You've got a nice line through that whole place. I don't know the track at all, but I feel like I could get around there okay, after watching your lines.
Tell me about the two round-dial gauges on the center dash?

Hey thanks.
Chuckwalla is probably my favorite track. I've done it quite a few times now, so I feel I am getting better. There is still tons I could do to improve though...


The center gauge cluster is something that I custom built 2 years ago. It is installed where the cup holder unit was. The left gauge is the Oil Temp, the right gauge is the Oil Pressure. For temp, I use a VDO sender installed in the left rear valve cover plug location and a VDO gauge. For the pressure, I installed a Tee where the OEM oil pressure switch is located (right front valve cover) so the existing pressure switch still works, and I taped in with a VDO oil pressure sender. I also use a VDO gauge for that. I also installed a Fan switch and 2 switches related to my Accusump setup (ON/OFF and Bypass Mode ON). I have schematics for all this as well as wiring diagrams, Part Numbers if you're interested.

And I'd love to drive up to Utah this summer for PCA HPDE. Do they run during the summer?

Yup, only in summer.
C'mon up! Dinner's on me! ;-)

I don't know if the intermountain region of the PCA has the schedule posted a full schedule yet, but they've got several events on their calendar.

http://irpca.org/track-events
East track has more elevation, west track is faster and, in my opinion, more of a driver's skill track. Full track is just plain wicked-fun.... cuz you get it ALL. Outer loop is the fastest configuration, but it skips some of the fun-stuff.

Ha looks like fun... There's another one on May 31-June 1, might be up for that one.
That's a 13 hour drive, so might be able to do it in one long day
But hey, I did COTA and that was 1,000 miles....
