. It was great racing for the first two hours this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABR-Glen Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Congrats to Fubar, really racking up those MOV laps 8th place for Crank Yankers with the 25th fastest lap time, nicely done Better luck tomorrow for BAR and Holy Rollers. I assume the Saab will not be back tomorrow? What happened to the 666? Will GFDSU crack the top 10? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff G 78 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 The 91 Saab guys are trying to turn two bad motors into one good on. Time will tell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff G 78 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 There is a sweet old TR8 here. It sounds great, but they were in and out of the pits all day with brake issues. They have replaced almost everything, but they still have the same problem. The Tools had what they thought were ignition issues, but after replacing everything ignition related, they are pretty sure it is a fuel tank pickup problem. They have the tank out now trying to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFDSU.racing-CJ Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 we finished 11th. my fast lap at 2:03.900 in lap 32 held up till Joel took over. apparently, after 5 hours turning laps, an old Miata can run 2 hours between 2:02 and 1:57.5....show off :/jenny ran all day without breaking. after the race we realized we had nearly pulled the nuts off of the top of the shock rod. some tapping and threading didn't fix it, but welding the nut back on did . thanks Bucksnort for the welder! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent merkle Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Day two, chance of rain later in the afternoon but this morning is calm and warmer than yesterday morning. Friday night clear beautiful starry sky... last night the sound of generators welders hammers two cycle blenders making margaritas and laughter, and occasional cheer when the car up on jackstands fired again. I say we have another great day of racing ahead of us. Oh yeah and the food here at Gingerman is excellent... EXCELLENT! My volunteer crew is absolutely top-notch also, thank you Sheila Tom Dave Keith KeithII Jeff Lori TomII & Stiggy!Vern and his corner crew is also top not.... this whole place and all those people are great. This has been a very good weekend so far, no reason to believe today's race won't be the same. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators E. Tyler Pedersen Posted June 9, 2013 Administrators Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 We are gearing up for Day 2 of racing. About 10 mins away from the pace car going out. Nice morning here at Gingerman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
