Its about 2 hrs drive from ventura. Try typing in bakersfield and where you live in yahoo maps or something to find out how far it is.

Are you sure that clutch is going, I have the FMS clutch too, 2 years, lots of abuse and its perfect.

anyone else?

Gotta wait until I swap the engine and rear end from the 86 to the 93.

fastang · 05-03-2001, 06:04 PM

Sky, Yeah, Im sure its goin. I shifted at about 5 grand yesterday and I could smell it for about 5 minutes. My throw out bearing is starting to chirp at me too. I was going to get a GT40 intake this month but it looks like Im getting a clutch instead.....maybe, just maybe I will get both.

that sucks fastang, when it rains it poors i guess

hey sky what do you think about the 19th of this month.(sat.) It's the first weekend after my finals! plus the next weekend is a 3 day weekend, may not be open or packed? can someone see if they are open on the 19th? i think they have special events sometimes and don't let just anyone race. if i find out something i'll let you no, but i'm not sure i'll have time

I'll see what i can find out. I know a guy who has raced there before several times.

46stang · 05-06-2001, 08:30 PM

ok it doesn't look like any special events on the 19th. here is the phone number for famoso 661-399-2210. I'll try to call monday to see what time it opens on the 19th, yada, yada. if you have time maybe you could call as well.

46stang · 05-08-2001, 11:15 AM

ok hears the deal. the next time it's open for time trials is fri. 25 & sat. 26th.
fri. is 6-11 at night. she said we would get at least 10-12 runs in!
sat. starts at 1pm but they have e.t. bracket racing. they will get to go 3 times in a row, for qualifing, then they would rotate it between e.t. guys and time trial guys. she said we should be able to get in at least 5 runs.
admission is $18 if you race, $12 if you watch.
im thinking fri. looks good. i may have to take off work early for some cooler air and 10-12 runs! what do you think?
