Apparently the team somehow neglected to torque the drain plug in. The new engine is seized - on the parade lap. Our spare engine is in the swamp on our Captains house, ungettable, and they are totally screwed. Anyone have a line on a B18 or B20 they could get to CMP quickly? Anyone near Greenville?

Bueler?

Just got word that a SAAB with a 16 yr old driver took the checker for the Sat. part.

Damn that sucks. But look at it this way: it's cold up there right now. That's why we decided against the February race way back when. Yeah we are wussies.

I live in Greenville. "Up there" = here. I am also from central new york, so this isn't really cold.

The SAAB won overall.
