    Dick, I was lurking around on another forum ( not NAM) and realized you live in Thornton, CO. I used to lived in Thornton from 4th grade up to the end of 8th grade. We lived in the Sherwood Hills area off of E. 100th Ave.

    Really glad to see you on the road, Dick - and at Campbell. I snagged a Brew Ridge sticker for you, too.

    Dick, how the hell did this happen? :idea:

    I saw you on the Dragon while I was on my way out of the Dragon to 81 North to head home.

    Theres no sense in b1!#ing about the GP owner. Things coulda been worse, and we both need to improve where we both went wrong.

    Geeze, Dick, what a scary situation! I'm sure glad you and Isobelle are OK! While the Dragon loves to bite back whenever it can, it sure does not need any "help" from a guy who didn't even stop.

    Safe[r] travels home, my friend.

    Glad to hear you and the car are ok. When I 1st looked at that pic I thought the front end was up against a tree and this was going to be a horror story.. Here are a couple of shots I got of your car while parked at Fontana.

    I'd imagine Kansas is pretty torturous, no?

    Yeah, those where my stripes.

    Jan just had to do a little work because of the higher boost at low altitude. He did also change the idle as much as he could, but the throttle body is the problem with that. I need to get a new one as soon as I can.

    Also had to limp the car back home... Yesterday the bolts all came out of the bypass valve, and I couldnt find any at the hardware store that would thread in. So it was just keep out of boost, and keep an eye on the AFR's. Then this morning, I popped the hood and found the S/C belt lost a rib again! :(

    So it was a crappy drive back, but we made it in one piece, and I have stuff to work on this weekend.
