I wish I could say the car was great and it flew up the mountain but. What a shit weekend. Saturday the car felt off but I put it down to the hot
weather, it was 35 degrees.
Still won my class but felt the car was not quiet right, no power!. Sunday morning the ignition barrel decided to collapse, so a dodgy toggle switch
and push button was plumbed in.
First run car felt really soft and it missed up the top of the mountain. Missed the second run as I was checking the very hot rocker gear and tappet
clearance while talking to Larry, no bothering Larry with phone calls.
Third run made it to the start line, but worse miss and some serious smoke at the top of the mountain again. Mmm, me thinks the engine may be
wounded. Will do some simple checking of things this weekend and consult with Larry.
On a brighter note! she is still shiney and black.
Cheers Col

Hope for your sake Col that it is something minor.
Good results considering the challenges.

I didnt see any smoke???
Still shiny and black is good. Better than picking bits up with a shovel like those other 5 cars!
