02:16
Welcome to The Garage Heroes in Training Podcast.
02:18
We are not an IT podcast, obviously, by the time that it took me to get this
02:23
Who else has house tag?
02:28
And I'm a bad IT person.
02:31
Anyway, we are here on The Garage Heroes in Training Podcast to talk to our sister
02:37
cars, sister teams, and sister friends or brothers, brothers, sisters, uncles,
02:43
cousins, something, is there a gender neutral version?
02:50
Anyway, so we thought we would get everybody up to speed with where we are, where we've
02:55
been, and what we're up to, and what we got coming up, because we got some stuff
02:59
So, you know, instead of talking to people about what they're doing, we decided
03:03
we were going to tell you what we were doing.
03:04
So, Jeremy, you are driving home from an event.
03:11
And you've been doing several events.
03:13
So what have you been up to there, buddy?
03:16
I have been incredibly busy with extreme experience by instructing gig that I do.
03:22
I have traveled to, I don't know, six different states in the last five weeks.
03:30
And I'm coming off of our home event, my home event, which is New Hampshire Motor
03:35
So that was nice to be there for the last four days prior to the upcoming
03:43
Get me back prepared, because I haven't been, I haven't driven that track
03:48
So just in case people aren't aware what extreme experience is, why would
03:52
We've had, we've had episodes on it.
03:56
Extreme experience is for all of you listeners that have never been on a
04:00
racetrack, it is your chance to drive a Ferrari or a Lamborghini or any
04:05
supercar that we have or Jeremy's favorite or my favorite, my new
04:10
favorite right now, the Z06.
04:14
And it's the opportunity for you to drive on a racetrack with a
04:17
professional driving instructor, giving you tips, tricks and hints on how
04:21
to be quick and drive correctly on a racetrack while experiencing the
04:26
unbelievable thrill of a supercar.
04:30
So they can get professional instructors and or Jeremy.
04:40
Yeah, you better hope I'm not in the car, because yeah, that's I learn
04:44
It's like every time if you don't, you're doing it wrong there,
04:49
Yeah, no, you're right, right.
04:52
All right, so so that's what you've been up to recently.
04:55
Max, what have you guys been doing?
04:59
Getting ready for lemon's new Hampshire coming up.
05:06
Car wise, which car first off, you've got a variety.
05:10
You've got the melted wagon.
05:13
so we're going to bring the the 30 again.
05:21
And it's pretty much pretty much ready to go.
05:26
Just like, I don't know,
05:30
might try to lower the seat, just to spec if possible, that kind of
05:37
You know, change all the fluids, change the brakes.
05:42
Just basic stuff in between since Thompson.
05:45
It's been pretty good.
05:46
To upgrade the whole system, because they change all their
05:53
fittings with their new systems, they merge with someone.
05:58
Oh, cool suit and cool shirt, I think, or something like that.
06:03
So, so we found the
06:06
the ends, you know, not through them and it's like half price.
06:12
Can someone say McMaster car?
06:15
Yeah, we didn't get them from there, but I did see those on there.
06:18
But, right, yeah, so we did that, changed the ends on some
06:23
shirts and to try to make make it work with everybody's stuff.
06:28
Yeah, the fittings are the biggest pain with those systems.
06:33
So your front cool suits in 50 degree weather.
06:38
Well, it was something that we had a problem with at Thompson.
06:42
OK, so they want to come like unplugged while you're driving.
06:47
And so we were just trying to correct it for if and when we
06:52
need it, you know, next time, which we might not need it in
06:56
New Hampshire or not.
06:57
I mean, last year it was warm enough to to want it.
07:02
It was really nice.
07:03
It might not be like that this year, but we'll see.
07:06
So, Jeremy, this is called fixing it before you need it.
07:10
Is that what you do?
07:11
Yeah, well, I mean, you don't have to.
07:16
You know, the first rule of lemons.
07:18
Don't bring broken shit to the track.
07:21
Well, you need to tell everybody that races.
07:24
I mean, I didn't say they made the first rule.
07:27
They just know the first rule.
07:31
What about you, Miss Audrey?
07:32
You've been helping Max out.
07:34
You've been you've been strangling life, taking it
07:36
taking it by the hold and kicking some butt.
07:39
Yeah, yeah, you know, I've been beating him into submission.
07:43
I guess that he 46 projects so that, you know,
07:47
can become the next one.
07:53
He likes it when you do that, though, Audra.
07:56
Don't I know that's motivating?
08:03
The only fans podcast would have to complete that joke
08:05
that I had in my head.
08:06
So we'll skip on that.
08:09
Did you get out for autofrost today, Miss Vicky?
08:16
That's exciting. So where did you go?
08:19
Like homing mall, which is out near Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania.
08:22
It's kind of like not quite central, but kind of like east of central
08:30
And took us about an hour and a half to get there.
08:35
She was a hit because everybody that was supposed to be here
08:39
there was nobody left.
08:41
So we took everybody we took the dog and she was she was a hit.
08:47
She was so good, so good,
08:52
just chilling out underneath the tent, not moving, going anywhere,
08:55
just hanging out by herself.
08:57
I just I just want to distract Vicky from a dog podcast.
09:03
Yes. On the podium.
09:06
I did. I made third.
09:08
That's awesome. Yeah.
09:10
The car license you drive.
09:13
I did. Me and Jennifer shared the Miata, this one here.
09:18
I'm not going to do that again, because that's just a hot mess.
09:22
The jumping in and out and trying to get. Yeah.
09:26
Yeah, it's not not fun.
09:28
Not fun. Six point harness co-driving is not apparently.
09:32
No, not great at all.
09:34
We did it with the lemons car when we first with the five series.
09:38
That is when we first got that going, and that was, you know,
09:41
a lot of hop in and out pretty gets pretty hectic sometimes.
09:45
Yeah, you don't really get a breath.
09:48
Especially in the harness.
09:49
I thought you drove for like a minute and 30 seconds.
09:57
Yeah, but as soon as I sat down, I yeah, I had.
10:00
Sometimes the driver changes.
10:01
There's no there's not enough time between runs to like,
10:04
like, you know, get out casually.
10:06
You know what I mean?
10:09
So, like, it all depends on the pace of the event, really.
10:14
Yeah, I've never had a fight with great people, though, over it.
10:22
That's good, you're good.
10:24
Yeah, yeah. So we did that today.
10:28
But I got to tell you, soon as soon as that sucker ended,
10:31
it was almost an empty parking lot.
10:34
I mean, there was no like ending.
10:36
There was no nothing.
10:38
There was just you drove back and and I turned around
10:42
and like half the parking lot was gone.
10:44
Like, holy crap. OK, this is how it goes.
10:49
I think I was trying to follow in your footsteps.
10:53
I believe the proper training ritual was vacate the premises,
10:58
go to a bar with way too much background noise and record the podcast.
11:03
The two girls refused after all those episodes that you did.
11:08
They refused to do it.
11:09
I'm like, this is the professional way to do a podcast after autographs.
11:13
What is the matter? And they wouldn't know it.
11:14
Yeah, what the dog in an hour and a half away, that's different.
11:18
And sometimes you just have to learn from others' mistakes.
11:21
And, you know, we did it once.
11:24
It was probably not the best way to go.
11:26
But we weren't drinking.
11:27
Once. We thought it was fine. Once.
11:30
Oh, well, OK, there was the one from the casino.
11:34
Uh-huh. Yeah. Oh, oh, oh, oh, wait a minute.
11:37
There was that other time.
11:38
And then there was there was this one time back in band camp.
11:45
I believe it. I believe it.
11:46
If I were to put like a bookie, if I were to put the betting odds,
11:51
I would say the over and under is four.
11:53
I'm leaning towards five, so maybe four and a half.
11:58
There was one at the end.
12:00
I have to go back to the casino.
12:01
It's been a little while.
12:03
I listened to him. You just made them.
12:05
Bill, you got to remember she was drinking
12:07
so she doesn't remember. That's true.
12:08
That's true. It's fine. It's fine.
12:12
They wouldn't do it.
12:13
Audra, I don't know what does what's the matter with these two?
12:15
They they they didn't want to follow
12:16
in the footsteps of your greatness.
12:18
Maybe they didn't want to be measured against the bar.
12:21
That was the shift.
12:23
I did think much of Audra when I was out there.
12:25
I did as that's good.
12:31
Up, Jeremy's in New Hampshire.
12:35
I did. We had a good time.
12:37
We're going to have to do it.
12:39
I think in the very first trip out,
12:42
I know I'm burning a little pod for our second one,
12:45
but totally missed the course.
12:47
No, totally did not even go in the right time zone for the course.
12:51
Nope. No, that's that's that was one section is like,
12:54
oh, the cones are way over there.
12:56
Yeah, I was on the field.
13:00
So, Jennifer, on the the course starts with like a kink into a big.
13:07
Set my lazy left turn like a big wide banking turn into a slalom.
13:13
Jennifer came around that left turn
13:16
and just followed that left turn as if it just kept going straight through the slalom.
13:21
She had really, really fast.
13:23
You know, I will say if you want to have a fast time,
13:27
just don't slow you go much faster.
13:30
She was a blazingly fast on her first run when she didn't do this.
13:33
Well, she did the slalom.
13:34
She she looked at all the cones and said, oh, there's one over there.
13:37
There's they were all to her left.
13:39
I don't know. Maybe it's a different.
13:42
I was like, wow, she's got really good time.
13:43
Yeah, she got really good time to come back in.
13:47
Yeah. And I'm like, man, I got to up my game.
13:50
Yeah. Then realized she missed like a whole section of cone.
13:53
But she didn't miss up. She went right by.
13:54
Yeah, that's right.
13:56
Yeah, you know, that's OK.
14:00
That's fine. Did you drive the Miata as well, Phil?
14:03
No, it was just the two of them.
14:05
But we we planned on we planned on going.
14:08
It was going to be Jennifer and Vicki and I.
14:11
And then we invited Liam and he brought his girlfriend, Sid.
14:15
And then we're getting everything together yesterday.
14:18
And we realized there's nobody home for the dog.
14:23
So we're like, oh, let's bring the dog
14:25
because we'd only done Evo school.
14:27
So we were expecting three groups.
14:29
So we were like, one group will be working, one group will be driving
14:31
and the other group can watch.
14:33
There was only two groups.
14:37
So. How many times has Bill?
14:44
I know I told him that.
14:47
Audra, what did you ask?
14:48
Oh, I was wondering how many cars they were running.
14:51
Total. Yeah, I think there was.
14:56
Seventy somewhere around there.
15:00
It's the last last event of the week, the last event of the year.
15:04
Well, you turned like Vicki.
15:07
It was a pretty big course.
15:09
Allow me. Oh, my gosh.
15:13
Let's see her first two two rounds.
15:17
She I don't know if these are exclamation points
15:21
is that to them, but they seem to be horizontal.
15:22
There's a line through a line through.
15:25
I went off course to like twice.
15:27
So I've got two two runs with lines through them.
15:31
Like exclamation points, I think.
15:35
And then she managed.
15:36
Let's see, we did one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
15:44
And her one, two, three, four, five, six, seventh
15:52
Thirty eight point five, eight, six to the to the thousandth.
15:57
Well, that's that's a decent size
16:02
So the fastest car in the fastest time was a thirty one eight.
16:08
And that car was pretty damn fast.
16:12
I wouldn't imagine.
16:13
Yeah. And then I realized I had ball tires.
16:18
I was like, Bill, I think the tires are spent
16:20
because, you know, truly have a hard time gripping.
16:23
Yeah, I did a quick calculation there.
16:25
And then I did a quick calculation driving back.
16:27
Care to guess how many heat cycles those those puppies had?
16:30
Anyone just slower than tire pressure.
16:32
You're good. How many how many heat cycles?
16:37
Yeah, I was going to say sixty five sixty seven.
16:41
No, you said it was you told me thirty.
16:44
Well, I thought about it more.
16:45
A fun further review.
16:47
Hey, listen, if I've heard it once, I've heard it a thousand times.
16:51
The limit is the limit is the limit.
16:53
You drive what you got.
16:54
That's what you got.
16:55
If you wanted better tires, you could drive back for two hours
16:58
and drive back for two hours.
17:00
And by then we'd have to set up our own cones.
17:02
So those those were the tires you had.
17:04
Yeah, you came in third.
17:07
Yeah, if I didn't have to jump in and out so much, you know,
17:10
and it wasn't towards the end of the day.
17:11
And I realized what was going on.
17:13
God, you're a golfer with these excuses.
17:15
No, I was thinking I should have just lowered the tire pressure.
17:19
It didn't even check the pork.
17:21
I know. But we were as soon as we were, except for lunch,
17:24
we were just in and out or in the field.
17:25
So, you know, have an adjustment to the cars.
17:29
Like as soon as it brought in, I had like a few moments.
17:32
But if there was a second car and Jeff was in a second car,
17:34
I would have had time to to mess with the car.
17:39
Oh, I mean, it's hard.
17:40
It's very, very busy.
17:44
But you know what the most fun for for her father is?
17:48
Is when Miss Vicki comes in third
17:51
and her son in a better car slower.
17:58
That's satisfying, isn't it?
17:59
Am I going to have fun with that this week?
18:06
She beat him by let's do the math.
18:09
Well, you should be beating him
18:10
because you have ten thousand times the track experience.
18:15
But he's in a twenty twenty five Honda Civic
18:20
and she's in a nineteen ninety nine Miata.
18:23
So she she did thirty eight, let's say thirty eight five.
18:27
He did forty two nine.
18:31
Is the Honda prepped at all?
18:33
No, no, it's a street car.
18:34
Street car. Oh, well, you know, it then she should be kicking his ass.
18:39
Well, well, well, well, every five cents.
18:41
Yes, you know, it's perfect for out of press.
18:43
A good carpenter never blames his tools, people.
18:47
Never blames his tools.
18:51
So Bill seems how you've been deflecting this all time.
18:54
But what have you been up to?
18:56
I go for, you know, I am a a veritable trove of health issues.
19:02
So I have my latest one was I had eye surgery last week.
19:05
So how did that go?
19:07
You look pretty, you know, as the doctor said,
19:12
you have blue eyes and now you have.
19:16
A magnifying lens inside your eyes go by sunglasses.
19:21
OK, I go by sunglasses.
19:23
So yeah, team anyway.
19:27
So that was kind of half the reason I drive today, besides the dog.
19:30
Yeah, just that was that was his excuse
19:33
for not coming to race with me at New Hampshire as well.
19:36
Yeah, well, I just I was pretty serious, I don't know.
19:40
I am here are the restrictions I am allowed to do.
19:42
I have to sleep on my back and vertical.
19:46
I have a maximum lift weight of 10 pounds, 10 pounds.
19:51
That's like a gallon of water.
19:53
If I go get a gallon of milk, I have to get Vicki to smell.
19:58
I know, I'm just, you know, buttering Jeremy.
20:01
No, we can't. No, we can't.
20:02
Yeah, not with my left hand.
20:04
Um, and then let's see what else sleep on my back.
20:08
There's 10 I know, I just got to give you a crap.
20:12
Listen, we can't all look like Santa Claus, Jeremy.
20:14
That's right. That's right.
20:16
We can all be Santa Claus here.
20:19
You're the gift that keeps on giving, Jeremy.
20:22
Oh, you got that right.
20:24
That's right. So, Jeremy, how's the how's your car coming?
20:29
I, Nick, Nick came up a month ago or so, something like that.
20:35
That, that weird guy who's coming to New Hampshire racing.
20:41
We went over the car, had to order tie rods, did a couple of the things,
20:45
swapped a few parts here and there.
20:46
And then I just got the tie rods in last week on Monday, I think,
20:52
or this past Monday.
20:54
I just got to put the tie rods in, inner tie rod was smoked.
20:58
But that was really the only, was it bent or wore out?
21:01
That was just wore out for two races to just have an inner tie rod that was bad.
21:06
That was, I mean, that's pretty damn good.
21:10
So I'm going to put those in when I get back from New Jersey.
21:14
So that Monday, when I get back, I'm going to put those in
21:17
and then load everything into the trailer and I'll be ready to drop
21:19
everything off Thursday at the track.
21:23
Somebody had a Chevy S10 at the autocross today.
21:26
Same year, same year, but it had the like the pickup body, not the steak side.
21:30
Yeah. Somebody had the El Camino too.
21:33
Yeah. El Camino, old one.
21:35
Mm hmm. That's awesome.
21:37
Yeah. That was fun to watch.
21:39
There was one guy out there, or girl, I don't know, because I had a helmet on.
21:44
And Vicki's times were like 38 seconds, right?
21:48
Fastest time was 31.
21:50
This was on the other end.
22:03
Max, would you say 55?
22:07
Audrey, you're the autocross experience, I'll say.
22:13
The correct answer.
22:16
Ninety eight point three.
22:18
How does that happen?
22:20
If you saw him, you would understand.
22:23
Well, I'm not surprised.
22:24
He was probably a hundred years old.
22:26
I think the guy picking up the cone passed him.
22:32
But the dude, the dude or the dude
22:35
that was having the best time ever.
22:37
SCC. That's all the past.
22:40
It was it was another one of the older cars.
22:42
I think, you know what?
22:44
I think I know what there was an older woman who was who was in the car.
22:49
And it looked like an old charger, like an old charger
22:52
or like a duster or something like one of those cars like has those lines.
22:56
You know, those two cars look nothing like.
23:00
So but I do I do remember that because she had come up.
23:04
He's like, how's your day going?
23:05
The woman probably was like in her 70s, so it could have been her.
23:09
I wasn't sure if she was autocrossing
23:12
or trying to pass her limo driver test.
23:14
Something was going on.
23:16
Yeah, she was passengering in a car that was like goldish color.
23:20
Yeah, it was hysterical, but it was it was great because they were having
23:23
the awesome, though, fun.
23:27
That's all that matters.
23:28
Ninety eight, you said.
23:30
Yeah, ninety eight seconds.
23:32
Yeah, it was spectacular.
23:33
I really wanted to know what happened
23:35
because the scoreboard only had two digits for seconds and three digits for
23:38
thousands so close to going like ping.
23:44
Yes, you know what?
23:45
She's like she looked like she was probably about like seventy two and you know,
23:50
was the seventy three year old looks different.
23:52
No, I'm just saying she was she was it.
23:53
She was roughly in that age group and good for her.
23:57
I mean, hey, they were probably with her son.
24:01
They were having a good time.
24:02
That's all that matters.
24:04
That's what matters.
24:06
Before we move on from autocross,
24:09
Audra, you have run many organizations.
24:12
You have run many events.
24:14
You've you've been responsible for many, many autocross things.
24:18
Care to guess how many things we screwed up today at autocross.
24:22
And I'm not talking driving.
24:24
I'm talking to everything else.
24:28
There was five of us.
24:31
Five of us with three cars.
24:35
Guessing there was a lot, Bill.
24:37
That's a good number.
24:39
Twenty three different things.
24:40
It may be what happened?
24:42
She may have gotten faster than we are for the number of screwed up things.
24:48
We had a lot of it's fine.
24:51
You know, we were just out there farting around.
24:53
Yeah, it was a disaster.
24:56
Part of it wasn't our fault.
24:57
The web page on motorsports.redge didn't have everything.
25:00
So when we registered, we didn't really register because they're like,
25:03
well, what class are you in?
25:04
I'm like, didn't ask.
25:05
What car are you in?
25:07
So that was some of it wasn't our fault.
25:09
But man, if it could go wrong,
25:12
we did it all the time.
25:14
Jennifer took the wrong helmet because it had Vicki's face on a name on it,
25:20
So in other words, what you're saying is when anyone asks garage heroes
25:24
and training for advice on anything racing, yep, do not listen.
25:29
No, no, no, no, no, no.
25:31
It's the exact opposite, Jeremy.
25:33
We do things wrong, so you won't.
25:37
What you're saying really is, you know, you've been hacking
25:40
on me about autocross for years now.
25:43
No, actually a little bit harder than you thought it was.
25:46
No, the driving was fine.
25:47
It was everything else we screwed up.
25:49
Yeah, you know, it was it was the equivalent of like walking
25:52
into an entirely different environment
25:55
because we've only done like one autocross before that.
26:00
So kind of going in there, it's like, oh, that's what that means.
26:03
And as the cars are going by, I'm like, well, what does that mean?
26:07
You know, what are the what are those letters mean?
26:09
And then I'm like, and the letters kept going.
26:12
It was like AST, BST, CST.
26:15
And, you know, at one point we were like up a G.
26:17
I'm like, do you get the whole alphabet?
26:19
You know, and he's like, no, he goes, I think they stop at H
26:22
because one of the guys had the flags that was there.
26:24
And I'm like, well, I want to work hard enough just to get B.S.
26:27
on my car. That's what I want. Just B.S.T.
26:32
So, you know, and then like towards into the second, I'm like,
26:36
oh, that's what that little box is.
26:37
That's the time. OK, because I wasn't even paying attention to the time.
26:41
I was just driving, you know, so just just it was just.
26:47
You caught on quick, but I but I was so focused on other things.
26:50
I'm like, and then it took a while for everything to kind of knit together.
26:53
And I'm like, OK, now I get it.
26:55
And then with the shared card, they wanted us to change the numbers
26:58
in between drivers. Yeah.
27:02
Yeah. Just put a one on the end of it every time I got in.
27:07
So it's OK. No big.
27:10
No, we got this covered.
27:12
So, Jeremy, I'm saying it sounds like a very long day for four minutes of driving.
27:19
Yeah. But, you know, I made I made friends.
27:23
This whole social aspect, the driving is fun.
27:29
Yeah. If you just, yeah, I'm just doing a lot of talking.
27:33
Yeah. So so one of the guys, one of the guys was there.
27:36
He's like, so how different is this from like your racing?
27:40
And I said, well, in our racing, you kind of get it is pricey,
27:43
but you get your bang for your buck and we've converted many autocrossers.
27:50
Come in, come in. We've got cookies.
27:52
You know, we haven't actually even done an autocross in two years.
27:56
Yeah. That's perfect.
27:57
Next year, Audra, Max and I are going to go do an autocross somewhere
28:04
because I've never done one.
28:06
And that would be so much fun.
28:09
We're close enough that we could find a place and go.
28:12
If you do it and schools in session, we will come up and visit
28:16
and we will do it too.
28:18
Yeah. How long does it take you to get to Devon's, Jeremy?
28:24
I think Jeremy wins the New Hampshire Internet.
28:29
Yep. Jeremy, you're back.
28:33
That's one way to have liked that question, I guess.
28:36
I guess he doesn't know.
28:37
You back, Jeremy. There he is.
28:40
What was that? Look, I heard how long and that was it.
28:42
Oh, I was just wondering, Jeremy, how long does it take you to drive
28:47
from like your house to Devon's?
28:52
I don't know. I've never driven there.
28:56
Well, it's probably 38 seconds or so.
28:58
Where is Devon's? Where is Devon?
29:01
Air mass, surely mass around that area?
29:07
Well, it's probably an hour and 20 minutes.
29:08
Maybe an hour and a half.
29:10
That's about what it takes for us to get there as well.
29:14
Yeah. If it's too far,
29:18
Audra knows a nice haunted house we can rent on Airbnb.
29:21
And that would be like 40 minutes or four hours for a bill.
29:25
Yeah, probably. That's kind of extreme.
29:29
It's all right. You guys are worth it.
29:32
Yeah. And that haunted house would be great.
29:34
Yeah. Well, not Jeremy, but you guys.
29:36
We can take Audra back.
29:43
Do we want to do we want to let anybody into the the inside joke
29:46
in case they missed that episode?
29:48
Well, Airbnb, that was very, very scary.
29:53
Wasn't there like a.
29:58
Yeah, yeah, this is weird loft with like an old lady chair
30:04
Yeah, sounds great.
30:05
You know, that was, you know, running across the golf course
30:08
with, you know, adult drinks in the dark.
30:13
And we're not supposed to be there, but anyway, the murder.
30:19
Well, that wasn't the plan for the weekend.
30:21
So that's that's one reason you got to make
30:24
got to make the best of a bad situation.
30:26
So we've got some upcoming races.
30:28
You do. Yes, we do.
30:30
Jeremy Max and Audra will be at.
30:33
We'll be at lemons at New Hampshire.
30:36
Jeremy's home track.
30:38
The rest of you guys will be at summit the following weekend.
30:44
And we have I'm just saying I'm calling my shot.
30:48
We got one hell of a theme for there.
30:53
I am about done the list to get to the transmission.
31:00
Yeah, I think out of all the list, I talked about.
31:05
You did everything that you and I talked about when I was there.
31:10
I the throttle body was actually seized.
31:15
So I had to take it off and completely clean the whole thing.
31:18
I actually took it to a friend of mine and I'm like, hey, I can't.
31:22
I can't unfreeze this.
31:24
Yeah, so he did it.
31:26
And anyway, got it all cleaned up, put it back on.
31:29
But now next time, say Simon says that's right.
31:35
But now the idle is almost like open idle.
31:38
So I so I call Chris yesterday.
31:39
He's like, well, there's a thing in the back to adjust it.
31:42
And then, you know, the throttle cable, just a throttle cable.
31:45
And that should, you know, ease that up.
31:48
So I'm like, well, I didn't do anything different.
31:52
Did you make sure those vacuum lines that I found that were disconnected?
31:55
Did you make sure those were all connected?
32:00
I'm going to go through and double check everything again.
32:03
We see vacuum lines suck.
32:07
Let's see. What did I leave it?
32:09
I still have to put the boot on the.
32:18
Do a little exhaust maintenance.
32:20
And check the rockers and nothing bolt.
32:22
But then I'm trying to get it to the point when I can.
32:27
I could take it for a drive to check the transmission,
32:29
because I can do the rest of it if I don't have a transmission.
32:33
You know, so I don't have a transmission issue.
32:36
Right. So I have a friend that I might have to take over to Zephyr,
32:40
but he says that it could be the slave master
32:45
or the clutch master or the.
32:50
Yeah, the slave cylinder or the slave master, Mr.
32:52
Master, Mr. Sleeve.
32:54
Yeah. So he thinks it might be something like that.
32:58
Didn't you say there was an adjustment to?
33:00
Well, that was the adjustment.
33:02
That was the adjustment.
33:03
It's been a pain in the butt to bleed.
33:04
Remember, we spent hours and hours at Pittsburgh leading.
33:07
Yeah, but that would not give me not fifth.
33:10
Like I did not have fifth.
33:12
And I know we don't need fifth,
33:14
but I don't want to drive a car that I can't get into fifth
33:17
unless it creates a problem somewhere else.
33:20
No, you don't even need fifth.
33:21
As long as it shifts through first first through fourth.
33:25
Right. Yeah, we don't have enough in there.
33:29
We don't have a force power to need fifth.
33:31
Yeah, but but again, I go back to the whole situation
33:34
if I don't have fifth and it was built for fifth.
33:37
If I don't have a fifth gear,
33:39
will that create a problem somewhere else?
33:41
It was built not to be a race car.
33:44
No, it won't create a problem.
33:46
OK, if everything works perfectly fine
33:49
and you have per second, third and fourth.
33:51
Yes, you won't go into fifth
33:54
and don't ever try to put it in fifth.
33:55
Just drive it four speed will fix it over the winter.
33:59
That's and that's fine.
34:00
That's the only thing I need to worry about.
34:01
And then, of course, the speedometer.
34:05
Yeah, so you don't need a speedometer.
34:08
I know, but I still would like to stop it.
34:13
You can fix things before you go to the car.
34:16
If you're telling me you don't need it, you don't need.
34:19
It's supposed to have it, so I need to fix.
34:21
I need to understand how to fix it.
34:23
Stop it. Understand how to fix it.
34:25
But don't know that you don't need it
34:27
because you should never be looking down at the speedometer.
34:29
Yes. And I know that.
34:31
But what does she going to know how she does it?
34:33
The thing is, is that it already I already put a new speedometer
34:37
a speed sensor in it.
34:38
Oh, I remember that.
34:39
Yeah, because there was a whole thing.
34:42
So I ordered a new one and put the new one in.
34:44
And now it's not working.
34:46
And I know it's for the right one.
34:47
So anyway, I know more now than I did back then
34:52
when I did this whole transmission thing.
34:54
So I can go ahead and I can double check everything.
34:59
I don't know if I might just have a bad part.
35:01
I don't think that's it, but I'm going to double check it anyway.
35:05
Did you plug in the gauge?
35:08
Yeah, I'm going to go back and double check that.
35:10
So, I mean, that is the tack works.
35:13
The tack works so that everything it should work.
35:16
If it's going to work and the tack works
35:18
and all the other pages work on the instrument cluster, it should work.
35:21
Yeah. So, I mean, all in all, I don't think I need to check the rockers
35:28
because as soon as all those other adjustments were done,
35:31
everything was sounded pretty great.
35:33
And then I just need to not bolt it.
35:37
Honestly, I just got to put it back together.
35:40
So, but yeah, he sent me.
35:43
He sent me quite the list.
35:45
Oh, I can't say it, but we have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
35:50
We had like 10 things that we were working on.
35:53
So I think I'm down to like two left.
35:55
OK, I could start assembling it.
35:57
And even though even those aren't even terrible, they're just really fast.
36:09
Well, Eric's involved.
36:14
What's that Stallone movie over the top?
36:19
Yeah, over the top.
36:22
Welcome to the land of Eric.
36:26
I think the only thing that's got him bothered is he's got like two
36:29
different musical numbers that he hasn't quite figured out yet.
36:31
So. Oh, he'll figure it out.
36:34
Don't worry. I didn't.
36:35
I didn't say he wouldn't.
36:36
I just said he doesn't have it yet.
36:37
So that's bothering him because it'll be amazing.
36:41
He's a I was going to say multicultural now.
36:44
What's what is that?
36:45
A he would he would be the egot of lemons seeming.
36:52
He would be exactly.
36:55
So we're doing some of point.
36:57
Never been to some point.
36:58
Anybody else been to some point?
37:00
No, sir. No, I can't wait to go someday.
37:03
Yeah, we might have to.
37:04
You know why we might have to.
37:08
Oh, the sad news that has everybody
37:11
curled up in the fetal position.
37:13
Hey, we're not going to talk about that.
37:15
No, I'm just really happy that we were able to go.
37:19
And, you know, I mean, we went twice.
37:21
You guys went more.
37:23
Yeah, we've been telling you to go for how long, right?
37:28
So I did hear some insider information about this.
37:31
We've beaten around the bush to Bush's name pit races closing.
37:34
So go ahead, insider information, please.
37:40
I have a source that believes that some of the.
37:52
By the fact that they had.
37:57
Incredibly unfortunate events this year.
38:07
Two motorcycle, one car.
38:10
And my source knows that the one of the people that.
38:16
With the with the car, the car, the car personally, but also with the track
38:22
and has been there and worked there.
38:24
So that source believes that that could have helped sway that big decision
38:32
they probably already had an offer, but refused it.
38:35
And then this happened this year.
38:38
And so I mean, it's terrible.
38:41
We all we all have to accept that responsibility when we go to a racetrack,
38:45
but we don't ever think about like the owners of the track and the things
38:49
that they have to go through because those unfortunate things happen at their track.
38:53
So with that said, it is the worst news, in my opinion, in racing.
39:00
In the last whatever, because that, in my opinion, is the best track in the country.
39:07
Now, with that said, there's a few I haven't been to, but I love that track
39:11
more than any other track in this country.
39:12
But you've been to how many tracks, like 50.
39:15
I've been to over 50 tracks.
39:17
Yeah. So it's not like, you know, I've been to six tracks.
39:19
I mean, you've been to.
39:20
Right. I've been to over 50 tracks.
39:22
That is my favorite.
39:23
I have to count them, but that is hands down my favorite track in the country.
39:28
And it is unfortunate, but, you know, we don't know the things that go on
39:33
with the behind the scenes stuff.
39:36
So it is very sad, but like Max said, it's awesome that all of those
39:41
that were able to race there were able to race there.
39:45
And it's just unfortunate that these things happen in life.
39:49
Right. So I have one question.
39:53
Perhaps you would know since you have this inside info, Jeremy.
39:56
If if we win the four hundred and fifty million dollars,
40:00
is it too late to put in an offer and keep it open?
40:03
I do not believe that Amazon would sell it to us.
40:07
It is going to be an AI data center
40:12
as well as they are Amazon's doing something else there as well.
40:17
I'd have to win a really big lottery to have more money than Bezos, I think.
40:21
Yeah. Well, yeah, yeah.
40:23
And it's kind of crazy that they're using that facility
40:26
because there's so much free, open, empty land around there.
40:32
But I think it's just the fact that it's on top of the hill
40:34
that makes it perfect for satellite and, you know, AI and all that crap.
40:39
It's got the water tower right there, too.
40:44
So pit race, I think we're too late.
40:49
It's very sad. It's terrible.
40:51
Well, you two did get to race there, though.
40:53
So that's job well done.
40:56
Yeah, thank you, Jeremy.
40:58
I think we all got to race there, which was nice.
41:00
We were all able to race there this one last year.
41:05
I was there. Oh, no, I didn't go there because I was sick.
41:10
Yeah, so, I mean, you know, it's unfortunate.
41:13
It really truly is. It's sad, but maybe someone will
41:17
create a new pit race, a better pit race.
41:21
It's going to be tough.
41:22
That was a nice piece of property they had, too.
41:27
And they just got done building all the buildings and everything.
41:29
So yeah, I mean, it's just sad.
41:31
Like I I had no idea that they had had any
41:36
incidents like that at all.
41:39
No, well, I mean, nobody talks about them if they do happen.
41:43
So, you know, that's kind of a piece of information that
41:47
it really, you know, it really changed your whole
41:50
perspective on the whole thing, right?
41:52
Yeah, that of the tracks we go to, that's one of the safer tracks.
41:56
I'm not going to say it's the safest track because there's some tracks
41:59
that are like middle of nowhere with no walls ever.
42:01
But, you know, there's only
42:07
two, maybe three places you can get into trouble there in a big way.
42:15
Yeah, but there there was an accident, a really bad situation on the carding track.
42:24
That was an awesome carding track, too, by the way.
42:26
Yeah, there was a listen.
42:28
I grew up with Action Park being open.
42:30
So, you know, my right.
42:34
I mean, that place was like a human hamburger machine.
42:36
It was just like, send them in, rip up up, send them out.
42:43
I cried myself to sleep the other night.
42:46
I thought it was a good idea to have a
42:50
tube water slide that does a loop-de-loop.
42:55
Oh, I think that's great.
42:56
I want to do it right now.
42:58
Think about where the water flows, even if you had the water going.
43:01
The water doesn't stay on the outside.
43:03
When you're at the top, the water's at the bottom.
43:07
That's the best rug burn ever.
43:10
You should have seen some of the people that got out of that puppy.
43:12
Skin? Don't need no stinkin' skin.
43:17
Imagine if you got stuck at the top and then
43:19
big old Bubba's coming behind it to unplug the.
43:23
Oh, yeah, unplug the unplug the plumbing.
43:32
Too many flashbacks to Action Park.
43:34
Where is they called in the documentary?
43:36
What did they call it? Traction Park?
43:40
Last action. That's what it was.
43:42
Yeah, I guess it was our nickname was Traction Park
43:46
because everybody went there, came out and had to go to Traction.
43:49
Anyway, OK, so Jeremy, trucks ready?
43:54
I haven't even looked at the truck.
43:56
OK, no, I'll pull that out Monday and we'll take a look at it.
43:59
So take note of that, Miss Vicki.
44:00
When Jeremy says don't worry about it, don't just ignore it.
44:03
Look what he's doing. Yeah.
44:05
No, we're I mean, we're taking the BMW.
44:06
I haven't even looked.
44:07
Oh, I thought you were taking the truck.
44:08
OK. No, no, no, we're going to BMW.
44:10
We're going to truck also?
44:12
No, no, no, no, I mean, we might bring it over there
44:15
and put it for sale sign on it.
44:18
Those of you that might listen, we're not going to ship it to Kenya.
44:21
I'm sorry. I know guys.
44:23
I got friends there.
44:25
We're talking royalty.
44:27
The the awesome, reliable, super fun to drive.
44:32
L. Hefe is going to be up for auction here soon.
44:36
No, you better let Jeff know.
44:38
Jeff keeps petting it every time we walk.
44:41
Oh, I already tried to sell it to him.
44:44
No, he doesn't want to.
44:46
He does, but he doesn't.
44:48
I want you to go for it.
44:49
It's for it. It's a stowage.
44:52
It's got a brand new motor, a brand new transmission.
44:54
It's got the rear end is swapped into a limited slip rear end.
45:00
It's got all kinds of new parts.
45:02
It's we put stiffer springs in the front
45:06
to help with the lack of traction in the rear,
45:10
because apparently a Chevrolet limited slip
45:12
is not a true limited slip rear end.
45:15
It's a limited slip.
45:16
It will still allow the inside wheel
45:19
if there's too much weight lifted off of it.
45:21
It will still allow the inside wheel to do a complete burnout
45:26
just like we see those stupid Cordova's do
45:28
every time they go around the corner of the hill.
45:31
Nothing like nothing like a one wheel peel, man.
45:33
And that's what L. Hefe did.
45:37
So we put heavier springs in the front to eliminate that
45:40
and it seemed to work pretty good at New Jersey.
45:43
So let me translate this.
45:44
You have fixed everything that's wrong with the truck.
45:47
You have dialed dialed the truck in.
45:50
Yeah, you have race proven that it is good to go.
45:54
Yeah. And now you're getting rid of it.
45:58
Somebody's going to be lucky.
46:02
I think it's going to fall into the right hands
46:04
of someone that has decided they want to try lemon.
46:06
That'd be a great car to start with.
46:09
It is a good starting car.
46:11
And it's a great car for experienced people.
46:13
It is. No, but I meant like it just runs.
46:17
It just runs and it drives and it's fun.
46:20
The best part about it is when you get to drive around
46:23
the outside or the inside of Viadas
46:27
and E30s and some E36s
46:33
It's just and you can outstop almost everything on the track.
46:36
Yeah. I think everybody it may be Max.
46:39
Max, did you drive it?
46:41
I have not driven it.
46:42
OK, so you're the only one on here who hasn't driven it.
46:45
All just driven it.
46:46
Vicky's got a bajillion miles on it.
46:48
I think. Jeremy's driven it.
46:53
Probably almost as much as we have a lot.
46:56
Yeah. So it's a fun truck.
46:59
I would we have lots of theme ideas.
47:01
We've got it set up now that theming is very quick.
47:05
You can just use those boards on the back and boom.
47:08
New thing knows what will happen.
47:10
Maybe we'll just keep it for next year
47:12
and just take it to the tracks and just have other people drive it.
47:15
We'll see what happens.
47:16
Miss Vicky, it's not an audio part. It's not a video.
47:18
I know. So what do you think is going to replace pit?
47:24
Some point. Some point.
47:29
Do you think lemons might have had a head up,
47:31
which is why they're starting some point?
47:33
No, no, nobody has the heads up on this.
47:37
No, no, even I think extreme was set to go there next year already.
47:41
Oh, we already paid the we paid deposit.
47:46
Yeah, we paid the deposit like two weeks ago.
47:48
Yeah. So this this was a surprise to just about everything.
47:51
Yeah, this was a complete surprise.
47:53
I guess it was like.
47:57
The decision was made.
48:01
A week before it all came out.
48:03
Yeah, like before everybody started talking about it.
48:07
You know, two weeks ago.
48:10
So yeah, this week.
48:11
But like so the decision, maybe a week and a half ago was made.
48:14
Yeah, within the last two weeks, they decided, you know,
48:17
what the weirdest thing about this whole thing for me is
48:20
if you want to start a flame war in the racing.
48:26
Social medias, what brake pads?
48:30
What's what safety harnesses?
48:32
What what anything?
48:34
Not anybody says it's a good thing that it's gone.
48:39
Everybody loved that track.
48:44
Yeah, it's it's sad.
48:46
But yeah, lemons will use summit and then they'll have to find
48:49
somewhere else to take the overflow again,
48:51
because I think we're going to run into the same issues.
48:53
Yeah, we're going to have too many cars for not enough tracks.
48:55
Yeah, too many cars for four tracks.
48:58
You know, it could come back.
49:03
Now, now, Eric will never.
49:06
Now, I don't think I don't think lemons will ever go to lightning.
49:09
We have since we've been since we've been doing it, you know what?
49:13
And that was that was because of a of a situation that they didn't have
49:18
a choice that was a SCCA booking took the other track.
49:22
And then we went to lightning and we had that incredible
49:25
the worst rollover incident lemons has had.
49:29
That was the guy that did the car wheel.
49:30
Remember, right? Yeah, yeah, I remember that one.
49:33
I forgot that was there.
49:34
I thought that was Thompson for a minute.
49:35
Oh, yeah, they yeah.
49:37
Audra wasn't there for that one.
49:38
There was a guy who threaded the needle coming out of the bowl
49:42
on on lightning and he went up in between tried to cars.
49:50
He ended up cartwheeling his car.
49:53
Oh, my God, a few times, a few times.
49:57
You can watch the in car.
49:58
You can watch the video from the one of the cars.
50:00
You can watch the video from a car behind.
50:03
Yeah, it's pretty crazy.
50:04
At absolutely 100 percent his fault.
50:07
Yeah, you ought to put himself there.
50:09
He was an arrive and drive.
50:11
Audra was Audra Max.
50:14
They were they were going through the end of the corner
50:17
and he wedged himself in between and his tire
50:20
hit the other tire of the other car.
50:22
And it just shot him straight up in the air
50:24
like that rolled him up over the car.
50:26
Yeah, it was like that.
50:28
Yeah, it was like the dark night in the truck.
50:30
But, you know, that was the same place that Mark Petronis got.
50:34
Got he did the same thing and he ended up in the trees.
50:37
Yeah, where he had his really nasty accident.
50:40
Yeah, because the ball when you come out of the ball at lightning,
50:42
it is incredibly fast and it and it's wide.
50:47
And all of a sudden it kind of comes back down
50:49
and everybody's trying to fight for position right there.
50:51
Well, it comes back down and it's got a slight kink.
50:56
Straight, straight anymore.
50:57
They brought that car in like a shark
51:00
that they just pulled from the ocean, like upside down.
51:03
Just hanging on a tow truck.
51:06
It was it was terrible.
51:08
This is the one that ate that swimmer.
51:10
Oh, sorry. Yeah, it was bad.
51:13
I mean, he was fine.
51:14
He walked away from it.
51:15
But I think that whole team got banned, didn't they?
51:19
They give you a roller car.
51:26
Speaking of things that were bad,
51:27
I took Miss Vicki to finally see Jaws.
51:32
The original movie?
51:33
Yeah, she never saw it.
51:41
Three, three, two, maybe, I don't know,
51:44
F bombs, top of her lungs.
51:48
Punched me like there is no business.
51:52
Just hauled off and punched me
51:54
right in the middle of the theater.
51:57
This nice older woman.
51:58
I have been dodging that movie for decades.
52:01
This this nice older woman was
52:03
sitting in the theater with us.
52:06
Just the language and coarseness of this.
52:09
And I was required to tip her off
52:12
for the scenes that you should jump at,
52:18
And she still punched me.
52:20
No, not all of them.
52:22
I told you it was coming.
52:23
I said, it's coming.
52:25
Yeah, you said here.
52:26
And I said, yes, it's coming.
52:28
And that they weren't the worst of them.
52:29
And then it comes out.
52:31
No, they were the gory, scary ones.
52:34
I still have the Bruce.
52:36
Oh, Vicki, you don't like scary movies.
52:38
No, no, well, I'm not a fan of them,
52:40
but I've been dodging that one
52:42
because I grew up on the water.
52:44
So like from time when I was a kid,
52:47
that I was at the beach like every frickin' weekend
52:49
with my dad, with the pontoon boats.
52:51
And, you know, it was I have no desire
52:53
to go see that movie. Excuse me, judge.
52:58
We've lived in nice places with rather warm water.
53:00
You don't go in the ocean.
53:04
You complain that the water was cold
53:06
when we were at Hawaii.
53:07
It became a stigma at that point.
53:09
I just can't become a stigma
53:11
before you see the movie.
53:13
No, about avoiding it.
53:16
Yeah, I was avoiding it.
53:17
I just I had no desire to see it.
53:19
And but I do have to say, I do have to say it's a good movie.
53:27
It is a good movie.
53:28
The way they the way they put everything together
53:31
with that, of course, there was no CGI, obviously.
53:34
And there was no sea.
53:35
There was no sea. There was nothing.
53:37
And, you know, now I mean, there's a whole lot
53:39
more build up and whole.
53:40
But they really did a good job
53:42
putting that movie together the way they did.
53:43
I was really impressed, I got to say.
53:45
You were impressed enough to punch me.
53:48
That was reactionary.
53:49
So, Bill, did you have your pillow in the tub?
53:51
Before you left the house?
53:59
Once I bandaged up my arm when I got home.
54:02
I think at one point I just yelled like the F word,
54:06
Yes, you did in the movie.
54:08
But but it was only us
54:09
because it was like one of the last weeks of running.
54:12
And there was an older woman who was in there.
54:14
And I think I yelled it so loud, she just got up and left.
54:19
Because it wasn't like a little F, you know,
54:21
it wasn't like a little one.
54:23
It wasn't like a oh, our group could hear it.
54:25
No, no, the people in the next theater could hear.
54:31
I'm scared you're that bad.
54:32
So we went with my son and his girlfriend, too, and Jennifer.
54:36
And I looked all the way down at the end of the row
54:38
at Sid and she had the boo face and shake her head like,
54:42
I'm not having a good time.
54:46
And I'm like a same boo face beneath.
54:49
It was pretty good.
54:52
Because it was terrible.
54:54
I finally talked him into it.
54:55
You know what I did?
54:56
Here's the devious plot.
54:59
I think anybody who listens to the podcast knows that I asked her to go.
55:01
Even on the last wood episode,
55:03
I was to the point where I was going to drive three hours
55:05
to go see Jeff to go see this movie.
55:07
You know what I ended up doing?
55:09
Hey, Liam, you want to go see Jaws?
55:13
Oh, why don't you see if your mom wants to go?
55:15
She's like, oh, sure, I'll go.
55:17
Well, it wasn't quite like that.
55:19
There was contemplating and I'm like,
55:21
well, if my son is going to ask me, then I'll go.
55:24
So bottom of the barrel, one in the tub.
55:30
Yeah, I got no pull.
55:34
So we got to do a post-posterace New Hampshire.
55:41
Say good night to you all.
55:42
Let you guys finish the podcast.
55:44
I've been here since 4 a.m.
55:47
Good luck at the Good Luck with New Hampshire.
55:49
Two teams represent.
55:51
Yeah, we're going to represent.
55:52
I feel like we've got both cars, top 30 cars.
55:58
Max, you going with that?
56:09
Did they get a garage?
56:15
As long as you have a garage, I have found,
56:18
here's the second rule of the lemons.
56:20
If you get a garage, the weather is usually nice.
56:23
If you don't get a garage, the weather is usually trash.
56:27
You always get a garage.
56:33
So we'll try to figure out where you guys are,
56:35
and then maybe we can move garages,
56:37
switch with somebody.
56:51
And then we'll try to support the team
56:53
while you guys are licking your victory or wounds,
56:56
whichever way it goes.
56:57
And we'll try and do some appointments a week after.
57:00
I think Friday night we'll do, or Friday, whatever.
57:03
We'll do a little walk and talk Saturday.
57:05
We'll do some walk and talk Saturday night.
57:09
We will be available.
57:13
Thanks for putting up for my IT from hell.
57:17
How do you all this afternoon?
57:19
Talk to you guys soon.
57:33
Tax Act can think of a million things more fun than filing taxes.
57:40
Tax Act is going to name some now.
57:43
Sitting in traffic.
57:44
Folding a fitted bed sheet.
57:47
Listening to your coworker talk about his fantasy team.
58:03
Digging an even larger hole next to that original hole.
58:06
Unfortunately, Tax Act's filing software can't make taxes fun.
58:11
But Tax Act can help you get them done.
58:14
Tax Act, let's get them over with.
