Default Corvette Challenge @ Moroso round 3 Sat 4/16

Alright guy's and gal's, this Saturday the 16th is round 3 of the Corvette Challenge at Moroso Motorsports Park. Gates open at 4:30 Weather is predicted to be beautiful, which should make for a great night at the track. C'mon out and have some fun with your Corvette Family. Hoping to see you all out there.

hooplah!

Been wrenching again. I should have the bugs worked out by Saturday. The car made it to work, so that's a good sign.

Bob, getting to Moroso is proving to be a "Challenge"

Now I have a stripped carb bowl bolt hole

I'm not sandbagging, I really AM that slow.

Super glue. Good luck on the repair.

How in the world do you strip that? Like Bob said get some super glue to hold you over.

I heard he was using an impact wrench to install the screw.

Super glue? I am NOT Bubba! Duct tape should do it

I even use a 1/4 inch nut driver on it, not even a ratchet. It must be a common problem because Holley sells helicoil kits for this purpose.

Remember, I am NOT the original owner of this carb. Olivier said Norm broke this carb a while back.

Bob M. You should work for a news station. That edited quote of mine looks like one of those interviews where they cut out all the important small words like from a politician.

For example,edit out the underlined words and see what you get:

"Bob (16Again) once said that Norm is Olivier's brother.



Poor Olivier, he didn't even start this one.
