Meet Monster Strikes
well, the meet monster struck us today. avppow, it's just eric, and myself were out driving when avppow's throttle cable snapped at the gas pedal. after thinking and pondering for a bit, we ended up at the decision to use a shoe lace through the sunroof to get back to the hotel. we are hoping that someone has a spare so he doesn't have to drive back to jersey using the shoe lace.
more info to come

they replaced the throttle cable no problem...
and it's pouring outside, currently a ball joint is being changed(not in avppow's car), and i think that is going to be the last of the tech repairs for the weekend out here because they're going to dismantle the tent after they're done

he had the whole cable comming out of the back of the engine bay and up over the windshield and then pinched down into the cockpit through the sunroof. Throttle was worked by the passinger... damn impressive if you ask me..

Lol, it was my shoelace...
As stated before, the shoelace ran from the throttle, throught the hole to hold the engine cover (As it was a VERY good guide to keep the shoe lace where it needed to be) up the windshield and into the car via sunroof. AvPPoW's driving skill was pretty good, although Brad had to shift for him, being his hands were full. Hilarious and yes, there are pictures. Hopefully they get posted

You all know that someone always get hit hard by the meet monster. I was having a Twin Cities meet on Saturday 22nd and got bit that Friday on the way to dinner. I had to get a tow home.
 Timing belt burned thru my covers.  Here is the results of a broken idler bolt.  From another angle  The rest are in here. I still made the Saturday meet with Aaron (PureInsanity8), John (Tcat55371), and Chris (Curly2k3). Thanks guys. I would love to see those shoe lace pictures. Steve
