Pandamonium Racing: November 2009

http://pandamoniumracing.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

A panda never forgets. Thursday, November 26, 2009. She even worked in a plug for the racing team. Oh, did you want to see video from the race? Monday, November 23, 2009. Arse Freeze Apalooza 2009: part 1. Here's half of the full story, as I remember it. The other half will follow. Travel to the Race (Thursday). The 3 of you who are regular readers of this blog will remember a post saying the panda only needed a few things. Ling Ling was sitting on the trailer, waiting to get some more attention. Since i...

Pandamonium Racing: Work continues into the night

http://pandamoniumracing.blogspot.com/2011/05/work-continues-into-night.html

A panda never forgets. Saturday, May 14, 2011. Work continues into the night. Two separate parts runs later, new halfshafts and wheel bearings. The passenger side one proves recalcitrant. The sun's going down. While we've been beating on the halfshafts, a second alternator replacement appears to have fixed the charge issues - once again 14v to the battery, rather than the 7-11v we were seeing earlier. If we're lucky, and if we ever get the bearing out, the lights might work. Update #2 - 3:23am:.

Pandamonium Racing: time to spin things up again

http://pandamoniumracing.blogspot.com/2012/06/time-to-spin-things-up-again.html

A panda never forgets. Sunday, June 24, 2012. Time to spin things up again. I posted some pics of the new car over at the Pandamonium Racing FB page. June 24, 2012 at 10:10 PM. The new Ling Ling has a T-Bar shifter? June 24, 2012 at 10:36 PM. That transmission is just temporary. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Time to spin things up again.

Pandamonium Racing: Reno!

http://pandamoniumracing.blogspot.com/2011/05/reno.html

A panda never forgets. Friday, May 13, 2011. This weekend's racing takes place in scenic reno-fernley, which is a track east of Reno in the high Nevada desert. We've brought just the one car, Ling Ling, and six drivers, plus crew, pandas, and kids. This race is a true 24 hr, starting 10am Saturday and ending 10am Sunday. We're totally excited for the opportunity to play "truth in 24", and will take turns impersonating Steve McQueen. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Work continues into the night.

Pandamonium Racing: May 2010

http://pandamoniumracing.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

A panda never forgets. Sunday, May 30, 2010. Going for broken 2010: results. We decided we'd be Very Serious this time out. The practice day would include pit stop practice. Fast pits. Teamwork. Clean driving. We were gonna win, again. This got really long, so I won't make you skip all the way to the bottom just to find out that we finished somewhere around 27th. It all started on Thursday night when we got to the race track. Arrival and Test Day. It seemed like a good idea at the time. At 3am, some of o...

Pandamonium Racing: March 2009

http://pandamoniumracing.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

A panda never forgets. Tuesday, March 17, 2009. The sky is, clearly, the limit. Now that we're gearing up for Reno, it seems like a good time to recap T-Hill. Vital stats:. Finished: 78th place (of 114 teams). Total laps: 168 (winner total: 335). Best lap: 1:37.456 (best in race: 1:31.474, by Blues Bros Racing after their backhoe-provided on-site weight reduction.). Miscellaneous casualties: Laz's ankle, which has not been quite the same since. So, we were fast, and finished more than half the race!

Pandamonium Racing: March 2011

http://pandamoniumracing.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

A panda never forgets. Monday, March 28, 2011. Infineon is an awesome track. So we totally didn't win. We came in around 40th, after some massive shenanigans with overheating at the end of the day on Saturday (threw the accessory belt, suspected that the water pump had jammed or failed; discovered, eventually, that the thermostat had disintegrated and jammed shut), and a collision on track on sunday resulting in some downstream panel beating, prying, wiring stuff shut, etc. From 24Hrs of Lemons - Sears P...

Pandamonium Racing: October 2011

http://pandamoniumracing.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

A panda never forgets. Monday, October 17, 2011. So long, and thanks for all the black flags. It was bound to happen sooner or later. Ling Ling is sold. On Saturday, I did one last minute fix to remove the thread chaser that was stuck in the rear hub (leftover from the ridiculous rear wheel bearing job in the Reno paddock):. Then I put Ling Ling on the new owners' trailer:. I kept the license plate). And they took her away. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't sad to see her go. I know I will :).

Pandamonium Racing: Midmorning

http://pandamoniumracing.blogspot.com/2011/05/midmorning.html

A panda never forgets. Saturday, May 14, 2011. Hour and a half, and half a tank of gas into the race. We only nearly lost one wheel. Car is running well. The Porsche crew beside us have been in three times so far with a fuel leak, out of a damaged filler vent line. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Work continues into the night. 24 hours of reno fernley. Post Infineon body work.
