Completed so far:<\/p>\n
To shake the car down a bit before the first WOR points event, Tim and I took the car up to \u00a0the Indy region’s PE#2. \u00a0First in MF and fourth overall on a dry track with no serious tire advantage.<\/p>\n
In no uncertain terms, this car is a weapon to which you strap yourself and try to hang on and it is a broad sword, not a scalpel. \u00a0The course was designed with a very tight right-hand turn out of the start which fed immediately into a left-hand sweeper. \u00a0First gear and a very light throttle touch got the car off the start and around the first bend, but once I entered the left-hand sweeper, I put it into second gear and the car basically exploded down the track, and I think it was basically spinning the wheels the whole time I was on the throttle. \u00a0As I mentioned to someone else, you can’t think of that as a car — it’s more like a boat that cuts through dirt instead of water.<\/p>\n
The day left me with only one problem with the car: \u00a0The clutch cable came disconnected from the clutch pedal and required a quick fix. \u00a0I have an allen wrench jammed in there now, held steady with some duct tape. \u00a0I need to find a new cotter pin, and perhaps a washer, to make that a more permanent fix.<\/p>\n
According to Tim, I’m getting thrown all over the inside of the car, so instead of trying to run down some coilovers, my next purchase will be a harness. \u00a0More details as they become available. \u00a0I also need to drain the oil so that I can install the oil filter sandwich adapter with the oil pressure sender attached.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
