I leave Monday the 21st on a 2 week racing trip. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)
Two days driving to Cleveland Ga where I hope to do some dyno testing and install my new RAT 1.8L powerplant! Then I am entered in the SCCA National at Road Atlanta on the 26th, 27th. It's open to public spectators on the 27th only. I'll be hanging around Jake's place for a couple more days, then I head north to Johnson City Tennessee to visit my brother Charley. (He has the Lotus Europa I mentioned here last fall.) On the weekend of April 2,3 I will be at Summit Point for another National race. Spectators are welcome on Sunday there too. If anyone on the forum is nearby I would love to have you stop in and say hi! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wavey.gif) |

A big thanks to all who came by the track in Atlanta to visit,
to all the wellwishers on the forum, and especially to Jake and Len for their assistance. They dove right into the hot engine compartment in an effort to isolate the problem. I'm just sorry it didn't work out better on our first meeting. Pete and I have been getting a little R&R at my brother's place while we take care of some minor issues with the car. The oil leak was a loose valve cover. I switched to the aluminum covers because of my external scavenge pump and I didn't get enough loctite on the bolts I guess. It was a good opportunity to check the valve adjustment anyway. We found a cracked cooling fan bracket and I went to a local welding shop this morning. The owner very graciously allowed me to use his TIG (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif) at no charge so we will have that resolved before we continue on. I left the other unit at Jake's shop by mistake (still attached to the engine), not thinking it would come in handy right away. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) Things might be starting to look a little better. Summit Point isn't as fast a track as RA and I've raced there a few times before. With a little luck I'll have a good race on Sunday. I'm looking forward to meeting the local forum members who come out. One note though: I won't be as social (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chatsmiley.gif) while we are supposed to be working on the car as I was at Road Atlanta. Normally I rely on my wife to help me stay focused on my work because I like to talk and often get behind schedule. Without her on my crew for this trip it has been an additional challenge for me. She's the best. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/grouphug.gif) |
