Congrats.
Don't think I'm going to make it tonight, I'm just to sick.

Well the weather is nasty here today, and our favorite restaurant is on a river with a great view....so we decided to wait until this weekend to go out to dinner and celebrate. So I'll be there tonight.
Congrats John and Pat, that’s 29 years longer than i’ve been alive
I'll wait until I have better FPS before I think about trying to be competitive.
I'm content getting out of the way and trying to keep it on the track.
Heya Mick,
I bet I can find something for a replacement. Give me the Ohms it is as well as a picture and measure the shaft diameter and length in MM.
If the value is not printer or stamped on it you can figure it out with a multimeter. put it on an ohms setting and measure the two outside legs, the center is the wiper.

also, my roommate was able to fix my shifter with solder... I guess my cheating days of paddle shifters are over
Congratulations Mike!
Sorry that my microphone wasn't working guys, but I had fun racing and listening. Best part for me was not wrecking anyone.

Congrats Mike @phantom17 ! Really enjoyed some good racing with everyone in that one!
Great fun hard racing last night guys! Congrats to Mike @phantom17 ! Had some good battles with John and Mick mostly, sorry if I bumped anyone.
I had a bit more of my old mojo last few days! I like it! Lucky to have found you guys!
Thanks to Bill @Highbank for all he does! Thanks to Tom @garrett1127 and Stunod for keeping this place going where we can, and have been able to meet up and all.
Not so upset with myself now LOL. And I had fixed my guitar amp yesterday that stopped working some days before that had me a bit off. I had diagnosed a bad filament voltage fuse a few days before and was hoping just a cosmic fluke it popped, so far so good once I got the fuses I ordered and installed one. Lucky!!
But anyway...
Too bad you could not make it Andy and Dan, more to run = more Zoom fun! Nice we have had some decent turnouts though.
Had good fun guys! Great driving! Thanks!
Mick, @M_Nesevitch I will see if I can find anything out about that POT, I have plenty of green but none measures that resistance, oh wait wrong Pot har. POTentiometer is what we need har.
To clarify, it has only approx 90 deg. rotation? Do you have an Ohmmeter? Need to see if the full value of the pot is within the 90 deg. or if it is a section of total area. Are you familiar with measuring resistance on a pot? need a reading from center to one end at both max rotations, then from center to other end. See if the continuity actually reaches zero on either end(normal pot you WILL be able to get a zero reading from either end when maxed in proper direction) and the stated value of the Pot at the others when in proper full rotation.
Should be able to do something one way or another, it looks to be one of those mini pots.
Anyway take care!
Take care and stay well All!
Happy Holidays!!

@Blitzman I actually found the pots this morning, from a Chinese vendor. We'll see if they show up or not. lol The site doesn't have a place to order them, you "chat" with someone and negotiate the freight, then they put the order together. So, jumped through all the hoops, agreed on 35$ to ship, plus 1$ ea for 10 pots. Then they sent me an invoice and I paid it.. Then he said he'd "arrange to make the samples soon" So, we shall see.. lol
So, we shall see.. lol- Status
