My project for the weekend......and a little tire smoke too lol

This car has always had a little air bubble in the front brake circuit that just wouldn't give up and come on out causing the line lock to never be able to hold enough pressure. I had the calipers off for a repaint along with the rotors and master which were never painted and covered with flash rust. Anyway about the time I was finishing a thunderstorm rolled through soaking the roads and flooding the front of my garage lol which left me to test the line lock in the garage. This was the first test and I had no idea what the car would do (the front fender is only 2-1/2" from the garage door frame) lol Enjoy

If you didn't say, "Watch this!" before you did that, you should have. That phrase precedes most catastrophic accidents.

As long as we don't get rained out by this hurricane moving up the coast, I should have the 65 there showing with the mid atlantic chapter of the OCA. We will be located right above the tunnel in turn 4 under the stands. I am not a member of the OCA, but was invited through an old aquaintance. It will give me a chance to meet some more of the members and see if it's an organization I would like to be a part of.

I lived within 20 minutes of the speedway for 10 years. I'm now about an hour from it. All back roads......nice for cruisin along.
