Guys, I just got a new toy on my home PC - Roxio video to DVD. I have a ton of in car video from over the years doing track events all over the place and happened on this video from Autobahn in 2005. I am following Joe Johnson and we are chasing down the guy in the yellow Mustang and pass...

Ok guys/gals, Any interest in joining us in west Texas in April (April 22-24) at the Big Bend Open Road Race. I've never done this and have been thinking about it for a while now. It is a race against your group (fastest time in your group wins) but you cannot go faster than your allowed...

Folks, I received a phone call earlier this evening from the father of one our 2000 R owners from Houston (Don Smith - aka "tcm-668" on the board) has sadly passed away. :( Don owned 2000 R number 152 and was a good friend. I had recently spoken with him on the phone as he had recently...

Guys, Just wondering if anyone here has had issues with the ABS block (not the electronic module, but the actual pump)? Mine starting leaking fluid just recently from some sort of black plug just to the bottom of where the two lines come in from the master cylinder are. Not sure what the...

Happy Turkey Day everyone!! :rockon: Hope everyone stays safe and has a great holiday with family/friends!

Guys, I'm back! :banana: Ok, it is not an R, but the next best thing. I purchased David's (03 Cobra Toy on the board) '03 Cobra Coupe this afternoon. It is a terrific car and I am very happy to have it sitting inside my garage. Those of you who know David know how meticulous :rockon: he...

Folks, Well, the Houston area took a severe beating from Hurricane Ike, but we made it ok. My home is fine except for a tree from my neighbor's yard falling into my pool. We have no power (as most of the city is without power) but I have my generator running and have plenty of gas to get us...

For those of you who own a 7.3 Powerstroke, listen up... About 2 months ago, my truck started behaving strangely; where it would die out suddenly and abruptly while at idle at a red light, or where ever. It was very inconsistent and would some times not happen again for weeks. Then, a...

Folks, Please join me in wishing our buddy Joe Johnson a belated birthday! Joe celebrated his 39th birthday this past week on the 26th. :rollseyes ;-) I spoke to Joe this week about his birthday wish and he said all he wanted was for the R's engine to be back in the car so he can resume...

Gents, Not sure how many of you follow Formula One?... Juan Pablo Montoya is leaving Mclaren/Mercedes and coming to NASCAR. http://today.reuters.co.uk/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=motorSportsNews&storyID=2006-07-10T125319Z_01_L10656799_RTRIDST_0_SPORT-MOTOR-RACING-MONTOYA.XML He is...

Folks, I just finished a call with my buddy Joe J. He made the trip to Hallet for this weekend's MidAmerica Ford event and was just warming up on the track when something went :bash: boom in the motor. He saw a bunch of blue smoke and pulled off track and opened the hood and saw a huge...

Guys, what is the stock thickness on a stock one piece Brembo rotor on the 2000 R? and can such a rotor be turned? I've sold my original set of front rotors to a friend and the knuckleheads at the Autozone said they were too thin to turn? huh? Those things had only maybe 1000 or so...

Folks, I sold #155 yesterday. It has a temporary home now until someone decides to find a permanent home for it. Please let me know if you hear of someone interested in it and I will pass along the contact information of the broker who bought it from me. This was a very tough decision...

I don't know why I didn't do this sooner... :shrug: ... all you do is feed him! This is David's son. He took him along with us yesterday for the track day at MSR Houston... and while I sat and ate lunch, he rotated my tires. What a deal huh?!! :pepper:

Folks, There was a very unfortunate racing accident this past weekend at Motorsport Ranch in Cresson (the one near Dallas). Please keep this guy's family in your hearts and prayers. Something like this really makes you think and certainly makes you realize just how short a time we all have...

Folks, A close friend of mine just bought a red and white GT. I will post pics as soon as I get close to the car. He is anxious to get it to the track soon and has indicated he will allow me the opportunity to drive it for a few laps around the track!! :banana: That should be the highlight...

Folks, I know many of you will be shocked that I have decided to sell #155. :cryying: Those of you who know me personally also know how much I love this car. It has brought me countless hours of driving pleasure and satisfaction. Addtionally, were it not for this car, I would not have met...

Folks, I had a chance to drive my buddy David's Cobra Mustang at the track this weekend. His car is setup very nice with the entire Maximum Motorsports control arms, and coilovers, including all the derlrin bushings and machined tie rod end heim joints. All I can say is WOW...

Folks, I just wanted to give you all a trip report from last weekend. As some of you already know, we have a new sports car track here in the Houston area, something we have been waiting for with great anticipation for quite a while now. The new Motorsport Ranch Houston, modeled after...

Folks, I'd like to get some more of these done up for those of you who are interested, before my fabricator runs out of the cf material. He has enough to make a few more before he orders some more material, which he has told me will be a LOT more expensive next time around. It appears the...

Folks, I am having issues with my F250 right now with the 4X4 engagement. I have an '02 Powerstroke 4X4. The other day while driving to work, the little indicator 4X4 amber light starting flashing even though I was not messing with the electronic dash switch to move from one mode to the...

John, Please PM me with your current email address. I'd like to invite you to our upcoming SCMC track event at the new MSR Houston facility. Weekend of Dec 4-5.

Folks, We are working on the final details at the moment, but have secured a weekend date (the very first event to be held at this new facility as a matter of fact!) at the new track just south of Houston - Motorsport Ranch Houston (MSR Houston). The event would be held the weekend of...

Folks, As you may know (if you have been watching the news the past couple of days?), our number has been called in Houston. We have not had a direct hit storm for over 20 years, and this one's going to be a bad one! :eek: Fortunately for me, my home is quite a distance from the water at...

Folks, FYI: I was at my credit union today and decided to take a peek inside the NADA book (there is a special one with exotic rare cars in it) and observed the current loan value for a 2000 R is $38,500.00 Just in case anyone out there is in the market for one and will be financing...
