Woke up an hour and a half late, and it took me 20 minutes to find my keys. Finally made it out the door, was making great time, no issues until I was about 30 miles from portland. car dies. Pull over, Takes me 45 minutes of fucking with the wiring harness (yes, the Trigger point connectors) until I get it to fire on two cylinders. Limp across the freeway to a gas station, figure out that my Trigger points are hooked up wrong, swap it, and the car runs fine. I was too late to make it to the AX, so i turned around and went home. I was pissed. I woke up and thought, "I should just stay home..." but I went anyways. Looks like a new wiring harness is in my near future....

Too bad you missed it Chris. Hope your day wasn't all bad.
My course layout was fast, but apparently too complicated......I only missed gates twice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Ended up with only one clean run, but it was a fast one. That bleedin' red Boxster (and I think his wife) got me again.....they are a joy to watch tho, I was talking to a couple of SCCA hot shoes. Seems like Penske shocks (or JRZs) are must have items for the stock classes.....at around $4K a set.....auggh. |
