Just the highlights...
Lost a PS pump in T8 at 110mph (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) It would cutout in every turn for 2 sessions. Drove 3hrs to get a new pump, had a tread seperation at 65mph and allmost went off the road in my friends girlfriends car. The car doesn't look so good now, but i'm alive! Set a new best at 1:36.984 on the first day with the pump cavitating! I run a consistant 1:37.5 on a clear track on day 2. The car is 3454 3/4 tank, and 3649 with me and gear. 1004/1000 698/747 @3454 1081/1009 766/789 @3649 The new trailer worked great, and the old RV did to (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I couldn't get the car to run 180(stock Rad 85deg day) until i turned the fans off and taped up the opening some(i have hardware cloth under the nose) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif) Randy and Alan(blain) for your sugestions on move the coolers and the sealing of the Rad. And I found out don't pass the lead imstructor in his modified M3, he gets mad and says my car is faster, yeah right! What a weekend (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I can almost see ya running to the parts store (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) where you driving to fast for the old tires to handle (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Poor girl didnt know what she was gettin into (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif)
So what shift point where you using on the new light? Or are you gonna find this motors demon and bring it out (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I lost time to a pump and rack one day,I have a spare w/pulley and a spare pulley just in case now. Interesting for sure John(the instructor M3) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif) Wish I could break something... jealous (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

I fixed it by staying in 4th through 2 and using alot more brake into 3 :drive: I did however missed 2 shifts in the same spot(3rd to 2nd) and tested the motor really good (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) I didn't lose time with the steering problem, i set my best time ever when the steering was at it's worst! I don't know why or how! |

Good times John! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif) I would love to run that track December or January, maybe the temps would ease down to the 70s around that time! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) It was a perfect 85 last weekend Julie (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif) In Dec/Jan it will be 30degs with a 25mph wind (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I will see you at BRP on the 8/9 right? My wife wants to try HPDE1(if she can get the weekend off) and it would be so cool if you were her instructor :drive: Seeya Julie |

I will be at Buttonwillow then yes! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I am not a NASA instructor tho, they want you to instruct on your race days and that is too much IMHO. I am happy to chat with her and give her some tips, just c'mon over!
