Just got off the phone with ducvet.

My 750 is junk.

I'm supposed to go to MI on the 28th.

This sucks.....

I could take the Monster.

There is a 750 motor available for around $650.

Or I could buy a 996 for $6K asking price....probably less.

I don't want to decide.

Ok... I'll decide.... Get the 996.

Don't junk the 750. Wait a few months, get the motor right before winter (should be cheap). Spend the winter installing it and tweaking it....

you decide yet dp?

I'm having another beach weekend  ;D

Have fun @ GP guys!!

I need sleep....

Hi Tini.

I wanna go to the beach. Do they allow you to drink at the beach? I know beaches in VA don't allow you to drink (but, oddly, the Navy base with a beach in VA Beach allows it - even has the quickie mart close by).

Morning.

What happened?!

The left engine cover is fracturing around the bearing race and leaking oil.

Bearing is fine.

Main bearing not so fine.

If my next track day was at NHMS I'd JB weld the cover on the inside and run it.

I'm not driving 1K miles in each direction with a known possible grenade.

Anyone else have any interesting storms yesterday?

We had hail the size of marbles.
