2010 - The Texas 8 event "Official Thread"
I just wanna say thanks to a great run guys, I had a blast and I am sure I can speak for the rest of the SARX members when I say I look forward to next year. My only recommendation would be to have a little earlier in the year

ohhhhh a cold weather run!!! now if we could get the weather to cooperate and have it on one of those gorgeous weekends when the sky is blue and air is crisp, it would be perfect!!! i can totally see the guys stopping for apple goodness and getting a fresh out of the oven apple pie to eat on the picnic tables lolll.
Well I made it home safely, but my engine is in need of a rebuild. I compromised a coolant seal. Oh well that's life. The trip was definitely F&^%ING worth it. We had a blast. Travis is already asking about next year. It was great meeting everyone. Thanks again.
Sucks dude, and you were not seeing high coolant temps. Maybe that means the coolant was not flowing correctly. You jinxed yourself by telling me how you were going to 150k on the original engine. Oh well, time for a rebuild
I remember him telling me about it, but we couldn't find anything leaking. I think it came out of the exhaust when I started it after giving it time to settle and mix with lubricants and gas. I don't have a sohn yet.



I called mazmart this morning to see if Mr. Engman would be so kind as to port me an engine.
I''ll let you guys know what I find out.
