Welcome!
John,
Glad to see you on the forum. We met at SAAC-28. I had the "R" race car. I'm having so much fun with it, I think I'll keep it for a while. I just bought new tires for it, I'm getting a new seat, and seat belts. I'm heading for MAM in Aug. for much fun.

John,
This is too wierd man?!! I was just trying to call and email you today!! I got your name from Steve Broussard of Lake Charles LA who said he met you at the FFW in Houston last year.
Please email me at [email protected].
I'd like to extend an invitation for you to join us in College Station for an open track event.
Great to have you aboard!!
So, how often do you drive #10 ??
Re: Bruce
You have a Pantera too?? when did you run at Hallet?? I was there for the Porsche Club MayFast event this past May... we also went to the same event last year at Hallet. That sure is a fun track!! Probably my personal favorite out of all the tracks I've been to.

TWS is in College Station which is located about 1 hour and 15 minutes northwest of Houston. It is a great track and we expect to have a ton of fun. THere will be at least 5-6 2000 R's on the track and it sure would be nice to have a 95 in the mix with us!!
I spoke with Steve a couple of days ago and he said he was not sure if he could make it a the moment, because he has a trial in Lafayette starting that same week. But he said he would try.
We also talked about meeting up in Lafayette at some point to do a cruise.
I've heard of the track you mentioned... I think Joe Johnson and I will have to make a road trip to go and run over there at some point?? what is the web site for them?? have a schedule of events?? have you ever run the R there?
600 miles huh?? Dude, you need to get out more!!;-) My R has over 13K miles on it, with almost half of that on the track!!! And I am loving every minute!!
Email me.... we need to find a way to hook up soon.
by the way, I am originally from Lafayette. Went to high school at Acadiana (class of '76) and then graduated in Electrical Engineering at USL in 1988. Have been in Houston since '91.

John:
A guy that has fast cars and actually drives them on the track!! :burnout:
I think you're going to fit right in here!:beer:
:thumbsup: :coolman: :beer:
PS old brake fluid, not good; right now I'm using Castrol SRF (way overkill AND way expensive!) I will be switching over to Valvoline Syntech Synthetic as soon as I run out. The boiling point numbers are very impressive and it is real affordable stuff!

Re: Re: Bruce
Bruce,
You might check about using synthetic brake fluid. I raced with owners of Classic Tube and Stainless Steel Brakes('97-'99), and in conversation, I mentioned that I had syn. brake fluid, and they were very adamant about how UNSAFE syn. fluid was for RACE cars. Something about molecules braking down. I changed as soon as I got home to DOT-4. Is there something new out?

Re: Re: Re: Bruce
Gene:
Thanks for the heads up. I have not heard that but I will definitely be keeping my ears open regarding brake fluid. It seems kind of unusual that the synthetic oil can take a much higher temperature than regular oil can? Why wouldn't the brake fluid be able to do the same thing? Who knows? The Syntech may be a blend and I will have to check it out a little closer. I put it in my Navigator when I flushed the system and did a brake job.
I have more than enough of the Castrol SRF to get me through the remainder if the season. I like to keep the system flushed after a hard weekend at the track.

brake fluid
I have used almost every expensive brake fluid in race cars, but seem to have the best luck with Ford's HD fluid for $5 a can. I bleed 'em after every hard run and flush the system before each race.
P/S You can't go fast with your foot on the brake:lol:
