thats a good idea even though i just quit. i would prob. start back up.

LOL Nick.... always a shortage of smokes lol.... There's lots advice to be given, don't know how much I would say in public lol *devil*

we plan on bringing a lot of cigs....hell my co driver has a seperate fund for that alone

So the race is like prison! lol

Guessing having a supply could be a determining factor in who is thrown into a challange!  

Gotta wonder if we will see a "Team Marlboro"!

Any onther words of wisdom guys?

how does one hook up with a flag girl?

I don't know from experience but i would say bring lots of backup equpiment. Belts hoses spare tires ect.

Here's a "general" list of all the stuff we brough additional... just in case kinda stuff.

5 fuel filters

1 electric water pump (mezierre)

1 alternator

3 alternator belts

a FULL set of wheels and tires

Extra MSD electronic distributor

Extra MSD ignition Box

Extra MSD 3 stage rev control

Head Gaskets

Intake Gaskets

Torque Wrench

Extra Third Member (3.55:1 gears)

Extra 4-Speed transmission

Tons of misc. clips, lubricants, oils, fluids etc

Pretty much every tool you could ask for that wasn't air powered

Battery Jump box

Plug in cigarette lighter spot light

One extra rear end axle, just in case

Cylinder Valves, Valve Springs, Retainers, keepers, Rockers, etc

Pepto Bismol

Think that's the general list lol.... only thing that we needed that we didn't have was a brake line.... dammit lol. I would have literally brough at least 2 cartons of cigs for myself if I knew I'd be smoking as much as I did lol

It was quite a challenge fitting it all in a mini van... and was actually quite entertaining when we would make a turn in the car and all you hear is stuff falling in the back lol... Our drivers were never to happy with all our stuff, and when we had to change minivans they were especially not happy lol....

Oh yea, kept a "real" floor jack in the trunk of the dart.... just in case we "lost" our chase van and got a flat tire

how about drinking money.

if you plan to keep up with the production crew (professional drinkers) & those crazy Brits you better bring a lot

Guys, dont bring anything. It will all be provided. LOL--- trust me.

When do they cast for season 3?

You know, if they do season 3 on the East Cost, and we are cast... I'm going to have to re-evaluate what we bring along.

I mean, I'm probably going to need to leave behind my extra set of tires so I can leave enough room for Pendleton. From what I hear, you poor @#$%&*^s back in the east have a hard time getting real whiskey.. Want to make sure I have a full supply.

As for spare parst.. Heck, sounds like I should just pull an extra pickup behind us. Can't be too prepared I suppose!

Don't forget the grill and I like everything well done.

Thanks buddy

work out the whole pee on the go thing ahead of time.

extra shoes ( I am not kidding)

whisky, they do sell jameson at wallmarts in NM

a rig for a screen divider, you will be be sharing a hotel room and might not want spectators for your date with rosey palmer.

I noticed that team AVI used a can of "Fix A Flat" to limp home on a punctured tire. Add one to the list!

Well done?? I.... I.... Uh.... Well... I suppose I could try it once...

You know it on the grill though. I mean, if I will take it out in the boonies to go muddin, I sure as hell would take it on Bullrun. :) Wonder if they would allow it.. Hmm....

 

Replacing anything other than basic stuff is a pain in the ass for my car... an extra clutch? It'll take 6 hours to do if you have a lift. But I would bring Oil, oil filter, Air filter, fuel filter, fuel lines, brake lines, all the spare fluids you think you might need, spare rims & tires, sunglasses,  A banjo, harmonica... How about night Vision goggles?

Now about the pee situation... Go to a medical supply store and get one of those pee bottles they give you at the hospital.

Unless you're one crazy SOB and you want to get a catheter thing.

Now if you wanna get nasty, get some depends and act like a newborn, go as you see fit. LOL

Really though, of all you brought, what did you need/use?  I am thinking of belts hoses and stuff, you know roadside possible type stuff.  Head gasketts, rear ends, trannies.  Just not sure how much I will do wihout a lift.  You know better what you brought and needed. 

We only brought what we've had issues with before. Testing and tuning the car with the new powertrain, it was a lil difficult trying to find a drivetrain that could meet up to the requirements.... so even though we already had proven parts, we wanted to make sure it wouldn't cause us to lose. We've broken rear ends, twisted axels, broken trannies, and blew headgaskets... though it hadn't happen in a long time before Bullrun, we just wanted to make sure.

And out of everything, we might have used a few tools and several fuel filters lol. The car worked flawlessly until someone *cough cough* wanted to get a little sideways in the dirt... but even after that it ran very well, but after the roll at rattle the gas tank there was a bunch of stuff clogging up our fuel filters that we had to stop and change every other day or so, that you never got to see on TV. I was prepared to rebuilding the shortblock, while it's in the car, all night, from the bottom up if I had to lol.

You guys never taken a crank and pistons out while the block is still in the car before, to replace a few rings? Tisk tisk what kind of racers are you lol

Your too funny.  Had me a bit nervous.  Guess you have to expect the unexpected though.  What is the motto?  Be prepared!!

Thanks for the insight.  The plug in flashlight was not on my list.

Hole in floor, rubber hose, funnel. Good to go.

get that baby in the air stream may bee get a little suction

Might want to mahe sure you have a seat with a hole in it... Don't want to have a $100,000(or more) Bowel Movement.

Note... if I ever get on the show... I'm stayin out front.

I got it!  Don't eat or drink the entire time!  Nothing going in, nothing to come out.

Ok, everybody do that.  Not that I will, just trying to stack things, ya know.  lol

Sort of thinking there is a new game show in a post above.  The $100,000 bowel movement. You know feed contestants bran and prunes. Last one to the bathroom wins!

There could be all sorts of challaneges. Gotta figue Depends would be a sponsor. 

Sorry off topic. Just my creative mind running amuck!

^^^

Former military personnel would have the automatic advantage.... Might drop a noxious cloud, but a former military person can go days without poopin(some times weeks).

TMI!!! TMI !!!!!

It's all that military food... After you get to the point where it doesn't make ya get the squirts... you can pretty well handle anything...

Just because TMI is just more fun when it's REALLY TMI

SHOENOUGH!!!.

M-R-E Meal Ready to Eat. BULL !@#$.

Minimal
Rectal
Excretion.

or

Massive
Rectal
Evacuation.

3000 calories good for the whole day and you wont POO. (watchout for the peanutbutter)

Eeeeeeeeew

I taste bile.

who's bile Frenchie?   Is that a fetish of yours? 

Maybe...

Nah not really lol. It doesn't taste like bile...

Um, well, um.....

Have already worked out the pee thing, but the poo thing, that has to be worked out.

we carry a cook stove, propane, a toaster oven, coffee maker, water and supplies. Add a dometic cooler and a porta potty, a good blankey, and I am set.....we already live in his truck, how much harder could this be

As for the military food, you are right, once you get past the first week, pooping is harder to do...yeah, tmi, but having lived on board a ship, well, I can tell you, if you can't clean it up with a baby wipe, you have done too much already!!!!

Rhea, the little red headed girl

Lol

I'm tasting bile again
