Bfest 2015
Had a great time met great people! After being to some car clubs/meets I didn't know what to expect. Cannot wait to go again next year!
Again a big thanks to everyone that planned the meet, very well organized. BBQ at the picnic was Fantastic ! I respect anyone that will travel with a smoker to an event.
I didn't take much for photos mostly as I was distracted by non-rusty berettas. Don't mind my thumb in half of them.
Trunk packed, good thing I travel light.
Custom rear lowering due to tool weight
First night! 17 hours to PA
Jon fuel pump

Re: Bfest 2015
Thanks for the pics! Looks like a successful 'Fest. Who would have guessed the 'Roadside Repair Award" would have gone to Jon?? Looking forward to seeing more photos, and hearing some traveling stories, when you guys have the time to share. Thanks again...

Re: Bfest 2015
Jon had a fuel pump fail? Damn I feel his pain if it was the case.

Re: Bfest 2015
Yeah I used an older walbro pump that I had sitting under my bench... I can't figure out what went wrong with it, I even ripped it open to see if the motor looked funny in any way but I couldn't see anything. I just dropped the tank again yesterday and reinstalled the pump I was running on my last engine.
I hope that works out ok because I tried the replacement to see if it could keep up with the nitrous fuel solenoid and the pressure would just drop off quickly. It was an ok replacement to get me to bfest and home tho.
If this one acts funny, I'm ordering a completely new bucket and the stock style walbro pump not the large center inlet style that I have.

Re: Bfest 2015
I have to admit seeing that pic of Jon's car on a dolly REALLY got my attention!
Jon's cars don't travel on dollies unless there is something horribly wrong.
Glad you got it sorted, at least to continue.

Re: Bfest 2015
I have had walbro pumps suck in the sock filter. It would only do it when it was tested with it submerged in fuel with the sock on it. Cost me a hefty tow bill from the strip and the new warrantied replacement did the same.3X00-Modified wrote:Yeah I used an older walbro pump that I had sitting under my bench...

Re: Bfest 2015
Adam, thanks for sharing the pictures! I like the one with my beer (I owe you guys beer next year, btw) in the sand, next to my flip phone, haha.
I had a great time and I cannot wait to do it again next year!

^^ The convoy arrived at the hotel.
^^ Waffle House goodness...
^^ Leaving Biloxi under our own power in the Quasar GTZ... I think Jon and I actually tied for this award.
Krystal and I had an awesome time! Can't wait to see everyone again next year!

Re: Bfest 2015
Again thanks guys for the photos(say that every year). One year..........
Damn, so slow at work right now this may have been the only chance. TS I guess.
Is there a worst is show award (but still made it) that my car could get?

Re: Bfest 2015
i had a horrible time, people were to nice, to friendly, the weather was not a killer, the WILSON team did a bang on job for all local things. i will not attend another BFEST for at least 1 year.
Re: Bfest 2015
Good times! It was great meeting you Adam!
I suppose I can share some photos for those that didn't see them on Facebook. Oh wait, no I can't. I'm on my tablet and not my phone. I'll try to remember to do it once my phone is charged.
