Gentlemen, thank you all for your congrats and support! I appreciate you all...

Woo Hoo! Yipee! Hip Hip, and all that! BADA$$ Slotus runs again
Yeah, feels good to say it that way, doesn't it?!?!? I used to call the car "The World's Most Dangerous Slotus." I'm looking forward to regaining that status soon.
@Geek- I'd say it was "Sort of sorted" at best... The engine and driveline seemed OK. Way-back-when, the original task was to sort out the handling. I'm going to return to that, if I get to stop doing engine rebuilds for a while!

You weren't kidding about that bow wave. You're much braver than I am.

You are better man then me! DJ, it's going to take a week to dry out both you and the car
There's a thin line between brave and stupid. I'm pretty sure I trampled all over it...
Besides, it was an autocross event, speeds were low enough to feel non-threatening. Although I did have a "moment" or two when sliding or blind... Or sliding AND blind...
@DaveW- "DJ"??? Dyslexia much?
It's OK, I get confused myself sometimes...

Did the starter ask what the Dickens you thought you were trying to prove...?
And I said, in my best English street urchin accent, "Can I have some moah, Suh?"

"the entire car hydroplaned" - and you tried to accelerate...!!???
Well, you know... When in doubt, gas it! It'll solve the problem or end the suspense. It didn't turn, so I tickled the throttle to get the car to rotate. It sort of worked... Sort of.. OK, reality is I have no idea how I got around that corner...
Gentlemen, again, thank you all. I'm not gonna say I couldn't do it without you (That's TWWTFM's job!) but it certainly wouldn't be as much fun without this group. And remember:

So stay tuned, come back any time, we're gonna be up to something soon. I don't know what, so it'll be a surprise to all of us!
Peace, Love and "Yep, that's a bow wave" -
