    Posted: 19 May 2010 at 12:56am
Date May 22nd
Time Starts at 10am and runs till Dusk
Location 16908 104th Ave, Surrey B.C.

May 22nd Tech Session, this is the Pre-Arlington Tech
day. This is to evaluate any problems that have shown up
on the Hells Gate run, and fix them, as well as do a
double check for the Arlington run.   A US to Canada Tow
bill would cost more than what some of us paid for our
cars.   I will have a list of suggested tools to carry
for the event.

I will have the code scanner out for people
Plus the WinAldl cable for people who wish to do data
logging.

Please Bring if you have these items
Basic Wrenches
Basic Sockets
Container to remove your used oil
Grease Cartridge if you plan to lube your ball joints and
tie rod ends.

Cleaning stuff to shin up your car. We are doing a Pre
Arlington Tech, so a good clean car is nice for the
event.

Radios. I want to do a radio range test, where people
drive a distance away and see how well they work.

I am going to try and get my V8 ready for the run. I
really want to take it to Arlington this year.

Tools I have for use
Air Impact Gun
Electric Impact Gun
Air Grinders and Air Cutters

Various pliers, wrenches ratchets, sockets and extras.

Jack Stands
3 hyd floor jacks
plus lots of other misc tools.

You boys have fun, I'll be in California. Really do need to take my Gretchin to you some time though David. Whatever I've done, the clutch still doesn't have the on/off switch-like quality it did.

I'm planning on coming over to mount the new steering wheel I got off the wreck and maybe tackle the leaky coolant lines.

You won't be allowed back in if you can't spell the name of your own country correctly!

Nah man, I've stunned at least three Americans already by calling it that out loud.

I was wondering if you all know that a bottle of Coke doesn't make a very good engine coolant.   

I wished I could've been there.
