Yes. That was Dwight Mitchells ex SCCA rocket ship. What a mess. SteveN backed the blue 914 rocket ship out of the trailer and the master cylinder took a crap. Steve and I jumped in his tow vehicle and drove to St. Helena over the Guirnville grade to pick up a new MC from a fellow 914 racer/buddy of mine (Ron Wicker) I knew Ron had one in his trailer (I have spent quite a bit fo time in and out of that trailer..ha ha) Picked it up from Ron and drove back to the event site 2 hour round trip. Got the MC installed and bled... headed out on course and Steve takes TTOD on his second run (he never walked the course..he thought he was done for the weekend) Now here is the funny part: Coming into the last turn on his second run before the timers.. I notice the rear end starting to come around on him... he crosses the lights and we are all stunned with his TTOD so quickly. I notice him jump out of the car and start pushing. The friggin car died in the corner (which is why I saw the rear end start to come around and he corrected with the wheel) He coasted more than 50 feet to take TTOD at that time. Pushed the car back to the trailer and found NO voltage at the coil. Started tracing wires... and found a bundle shreaded RIGHT in front of the fan ..hum... his car hadnt ran well for almost a year and a half with a intermittant miss... found it. Cleaned all of the wires, installed a butt connector on the coil wire that broke and taped everything up that I could. Ran great. SteveN took TTOD with a 32.4 B |
