Ant, you've joined the fag train for not answering my question, all aboard am I right? Oh, BTW, doing a practice pork butt tomorrow while putting in my gauges and grounding kit. Oh yeah, pork butt. Anyone wanna make a trip for the first one of the year? Just me, the wife, the kid and my buddy Paco.

is there a capped off vacuum nipple on the DE mani that I could run my vac gauge to without having to splice it in? Or is this promise of unused nipples a dirty dirty lie I've heard?

Eh not really unless you have a obd2 mani on a non obd2 car. Some mani's have 4, some have 3, some have 2, not including the vris supply nipple. Take your choice of any really, just make sure not to mess any of them up and do it between the mani and any solenoid to make sure you have vacuum at all times.

I'm in love with these mazda6 brakes on the probe... I just gotta keep this CEL off, put the tie rods on and get some tires for it and it should be golden for quite some time!! Oh, and axe the cold air... Gotta find a good stock TB elbow though!

Just in case someone is free tomorrow, and would like to see something that could be down right entertaining....

WATKINS GLEN, NY – Watkins Glen International is proud to announce that the upcoming Mobil 1 Car Swap at The Glen on Tuesday, June 14, will be open to all spectators. Admission and parking will both be free for fans of all ages and there will be numerous locations for fans to watch NASCAR Sprint Cup Series star Tony Stewart and Formula 1™ World Champion Lewis Hamilton take laps in their own and then each others’ cars during the event.

“It has been our goal from the beginning to make this historic event open to our tens of thousands of fans and we are thrilled to make this announcement,” said Michael Printup, president of Watkins Glen International. “There has been no question as to how badly our fans want to attend the Mobil 1 Car Swap at The Glen. They have overwhelmed us with their emails, phone calls, and comments through social media and it is this incredible passion that makes our fans the best in motorsports.”

Beginning at 11:00 a.m., fans will witness Hamilton take laps in both his team Vodafone McLaren Mercedes MP4-23 and Stewart’s No. 14 Mobil 1/Office Depot Chevrolet Impala. Stewart also will take a spin in his No. 14 Mobil 1/Office Deport Chevrolet Impala before climbing into Hamilton’s MP4-23 for his first-ever laps behind the wheel of an F1 car.

Visitors to WGI will find it easy to park, enter the track, and watch the car swap from numerous locations around the legendary road course. All spectators will be able to park near and enter through Gate 4 which can be accessed from Kuhl-Winner Way off of Route 16. Gate 4 will be open 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. and from there fans will have easy access to the facility. The spectator viewing area is located outside of the track and stretches from Turn 1, down the entire FrontStretch, and all the way to the toe of The Boot. This means fans can choose to watch from the Ninety and FrontStretch Grandstands, the Turn 11 Viewing Berm, the elevated areas around and inside of The Boot, and any general admission viewing area located in that range. The inside of The Boot can be accessed through the pedestrian tunnel which is located between the heel of The Boot and the West tunnel.

The fans that sit in or around the FrontStretch Grandstand will see the largest amount of activity throughout the day. The location will not only provide a great view of the cars as they drive through Turn 11, down the FrontStretch, around Turn 1, and into the Esses but also as they enter and exit pit road and are worked on in the special garage areas directly behind the pits. Please note that access to the infield will be restricted to authorized personnel only during the event.

The FrontStretch Concession Kiosk will be open 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. and feature Sahlen’s Hot Dogs, Bog Hog Pulled Pork sandwiches, donuts, potato chips, ice cream, Coke products, coffee, bottled water, and premium Budweiser beer. Fans are also welcome to bring their coolers to enjoy a full picnic experience during the day.

I... What the ****!!?!?!?!!!!

[diablovt6o]

Ive always wanted to watch a F1 car at the Glen, never thought it would happen heh..... And with the chance of watching Hamilton make a bigger ass of him self? ****! If I wasn't flying out to New Orleans Wednesday morning, Id be there....

[Domino81]

I'll have the morning off... sort of... except there's no way I'll be able to take the duration off and be back by... well, it'll take me 2.5 hours or so. Maybe 2. It's ****ing impossible. ****. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

[FWP!]

I've been planning on going to the F1 swap thing for a few months now. Can't wait! They should be on track by noon taking a hand full of laps each then swapping. I'll be in the boot with my camera!!! I'll get some iPhone vids too.

[Domino81]

The quest for 18k is... harder than I thought it'd be. I just wanna get there.

[diablovt6o]

So apparently Ken Block is going to be 'racing' F1 now....

[TRWeiss1]

So I started playing the piano again last night for the first time in years (with the exception of playing for you guys, Ant). Felt good to play again...Had to re-learn a few songs though. I'm going to be learning some Eagles here shortly, probably within the next few nights.

[Domino81]

That's why even when I struggled.. I never gave up playing guitar.

[TRWeiss1]

Oh it never had anything to do with struggling. I mean I've been playing since I was 10. It was just a matter of getting busy with too many other things and life taking over. House, cars, work, kid, etc...
