According to Mr. Webster:
TRILL:
1 : to flow in a small stream or in drops : TRICKLE
2 : TWIRL, REVOLVE
Maybe he pees on himself while he drives. Hope you have leather interior.

From what I hear, Depends is a really good brand for all day protection. I would think that three or four of them should protect his interior for the weekend....:D

This is an excerpt from a previous thread of mine. Maybe the spelling is correct? :D
"Now, for the real reason I'm starting this thread...
MY NEW RIDE CAME IN TODAY AND I'M SO FREAKING EXCITED I THINK I PEED MY PANTS 3 TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET IT HOME!"

Numbers
Hi Guys!
Do we need anything more than just the digits of our number
on the side of our cars? Lego looks like he has something
else infront of his number.

Thanks Gordon!
I just ordered them for pick up tomorrow! I'm getting a white background with dark green numbers. I hope that will be OK.
See you at Charlie's.

will ya'll talk about something else beside peeing on yourself. Damn what is this world coming too. Hey i'm pretty good at this crusty old man stuff! Now on with business.
Just spoke with Alan at Mazcare and Charlie and crew are trying to clean things up a bit so they can handle all of us. Also they were installing a light flywheel for someone else and mentioned our group to him and he said he also is going to show up on Friday. Our rep is speading. Maybe we need to design a club cap or something(please not another t shirt),maybe light jacket, maybe nothing? Tatoo? Body piercing? Too much to think about now?
Question ,what do I need for camera mount install. Time is short.

1 inch or 1/2 inch square aluminum bar. About 3 ft long. Lowes or Home Depot has these for a few bucks. I'll check and see if I have any extra from mine. If I do, you're welcome to it.

Front Toe In .01,.01
Rear Camber -1.4,-1.4
Rear Toe In .02deg, .02deg
I was running a bunch of rear toe in before so I reduced that. I also increased front camber but it isn't overly aggressive.

Those are very similar to mine and I really like them on the autocross course. And yes, I did autocross this Sunday and had a great time. Got setup to work in teh trailer so no more hot August cone picking for me! BTW, bought a 94 miata and am running that all year in CSP, bringing the 8 occasionally for fun. Already had Mazcare do wome work on it for me...
Speaking fo that, I am hoping to catch up with you guys at Charlies this Friday, if you are going out to eat later, I can hang for that too. Sat and Sunday look like a wash for me though, so I'll look for the pictures & videos. Oh, and anyone getting video with an instructor in the car, I would really love to be able to hear that & learn from them after the fact!

In about 24 hours I will be headed down to meet all of you and I should be there about 2:00 p.m., Friday. If possible, I would like to get started on Trace's flywheel asap. If he isn't there I guess I get a little more nap time before getting down to biz. I'm pretty geeked to be meeting all of you, enjoying Southern hosptaility and barbeque, and getting some pre-event pointers from those who know. Also, if there is a safe place nearby I'd be happy to showcase the nitrous system I have. I would like to have the tank empty for the return trip so I can install my blow-down tube when I get back. 
Commence countdown!!
