Looks like the weather is going to be nicer to us than originally expected. On accuweather it looks like very light rain iin the morning until 9 or 10 and then very light rain agian at 6 or so. Should be a good day of driving. Sunday is supposed to be nice.
I can't wait to get out there. Hope the car will stick together. Currently we have no oil leaks and no cutout problem. This could be our first trouble-free event (spitting , knocking on wood, etc. so as not to jinx it). Looks like the Pickerings will be there. Anyone else? chris |

Nope, no tracks for a while (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
What do you think the problem was with your car? |

Mike,
We figured out what the problem was with the miss. It turned out that the balast resistor in line with the head temp sensor would intermittently open circuit! Let me know how to get your alternator back to you. This weekend was great. Well, kind of. The car was running beautifully and then it started having problems. The first was a wire fell down into teh fan area and caused teh alternator belt to come off..not a problem fixing that. Then as we were about to go back on track we noticed a huge banding noise inside the engine. Then it went away, so we thought it was a stuck valve. My dad went out on track and said it felt like it was running on 3 cylinders. Well, long story short, we busted a rocker arm stud. We thought we were done for the weekend after trying to find a stud at about every auto parts place around (later we found out David Loop was running with us and he owns a local shop, I tried calling his shop with no answer!). Greg Chiocco and Kevin Crozier came by and said that Greg was headed home for the night and would be back the next morning. They had a few heads at home that he could pull the studs from (the one broken one caused the other one to fail as well by rounding the threads). Greg arrived in the morning with 4 studs for us and a few extra nuts. We were luckily able to get the old stud out on Saturday evening so we were ready for install. We got it put back together, adjusted the valves and were on the track only missing 1 run session. I ended up taking first and my dad took second (we are a 2 driver car). I would like to thank Kevin and Greg again for their help. It is things like this that really brings 914 owners together. Thanks, chris |
