^^ Sweet.....Now for the Plan.

I'm going to Edgewater for some Nasalgic car Drags in the A.M. with my Father then meeting up with everyone at the Park. I'll be at the Park between 1-1:30 since I'm riding with my Dad to the Drag strip. We'll leave the Park arround 2-2:30 and cruise out to Brookville...A nice scenic drive, eat lunch and take some pic's at the Lake/Dam so bring your camera's!!

My cell # is 513-503-7475. If anyone needs help finding there way in please call me. If I don't answer leave me a message with a # I can call you back at. Sometimes I miss calls

Directions from Columbus. 71 South to 1-275 West to I-74 West and follow to exit #3 Dry Fork Road. Turn right off the exit and follow to the next stop sign (1 mile or so). Turn right at the stop sign and follow down a small hill,cross over the new bridge and turn right into the park. There are spots on the left and right side of the road when you pull in. We will meet there. If your the first one there just pick a spot and flag people down as the pull in.

Again call me if your lost

For those of you that show'd up Thanks for coming and hope you have a good time even though the food at the Mounds took FOREVER and a day to get out to us. Glad to meet you Tom, hope you attend more of the meets that are around.

FUNNY STORY! The damndest thing happened on the way home. After I broke off with Phil and Tom on 275 and started toward home I thought I'd stop and take some pictures of the car. Well I was positioning the car and all of a sudden the car started to beep at me, kinda like you know when you have the keys in it or the headlamps on... ya know. Well the car was still running so it was pretty weird, I look down at my dash and who would have guessed it... the coolant temp is just about to full on RED. Hmm says Jason

So I pop the hood, take a look... WOW, no coolant in the overflow tank, that explains it. So I shut the motor off since running the heater wouldn't do a damn bit of good if there isn't any coolant going through it. I can't remember if I have any more Zerex G05 coolant at hope so with it being a sunday at about 6:30 maybe I get on the horn to Autozone where they used to carry it and see if they had any instock to get someone to run over and pick me up some while I let the engine cool down. Guess what... autozone stopped carrying it and the only other place that I can remember that carries it is Sears Automotive and they're closed. So I sat for about 30-40min waiting for the car to cool down enough to drive home.

I drive home, take a look at the tank again, yeah no coolant. Then I want to make sure my fan is atleast working so I start the car, wait a bit and nothing... weird since it should be hot enough for it to kick on. I look a little closer and the fan it just kinda jiggling and upon further inspection with a screwdriver the fan isn't even on the motor... NICE! In the end... Looks like I'll be pulling the fan shrould to fix that and find someplace that sell Zerex G05 coolant or I'll be making a trip to the dealer for some Mopar which is the same as the Zerex.

Meet was fun... kinda disturbing that I drove all that way like that and I know I had coolant in there recently. Makes me wonder if I have a leak which I doubt since I haven't seen any puddles.

Ahh well... maybe later tonight when it cools down I'll be pulling the fan out.

^^ It was great to chill with you guys today, thanks. Ummmmm, Jason...... wouldn't a little distilled water have helped? (Just a thought).

Post by **Diablo0** » Sun Aug 21, 2005 7:53 pm

Yeah and I have a few gallons here in the garage but... since I discovered the fan issue I didn't put any in since well... I'd just be draining it back out again very soon.
