Well, after hours of searching for a part, and finally tracking one down at Tom Jumper Chevrolet, and then hours of trying to loosen one friggin' bolt holding a bracket to the body, Will Maham (a Subaru tech, of all things) just broke the bracket apart so that I could get the heater inlet hose contraption out and the new one with functional and intact flow check valve in. I finished bleeding the system just before I had to grid, and while Jim Fossum got me by 0.7 on the day (and 0.7 for the event, since we were 0.061 apart after the first day), I was happy that I got to drive
my car, and more importantly, that I'll be able to drive my car home.
The courses were fun, and challenging. I especially want Sunday's course to do over again. Jumping from an LT1 1LE (practice day) to an LS1 "1E" (Saturday's runs) back to the LT1 1LE probably didn't help me overall in the results.
