My experience transitioning out of the Navy was I felt I lost both community and purpose. It is surprising how working on a beater race car with a bunch of crusty vets can really give you both. Thank you for all the support you have given us!!!
Looking forward to it too - hopefully no rain this time. Yes we changed one of the hangers at Barber - what I found was two things - the exhaust as modified to remove the catalytic converter isn’t quite the shape it was before so it was misaligned at the back - putting lateral strain on the hangers, plus the wider tires on the 16” wheel was causing the tire to rub on the silencer, putting even more strain on the hanger. I managed to fix it by reversing the hardware so the hangers are more vertical. That exhaust weighs too much and is too quiet (some of the drivers said they couldn’t hear the engine), so that will be a modification in the near future!
Congrats on the trophy! Sounds like a wonderful cause that you're racing for. I always enjoy your VLOGs Steve, you have to do them more often 😂 Hopefully I'll be able to join you next time when my E36 isn't broken!
