So I am instructing this past weekend at the annual St. Louis chapter fall DE. I am breaking in a new track toy, a POS-325e tastefully modified with some modest upgrades. Been awhile since I have had a nice Bimmer so I was looking forward to the weekend.
Saturday morning I pop the hood and much to our surprise and enjoyment I have managed to house some potential road kill.

We prodded this thing with a jack handle but all that managed to do was piss it off royally. I get the bright idea to start the car, pull to a grassy spot and shoo the thing away. As soon as we started this little critter felt the heat from the headers and scrambled out of the engine bay, RIGHT TOWARDS MY OPEN WINDOW!!!!!!! I was in full panic mode trying to get the windows closed so I would not become a critter casualty before turning a lap. He jumped off the car and found a new home quickly!

Needless to say the driver's meeting was a no holds barred assault on Bud and his Arkansas heritage. I tried to get the last shot in by announcing to the track manager that his food was so bad I brought my own. We had tremendous weather and a great turnout to end the season. And my little POS-325...............Watch out Mr. Wright I have mad dog HP and TQ now!
Oh yea..............new item on clean tech for all you inspectors out there.

Bud, it was great to see you again this weekend. I don't know how I managed to miss this "in person", but the stories and pictures are awesome!
Fantastic! Good stuff

Apparently it's rodent relocation season...
Damn, sorry I missed that. Personally I'd have had a cow seeing that thing in my engine bay. Damn critters!
Feff
Looks like he made a nice little home with some grass. That is awesome.

So how much HP is the "possum mod" worth?

Oh man that last pic is classic. Not even the Malt Liquor Tech crew can claim that one.
I'm really torn here between TWO of my favorite things...

Possum, Phish

'Less you believe it anyway
I was riding down the road one day and
Someone hit a possum
I was riding down the road one day and
Someone hit a possum
The road was his end
His end was the road
So they say
Whoa possum... possum, possum... POSSUM
Whoa possum... possum, possum... POSSUM
Whoa possum, possum
Your end is the road

And.........Bud and I both know a thing or two about good vittles......
I think the truck is mostly stock.......

Possum delete mod. No extra horsepower just 10 lbs lighter on the front end.

Bud,
You appear to be very honestly surprised by this whole episode. The only thing I can make of your reaction is that it truly was not a pet, lunch, or normal occurrence....even for those from Arkansas.
Oh....and do you remember that advice I asked you about concerning the RX-7 last week??????? You must have been speaking with authority for ONLY anything smaller in size than a field mouse.
