  2. I have seven (7) BFG R1-S and at least nine (9) Hoosier R7's from racing the past two years. These tires all have at least 8 heat cycles on them, and are therefore are past their prime for SRS BZNS racing. However, they are PERFECT for track days and local autocross! $25 / each or $80 a set. The more you buy, the better the deal you get. Really don't want to store these for the winter!
  3. It appears this puppy is sold. Buyer picks up tomorrow. Lock'er up.
  4. 10 x 10 EZ-Up Canopy. This is a heavy duty "Vantage" model (https://www.ezup.com/vantage-g3.html). It has served us well since we went to the open trailer a few years ago. Withstands Nebraska winds - has held up in conditions that have toppled lesser canopies. Overall good "racer' condition with some wear on the fabric where it rubs on the frame. I simply put racers tape where it rubs to protect the fabric. http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r228/31rx7/For%20Sale%20Items/20180926_124545_zpsiqddadln.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r228/31rx7/For%20Sale%20Items/20180926_124612_zpsawbqwcaa.jpg The photo shows where it is set up in my garage, and adjusted for (insert name of favorite vertically challenged CR member), but it extends to accommodate vertically blessed folks like (insert name of favorite vertically gifted CR member) also. I do not have the carrying case for this. Reason for selling: Bought a storage box for the trailer and this one doesn't fit in it (63" tall folded up) and so I got another one.

  6. Thanks. Is it for a 2001? The 2001 is slightly different than the 2002+.
  7. 2001 Honda Civic EX with generally known history. Car came from a friend in Maryland. Our nephew bought it in 2014, and then sold it to our daughter in 2017. The basics: - Car drives great, looks reasonable. Minor scuffs and dings typical for a 17 year old vehicle. - Well equipped with PW, PDL, Keyless entry, sunroof, remote trunk release, AM/FM/CD with Bluetooth. - Manual transmission. - Rated 37 mpg highway, 32 mpg city. - 191,000 miles. - Tires are 8 months old, lots of life in them. Brakes are at about 50%. - Everything works except the A/C. The A/C Compressor needs replaced. - Just changed oil and filter. - The rear bumper cover has some damage, but is not unsightly. See photos. - The front hood has a gap when closed. It latches fine, but may need adjustment. - Will be due for a timing belt in the next 10,000 miles The car is ready to go for the winter. This is a great 1st car, student car, or a back and forth to work car. I have it advertised on CL for $1500. $1200 is my bottom number. May take guitars, motorcycles (no projects), S197 Mustang parts in partial trade. Email or PM me or call sic won pho phi sic won tree pho won too. http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r228/31rx7/2004%20Civic%20EX%20-%20FOR%20SALE/20180923_104732%201_zpscbdybdls.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r228/31rx7/2004%20Civic%20EX%20-%20FOR%20SALE/20180923_104724_zpsnnectrex.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r228/31rx7/2004%20Civic%20EX%20-%20FOR%20SALE/20180923_104716_zpsyfqonuym.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r228/31rx7/2004%20Civic%20EX%20-%20FOR%20SALE/20180923_104705_zpskri96fyc.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r228/31rx7/2004%20Civic%20EX%20-%20FOR%20SALE/20180923_104912%201_zpsklg52vn7.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r228/31rx7/2004%20Civic%20EX%20-%20FOR%20SALE/20180923_104756%201_zpsm9jfklu8.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r228/31rx7/2004%20Civic%20EX%20-%20FOR%20SALE/20180923_104824%201_zpshbiikczs.jpg

  12. A set of black Genuine Honda OEM carpet mats for 2006 to 2014 Honda Civic. Excellent condition. No stains or marks, just ^very slight wear around the driver's heel. Not 100% certain on years as the bag they are in is for rubber mats and I have had trouble cross referencing the part number. Looking online it is very similar to the years noted. $25? OBO / Trade for something. Puppy not included.

  18. After the cool down lap, we pulled in to the pits and made it back to the paddock. ^I took of my helmet, Hans, and gloves and sat there for a few seconds. ^I was wiped out! Got out of the car and talked to Paul Azan paddocked next to us who was getting ready to run his E46 BMW in STU. ^Travis made it back and wisely handed me a bottle of water - you forget these things when you are decompressing. Eventually everyone made it back to the paddock. Kathy gave me a bottle of Basil Hayden's bourbon - highly recommended. Took a few photos. ^Matt Downing came over and congratulated me on the finish before he packed up and headed out. ^After I re-energized, we got everything packed up and watched the STU race and start of the HP race. EPILOGUE: It's a week after my race, almost to the hour. Been a busy week - after being gone for two and a half weeks in September with the Solo Nationals and Runoffs, business was backed up. Plus, with the Corvette gone, I've started thinking about a new DD / autocrosser. And, the kids both need work on their cars. A lot of emotions and thoughts surround the past season, and I am still sorting it all out. Some thoughts in no particular order: - Gotta get better at starts, particularly when starting from the middle of the grid or further back. - The car goes on a diet, and maybe me also. ^At least 50 lbs in total. - Really happy that the car has been dead reliable. ^Short of changing brake pads and oil, the only repair was a RF hub that I replaced after the PittRace weekend. - There's some work that needs done under the hood. ^With the weight and gearing disadvantage the car has, I really need to help it with more power. - Similarly, going to write a letter to the Comp Board to get rid of the restrictor plate. - Those Hoosier R7's rock! - Pretty satisfied with my racecraft. ^Room for improvement but I am much better than I used to be as far as setting up cars two or three turns ahead. - Also happy with my concentration and focus. ^Only went in the grass once this year, and it was pretty minor. - Can be more aggressive with my driving. ^On the flip side, there are no new marks or dents on the car! Overall, it was a great year. ^We accomplished most of our goals; the only one we missed was being in the top half at the Runoffs. ^For the races we attended, the hosting regions and staff was all great. ^ Many thanks to the organizers, volunteers, and course workers for their tireless efforts so we drivers can have some fun! ^Major thanks to: - Travis Robuck for helping out all year at the track - Dave Wenger and The Northend Wrench for mechanical and prep assistance, and telling me when I was about to do something stupid with a wrench - Greg Vandesluis for ongoing consultation and support - Andy Toth for spending the week at the Runoffs - Amanda and Andrew for coming over to the Runoffs. ^It was great to have them there. First time we've been on a quasi-vacation in years. And most of all, to the love of my life, Kathy, for support all through the year. ^While I get the car prepped and on the trailer, she does everything else to make sure we have a place to stay and something to eat. Plus, business was slow the first half and money was tight, and she figured out how to finance it. Much appreciated. For 2018, we aren't sure what our plans are. They won't involve the Runoffs since they are at Sonoma in California (unless somebody writes me a big check to transport the car and fly us out there). ^At a minimum, we will hit a couple of the iconic tracks like Watkins Glen, VIR, maybe Road Atlanta ^and Road America, plus the Mid Ohio races. ^Probably a couple track days to give Kathy and Travis a chance to drive the car. See you at the track next year!
  19. First couple laps were clean and intense. ^The Acura I passed at 9:00 in the video was a car I looked at last year and decided not to get. Self affirmation. All week long I had been getting walked out of 6a and you can see at 9:07 a good example. ^Damn. But, the car was solid through 7, 8, and 9, and I coud close in entering 12 (9:50). ^Turn 13 killed me - too low for third gear and too high for 2nd. As a foreboding, the red and silver Miata and I had a great battle throughout the race (10:10) courtesy of the fact he kept running off track! ^He'd get by me and then make a mistake and go into the weeds. ^ Lap 3 things started to fall into a pace. ^I'd pass somebody, somebody else would drop out, another car would catch up and get by. ^I was happy I did not see the other Mustang and Camaro in my mirror. ^As things spread out on Lap 4, I really started to focus on getting my lines right and exit speeds in 6a and 13. ^Laps 5 through 10 were pretty uneventful. ^Just hit my marks, and work to get quicker. Chased the silver Miata for awhile, closing in a bit but not enough to pass. The car was really good at this portion of the race - did what I asked and very consistent. ^Worked not to overwork the tires. On lap 10 or so, I saw my nemesism, Matt Dowing, in the gaggle up in front of me. I thought "HA! His used Hoosier A7's were giving out!" ^Maybe I can catch him as he races with the others. I stepped it up but just couldn't close the gap - Matt was generally turning 2:03's and I was in the 2:04's. This continued through lap 13 or so where I could see Matt and the others but just couldn't close in (31:12). Lap 14 we started to spread out again. ^Matt got away and I was behind the silver Miata again. The red and silver Miata got by again, and I was watching the two in front of me play with each other, waiting for a mistake. Had an opportunity in turn 2 - 3 but couldn't quite close it. Had another at 13 (39:22) but he did a nice job of pinching me at the exit, so he killed my momentum. By then, we were closing in on lap 18 or so, and ^I could see the leaders in my mirrors, and P1 passed me going into Turn 1 (39:50). ^P2 and P3 came by shortly thereafter (40:10) heading into turn 3. ^Somehow, the red and silver Miata was off track again (40:12) and put me up a spot. ^ By this time, my tires were hot and I was feeling it. Really had to tiptoe through the tighter corners. Saw the red and silver Miata in my mirrors (42:25) and thought "Damn, where did he come from." Given it was a lap and a half to go at that point, I was damned if he was going to get by. ^Though the car was sliding all over by that point of the race, his tires were hot also, and so I just had to kill his momentum if he got close. Entering lap 19 (44:00), the next group of leaders were coming through. ^The RX8 of Don Knowles passed me into 1, and as soon as we turned the corner, there was a wrecked BRZ and recovery trucks. This slowed the other leaders plus the red and silver Miata chasing me. From there, it was just keeping it clean and getting across the line (45:50). ^ Wow! What an experience!
  20. To finish the story... Saturday was another relaxing day to watch races and hang out. Travis and I got up early and headed to the local Goodwill store for, uh, team shirts. ^We cleared them out of flowered shirts. ^The funny part was that there was a team paddocked a couple rows down from us SELLING their team shirts for $25 each. ^So, we hung ours up for sale at $20. The rest of Travis' family - Andrea, Kennedy, and Tristan - showed up just after lunch, and along with Kathy, daughter Amanda, son Andrew, and Andy Toth, we all watched some great races. Former car owner Greg Vandersluis stopped by which was great. ^Dinner Saturday night was at the 1911 Grille in Speedway,which is part of Sarah Fisher's kart racing track. ^Food was good - not great - and I suspect a lot of it was due to the crowd there that the were unprepared for. ^ Early night Saturday, and I have to say, I was a bit anxious. ^Lying in bed, thinking about the past few years and getting ready to run at Indy. Didn't sleep well. ^It was starting to hit me. Just being here is a privilege few experience. ^Over the past few years, Kathy and I have had a number of challenges, ranging from our own personal health experiences to work to the loss and illnesses of parents and loved ones. When I list out all the "life major events" since 2014, it's way too long. ^But we managed to make it through , and I am been blessed to still be able to have the Indy experience. ^I am a lucky man. ^ I got to the track early, even though our race wasn't until 1:30p. I like getting to the track early and making sure everything is in order, and have the chance for some quiet time. ^Races started on Sunday at 8:30a or so, and so I watched from a couple places along with Travis. Unfortunately, Toth couldn't stay for the race as the j-o-b took him out of town and he had to fly to California somewhere. Travis and I got the car cleaned up, and double checked everything, and were ready to go by 10a. ^We only had to wait another three and a half hours! Around noon, I decided to take a nap. ^There is only so much pacing and race watching you can do while you are waiting. ^Woke up at 12:30p, had a very light lunch, got the suit on, took some photos, and got up to grid around 1:00p. ^I gridded 31st out of 38 or so, the highest gridding V6 pony car, ahead of another Mustang and a Camaro. Or, as I told Travis, "first in T4 Heavy". ^Not to whine too much, but the V6 pony cars could use some help so we can run at least mid pack. ^Talked to a few of the other drivers. ^Matt Downing was gridded just ahead of me in 30th, and we both told the drivers around us that if you see our hands go up approaching Turn 1, $hit is happening in front of us. Got the 5 minute to go call, and Travis started the video and headed down to the pits. ^A good luck kiss from Mrs. G, and she headed to Turn 1 to watch with the kids. ^Seemed like a long 5 minutes but per the video it was pretty much on target. ^Whistles blew, and we headed out. ^I was gridded on the inside of Row 16. ^The plan was to get a good start and pick up a few spots entering 1. ^Coming around turn 14 on to the straight watching the Starter and the scoring pylon. GREEN! I should have anticipated the start a bit better as I was passed by a couple carr (8:09 in the video). Matt Downing saw an opening in the middle and took it, running away from me. ^Bastard - my inner goal was to finish ahead of him. ^Now I was going to have to catch him. ^Turn 1 was crowded but clean and we got through without incident. ^
  21. I used these guys with the Corvette FOB's and blanks I got online. http://www.goldenbearlock.com/
  22. Thanks. That was really the first time I ran against the BRZ's. I know my car isn't the preferred one for the class (too heavy), but the BRZ / FRS's are very quick. Low CG plus being able to tune them to get around the torque dip. Plus independent suspension. All goodness for them. I have some improvements in store for the winter and am petitioning to have the restrictor plate removed from the Mustangs. So, the car and my driving should be better next year. Still just about the most fun you can have with your clothes on.
