Wintercross # 3, Feb. 8, Bristol, CT.

[Blackbrick]

Well there is another one scheduled for 02/08. The same applies to this one, Jason and I both have helmets available to those who don't have one. People traveling from out of state can stay at my house Sat night for a GTG party and be fresh to go to wintercross 2 miles from my house. I am hoping for lots of snow and a good showing of bricks. As usual you may go to www.cartct.com to see details.

I'm in. And yup, you guessed it, I need to borrow a helmet.

[Blackbrick]

You know the deal Cullen, we've surely been over it enough, eh?

[BudGT]

I may show up with the peg legging, slushboxing 780. However, I don't know anyone else going so we'll see...

[project-coupe]

I'll be there

[Blackbrick]

Budgt, Come on down anyway, it'll be a blast. Also if you want to come down on Sat You got a place to stay. BTW there is a pick n pay here locally that has a black 780 turbo with lots of good parts if you are looking for anything. Greg

[project-coupe]

greg don't forget to add the free coffee & breakfast w/ every stayover....

[Blackbrick]

Update; we have had plenty of snow this week and it looks like there will be no reason to call this one off. So who is coming this time?

[Blackbrick]

There is supposed to be a rain/snow event today with warm temps :eek: I hope it doesn't affect the base cover on the lot. On the bright side there is supposed to be snow on Fri. and Sat. If they call this one off, I am going to snap. :rant:

[MoWGLi]

its snowing right now!!! yay!! hopefully it will stay and not turn to ****ty rain.

[Blackbrick]

Yup 3 more inches and it's still snowing here!<img src=http://img17.photobucket.com/albums/v50/turbobricksct/Smiley_Avatar.gif>

:-D Got E/mail from Rick at CART today, reads as follows;

Greg,

Since you had pre-registered for a wintercross date this year, I'm
writing
to you to let you know that the conditions look ideal for our event
this
Sunday, February 8th. And with more snow expected tomorrow, it only
looks
like it will get better.

We all look forward to seeing you Sunday.

Rick Alexander
Activities Director

Who's coming?

[MoWGLi]

im still going. :wave:

I hope it's a few degrees colder over there in Bristol, cuz it's pouring down RAIN over here in Manchester, melting all the snow! :-(

[MoWGLi]

its raining heavy over here in Farmington. This sucks.

[240T man]

f/uck this.

[Blackbrick]

Relax guys, there is still plenty of snow and it is changing back to ice as we speak. and it is expected to snow again in the morning.

[240T man]

Greg, let's have a GTG anyways even if they cancel it. I'm itching to get out of here for a couple of days.

[Blackbrick]

You got it

[Blackbrick]

I just got back from the lot, there is still a lot of snow there. There is over 10" left right now and the rain is light and freezing making a crust over very dense snow. See you guys on Sunday.

[240T man]

Have fun guys, my f/ucking turbo went bad not even 5 minutes into the trip, so I had to turn around. If anyone has a turbo they could donate...

[Anonymous]

SOOO...the turbo isn't bad, it's just a leak of some sort making weird noises. See y'all on Sunday.

[applejuice]

just got in from digging out the volvo from hell, snowtires are on, see you tomorrow!!

[Blackbrick]

What an excellent time we all had yesterday! there were 4 t-brix on hand to represent the "volvo class" as cart now calls us. myself, John "project-coupe", Jason "applejuice" and Cullen were there. The course was very fast and lots o fun. There were some casualties though, Jason had to quit after a couple of runs due to a problem with his differential, I blew a headgasket on my third run and my car is down for the day.
You can see the results at www.cartct.com
There will be another one in two weeks I'll post to keep everyone informed.
I got lots of pics and I'll post some of them shortly on another thread, watch for it!

[MoWGLi]

It was rediculously cold though. Oh well i should be getting my brick at the end of the week so add another one to the volvo class.

[240T man]

Were you in the teal mazda b3000?

[Blackbrick]

I'm going to take the head off right now, I'm hoping its just the gasket. :x:

[240T man]

Not to bust your bubble, but if you drove in with the needle buried it's probably warped nicely

[MoWGLi]

nah i was in my friends 87 camary, that car sucks so much.

[applejuice]

that was a blast. the volvo from hell will be back to defend the rwd title....how's your car greg? and btw, glad you could make it down cullen, it was nice to meet you.

[Blackbrick]

It lives! The head is as straight as an arrow and is well into being reinstalled. I'll be up and running tonight. While it's apart I'll be throwing my K cam and gear in. :badboy: Jason, I'm gonna make you work to keep that title. :-P

[240T man]

nah i was in my friends 87 camary, that car sucks so much.

the dark silver/grey one that ran in the $2 funruns?

[MoWGLi]

Well he didnt run when i was there but it is a silver one. I was there about 11:30-12:30 or so. Next SX i should be there in my 740GLE (aparently i cant afford insurance on a turbo). So see you there.

[applejuice]

glad to hear the car is ok. the way you drive that thing it's hard to believe that's all that broke. that thing screams..i'm welding up the diff saturday and making a few minor changes :wink:

[Blackbrick]

I didn't get to finish today, I didn't get home from work untill 7:30, way tired after 13 hour day. I just need to get the manifolds back on. then I'm going to be welding my dif later this week.
