Received the MSR Packet - Some Clarifications
 
I was really happy to receive the e-mail from Jim Boden with the links to the MSR Packet. I learned a few things...such as I need to have steel braided brake lines! Whew! I have 4 weeks to get those instead of 4 days.

Also, regarding the directions to MSR, it should read South CR 48. People like me will turn left at North CR 48, eventhough that's only a few miles south of Highway 6!

I was also happy to see we can pre-register on Friday...Will we be allowed to keep our car there overnight?

And I was reminded to get a fire extinguisher...a mod I installed on my SHO after I actually needed it!

Finally, coolant flush, tranny flush, new oil, brake fluid flush, weld in new floor reinforcing plates, find magnetic numbers...Wow. Only 4 more weeks!

Gary,

I will update the directions on the form tonight, thanks.

Yes, you can leave your car there over night friday, at your own discretion.

4 weeks is an long time =D you knock all that stuff out in one weekend day.

Gary, just to clarify something... although stainless steel braided brake lines are certainly recommended and encouraged, they are NOT required. What IS more important is that you have sufficient pad thickness (especially on the fronts) AND fresh brake fluid!!

The fire extinguisher is also one of those things which are HIGHLY recommended but not required.

See you at the track!

Thanks Andy, for the clarification...After seeing what can happen to a car with NO brakes, I think I'll go ahead and get those braided lines! And fire extinguishers, for those of you who don't have one, are around $12...not bad! And you're right about brake pads!! Thicker is Mo Betta!

Need more people to sign up!!

Braided or stainless steel lines for are REQUIRED for 1996-1998 Cobras. 96-98 Cobras without these will not pass tech inspection. The SCMC has this rule based on past experience with brake line failures in these model years. The stock lines are rubber almost all the way up to the caliper. As a rusult they can get too hot and fail. This has occured more than once at past events. That is why it was added to the club tech inspection for as a REQUIREMENT.

Rick,

Thanks so much for the clarification. I am sorry for causing some confusion on this. I was not aware of this before now.

See you at the track!!

I will read up in Jim's email, and sign up tonite while I get ready for TWS. It will be nice to drive MSRH again.
