Solvang, CA
So i went to see a football game in Santa Maria, (work project) and on the way back i snapped these shots in Solvang. Too bad i forgot to close my gas cover :P I can definitly see why amber corners look on red 8, this field does not look as good as i thought it would either.

Lesper: Solvang is such a fun little place. Gotta love all the little bakeries they have there.
You guys should all look into the big Annual RX Drive when it comes back next summer....drive from So Cal all the way up to Solvang. I bet there's tons of good photo ops up there.

Well I think I sold the RX-2 we will find out tomorrow (he said yes, waiting for deposit).
I dont feel like typing a lot, and I know most of you dont care, so Ill make it short. we worked on the 2 a little today and discovered a copuple problems, one the carb/throttle will not open all the way due to it hitting a bolt, and the trailing coil is not sparking what so ever.
after fixing both of those problems it is MUCH MUCH better. still not like it should be, but at least drivable. the guys was pretty happy with it so we will see it I get the deposit tomorrrow or wednesday or not. I put it up for sell on ...... friday, or saturday. I think it was Friday.
I will try and get some pics up tonight.
welcome back everyone.

oil pan is sweet!
detrick, when it is built it is cleaned beond belife. (took me like 40 hours to cean.) then once built, you tape up all the open spots. if you look at the pics you will see tape over the intake ports. I would imagine he taped up the exhaust ports after the pics were taken. unless he is keeping the header on, then he would tape up the header.
