Completely agreed. Seeing as this is the first year we're enforcing the inspection, it's certainly worthy of discussion!
FNG here, didn't know there was a significance to the name. Sorry, so this is a memorial event?
Yes sir. Logan was a member of ONSC. This event is dedicated to him.

Roger that ! Let's drive on then.
I would really like to recommend Izzy as an inspector for this. He knows his stuff.
Oh sheet Top, I dunno, you put me in charge of something and I become a "banana republic dictator with an inferiority complex and a clipboard". Its that Cuban blood in me... And my parking brakes still don't work! Parts ordered though. I may get exiled after this gig by the club.

I just installed a new cable and am doing the E-brakes now. I shot one of the dang adjusters across the shop with a wire wheel, waiting on new part

Thanks for the awesome laugh. The OCD in me is nodding with approval.

On that note, as the rules are now, to my interpretation a vehicle with an automatic trans does not require a working E-brake as it has the P gear. Please correct me if I am wrong. I am of the mind that a working E-brake should also be included for vehicles with an automatic. I am more concerned with the emergency braking function as opposed to the parking function. I.E. brakes fail on a grade.
For the inspection, the way it's worded "parking brake", has traditionally been interpreted as what keeps a vehicle still when you aren't driving anymore. "Emergency Brake" function, as per what you've articulated, is not evaluated on the inspection for automatic vehicles.
That said, everyone should have a working emergency brake

What do you think @beno ? A "Spring Brake" sale?
I tested the E-brake on the Crockpot this morning as I was leaving the house for work. It holds back a 3rd gear clutch dump! Woo Hoo! FE-check. Recovery points-check. I think all I need at this point is a working CB. I actually have a CB...and it works a little. I need someone who knows CB's to evaluate it though. It's an old school Cobra unit. Picks up a little but I suspect it needs to either be dialed in better or maybe just thrown in the garbage and replaced with a good hand-held. Anybody want to take a look at it for me? I haven't decided on a handle yet. I'm thinking old school Duke's of Hazzard...Crazy Cooter, Lost Sheep, Shepherd, Red Dog...something like that.
I can bring a SWR meter and we can tune it up if you'd like. Remind me as we get closer.
Yes! That would be splendid. I'll remind you, Johnny.

Thanks for mentioning the SWR meter. I can not find my jumper between the meter and radio. I have to get a new one so I can then find the old one.
I need to get me a SWR meter again or borrow one for this new cruiser.
You guys gotta get out of the stone ages and get on 2M.
I promise you will never ever go back to CB ever after communicating on 2M.
