It's only been 10 months, I guess I better get around to writing an update...

I got the car back out in October. Huge thanks to my Dad and Bob Denton for junkyard running and freshening an engine in time. We ran the Friday test day and worked out some new cars bugs. There was literally something we had to fix every session. So, it was money/time well spent.

The results for the weekend were GREAT! We took a brand new car that I hadn't ever driven more than a few laps and ran P4, P3, and P2 in 3 races against veteran competitors.

Here's the video of R3: https://youtu.be/vntTYiKNAGI

When I burned out on my World's Longest Home Re-model last winter, I spent some time in the garage fixing a few issues, built a new cooling system with an eBay AL radiator, and had to add 70lbs of "not ballast" to the car.

Dad and I brought the car to Mid-Ohio in May and things were looking pretty promising but we battled issues all weekend before finally getting it right with the last race

R1, I spun in my own water 3 times when the radiator would boil over. I was angry when the checkered flew but happy that I hadn't torn up the car. Remember kids, stock radiator caps belong in the trash.

R2, Car started sputtering in corners and I eventually pulled off. P10. Dropped the tank after the race and found the 1/8" line had come off the Racetronix pump. A little safety wire and hopefully it's a permanent fix.

R3, worked my way to P1 through the race and was barely able to hold on. The tires were used up and Derek Wright was coming hard. Super happy to see the Checkered, the first WIN in this car.

I never got around to editing videos, but hopefully soon.

More to write about Gingerman in June but out of time.

Here's a teaser pic from Gingerman: https://ibb.co/cbwv2M0
