Fist Timed AX Event, ...and I almost made it to the timing session! haha Options

[Alphaogre]

Well, on my second lap in practice two the motor cut out on my once I let off the gas. Once I got it to restart there was a noise that was new and should not be there, so I decided to call it a day. It was more disappointing because I was just starting to get final adjustments on the air pressure.

It was my least favorite course they have set up so far, usually there are more sweeping turns which helps me out in carrying speed, also there were at least 3 points of the course where my gearing just seemed to be a bit too short and made me rev out a little longer. As we know, this might as well be a parachute let out the back.

I'm not sure if this was what contributed to the motor failure but we will have to see when I look into it this week. At first we thought that maybe the distributer moved and the timing was off, but once we let it sit and got it running there was a new knock, im just hoping it is not a valve since I just got the 96mm 1911cc build up done about 4 months ago.

After the end of practice session one, I notice I was having to keep the engine from dying when pulling back to my pits. I did not see any oil pressure light and the oil was right in the middle of the two lines on the dip stick. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

BTW: the yellow apex cones are not for my line, those are for the late brake, late apex and punch it new cars haha. Im the stay tight and carry as much as I can line (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
