    rear brakes locked up solid - help

    Hey Ron, I've got a riddle for you: Q: What's worse than being "taken downtown to Chinatown"??? A: Ending up on "Skid Roe." Errr, I mean "Row." (D@mn! I hate it when I make "typos...")

    Road Racers, will I pass the Laguna Seca sound test????

    joe117 wrote: "I can understand why the locals might not want the noise." Don't try to understand the "locals." They ought to be kicked in the head (multiple times) for being clueless. What wasn't mentioned was that the track was there BEFORE the houses were. In other words, the "locals"...

    Laying waste to the east coast Vipers at the Viperdays Finals at TWS...

    Ron, I'll be there. I've secured my spot on the SoCal Gravy Train -- the only question is whether or not the RV's are big enough to hold all the trophies that have to be hauled back to CA. (What was it that pmum called it? "Our yearly bounty" -- something like that...) I'm going to have...

    Viper Days Nashville

    Ray, I agree with _almost_ everything you said -- Viper Days is a great way to learn your car, the Thomas clan puts on a first-rate event, the car's limits are beyond what most people reach, etc. I guess the only thing I disagree with you about is that part about "oweing me." You were a great...

    Whose going to the Viperdays Finals at Texas World Speedway in Oct.???

    Hmmmmm.... I did some grad work at the school attached to Kyle Field. I should be there for the Viper Days Finals -- gotta check the statute of limitations before I commit tho. I think the time and effort to make the trip will be worth it to see the look on pmum's face when BP tells him that...

    who's the best Viper dealer in SF Bay?

    Re: who\'s the best Viper dealer in SF Bay? "The Dodge Dealership on Capitol Expressway is one of the largest in the nation and they are supposedly a viable source for Viper service (based on past posts on this board)." Huh? You're kidding, right? Capitol Dodge/Hartzeim Dodge is the...

    Vipers are ready to sweep OTC...

    Best of luck to you guys -- kick some asp!! (And tell PMUM to turn off his BMW magnet...)

    Moving to SF bay area - bring the Viper??

    OK, time for a little bit of perspective here: All the positives that have been mentioned in this thread are true. But there are some negatives... Whether it's semiconductors, hardware, software or bio-tech, Silicon Valley has some of the smartest people in the world. Unfortunately, NONE of...

    How do I protect my quarter panels whe road racing...

    Ron, Don't listen to ANY of these guys! The REAL solution to your problem can be summed up in one word: MUDFLAPS.

    Viperdays challenge of the year has been laid down....

    Sorry, Kenny, but you took away my crown for being the Laguna Seca Flat Spot King. Remember that episode going into Turn 3? (What's your excuse for that one?) And truth be told, SOSRacer, I found out in Hallet that my mudflaps are pretty useless off track. But they do give Tom Glenn...

    Viperdays challenge of the year has been laid down....

    Geez, I tried to warn you guys in an earlier thread: Do NOT show up in my backyard without slicks! My 'lil Red Sled has been resting all winter but now, she's ready to rock and hand out beatdowns to anyone who shows up at T-hill and dares run street tires (Adelberg and SSpeedRacer included)...

    Buttonwillow fun!

    Ken, what's up with this Prepared class nonsense at Thunderhill? I thought you were smart enough to know better than to show up in my backyard without slicks...

    Dumb Tire Question.

    Sorry Frank, but I have to disagree with you here: "If the weight on a tire is, say 900 pounds, and the tire is inflated to 30 PSI, then the total area of the tire contact patch should be 900 divided by 30 = 30 square inches." Uh.... does this mean that if I put in 1psi that I will end up...

    Viper Days East coast/West coast smackfest

    Actually, Kenny, I don't think dj opened up the proverbial can of worms with this one. I doubt we'll hear any east coast smack... The problem the easterners have is this: You can't run any good gloss when you're talking about 4th place (best case scenario). I mean, the results from the...

    How to improve Viperdays?

    Bill, I psyched out Mumford once by putting the "Naked Lady Silhouette" on the mudflaps. (He said, "Hey, I think that's Candi..." and then he lost it.) Unfortunately, I got out-psyched when I heard Dixie blaring out of his air horns...errrr driving light cannons...errrrr brake ducts. DJ, I...
