pulled corbeau seat last night to dry out the bottom.  still soaked from last weekend rausch rain prerunning.  suspention cords broken on bottom and left side.  Material failed on front of suspention web.  Spend most of the night repairing and stiching back the seat.  dont understand why this one failed so quick.  571 seats have been fine and still are.  guess its time for an upgrade.  again.

radiator level checked ok
orbital sheilded and no longer "in drivers compartment"  looks lame but in the"thought that counts" of the rules.

finished 25th over all.

thats not bad for being out of the car for 10 minutes fixing a stupid issue. 


50 miles in 2hrs 21 min.  felt like i had a lot of traffic laps 3,4,5.  lou was the only guy that passed me that WAS FASTER than me.

I did note that.

gotcha.

Mounting is certainly a concern but I think we'd all be safer with something like this (at least in cases where the throttle cable is able to be pushed on - 571 would need a different cable for a toe strap to be of any use), like the monsters are required to run

it was cheap enough to try.  Everyone says to try them i dont really see them being usefull.  no mud flap and hard to just grab one. 

I did great this weekend with just a roll of paper towels.  i would be unstoppable with a box of wipealls mounted to the roof. 



i have also considered a headlight wiper assembly or some other type of electric wiper.
