Third Event: More Success!

First of all, I totally failed to get any pictures or video. Oops.

The August event got cancelled due to weather, so the car sat on the trailer for another month and just chilled out. A few days before the September event, though, I took it over to the shop and got that bit of charge pipe replaced. Turns out that the hole wasn’t all that bad, but it was still a leak and had to go!

Other than that, the only thing I did was add fuel and go racing! Fun fact: the two-day event burned up 2 gallons of gas, almost exactly.

The course on the 26th used the front field at Scott’s Bottom which is the rougher of the two. It was absolutely punishing to both car and driver. My first two runs were without any boost because the new pipe slipped out, so I had to fix that before continuing. I think that I had the silicone elbow too far up on the intercooler neck which left too great of a gap for the length of pipe. After adjusting it a bit, it was solid for the rest of the day.

This is the third event on the new motor mounts and everything is still solid and connected. No tearing, cracking, loosening up, or anything like that at all, so I am calling this fixed. All I have to do now is learn how to drive because I was 7th overall and 2nd in a class of 11 cars.
