Re: Dumb*** move of the day
Lee,
You called with a dead motor. Then my other friend Bob showed up with his 93. While gassing up at the BP, he noticed a screw in his rear driver's side drag radial. I should have figured the stars were misaligned. The track sucked. Huge crowd of fuelers, sport bikes, Super Comp etc. Little time for test and tune. On my second pass, I hit second gear and the car just sat there revving at 7k. Then it began to pivot towards the outside of the track. Let off and got it back going straight but damage was done. The guy in the LS-7 C5 Z had a problem at the same time. Turns out his clutch was goin. 2 bad passes and I got outta there. Sorry it cost you $100. Maybe US 41 will be a different story on the 11th.

Re: Dumb*** move of the day
I agree, you are a brave and confident man to admit what happened.
We can all laugh together. Like the time I called Jeff Flint in a panic when my newly assembled motor wouldn't start. Forgot to depress the clutch.......

Re: Dumb*** move of the day
It really just pi**** me off that had the guage been working I could have freakin walked across the road to get gas and then on to the track. Checking the tank never crossed my mind as the guage read over 1/4 tank, and I depressed the valve on the fuel rail and there was pressure and gas........which I know means there is pressure but does not define the quantity in the tank.

Lee - Inside every dark cloud is a silver linning - It could have been worse - You may have suffered some mis-fortune at the track - Like a clutch issue, Broken drive / axle shaft or wose yet a major engine issue. Maybe the ZR-1 God was looking out after you.. But you might want to go visit - "thepartsladi.com" and consider a new fuel pump / Level assy. - 275.00 while they last !!! |
