Made a little vid of the boat in action...

David linked me to this. Great video. You are silly fast with that thing.

It's that terribad on fuel?

Bring some spare gas cans or top off in Byers would be my suggestion.

I'm gonna go hit the sack, gotta wake up at the asscrack of dawn to not be late this time.

I guess it wasnt as bad as I thought. I averaged 11.8mpg from the station we met at, to and around the track, then down to Limon to fill up. I'm guessing I averaged about 9mpg on the track.

Vids from the day are pretty funny! Crazy tire movement can be seen in one angle!

When you broke your M5, I thought you hadn't actually broken it. So is it broken and if so, what broke? Do you still have it?

I rebuilt the head, now I just need to take the bottom end out and order all of the expensive parts so I can put it back together.

Pretty sure it was just kind of fluke overheat. Can't really figure it out. Definitely drank a tooon of coolant though.

My high-mileage basket-case of an M5 did 20mpg combined before I killed it. They don't have the efficiency of the E36 at all.

That's almost a 1/4 tank in the M5 :(

Do you guys stop and top off in byers?

Wasn't planning on it since we're meeting at the Shell. I'm bringing a couple extra gas cans to make up for the <2gal I'll burn on the way there.

It's exactly 50mi from the McD/Shell to HPR.

[fsmtnbiker]

Yes, I plan to leave the gas station at about 0805. Takes a good 50 mins from that meet point to HPR.

[clarkkey594]

Yeah, same place as last time? 0800 right?

Same place as last time but 7:50ish according to Chris.

I'm 85% sure on going saturday. If I can troubleshoot a miss the M5 is having (think it's the common ECU solder problem) then I'll be there lumping around in the barge.

Good luck! If it doesnt work come for rides anyway. Meet at the convoy point?

[Eric]

Anyone want to meet up at that McDonalds again?
