Fucking gnats and flies and heat are driving me batshit.
RF wheel bearing is loose. Slowed me down for the last 2-3 miles. That’s the axle shaft that got swapped at aoaa. Two pump brakes without expecting something to be lose slowed me down to keep 4 wheels on the car to finish.
First in class finish.
Kim Matzen bet me by 25 seconds. Not sure if we were 1-2 overall or not. Likely.
No tires. Never stopped. Tires at 32-35 psi because fuck you flats.
Definitely lacks low end power in current state if tune. Makes up for it with nasty raspy gogogo top end.
Caught a trans cooler fan trying to burn up at the start line. Trans indicated 120-125 all day in spite of one fan out of two dead on trans coolers. Engine topped out somewhere around 205-215. Cooled down after that. High range race. Radiator probably 20-30% covered in leaves from overhanging branches and still stayed cool. Unexpected at 90-95 ambient temps. I’ll take it!
Steering sloppy. Very sloppy. Same bolt as was tightened at aoaa loose again. All steering heims sloppy.
Todo:
Stiffer rear swaybar by about 20%
Chk LF axle shaft
Install good RF axle shaft and fix bearing issue whatever it is
Heims & bolts in steering
fresh mud muncher button
All else is perfect.
I miss the tci valve body with throttle linkage and automatic downshift but after a lap I was ripping it anyway and getting better at one handing sloppy steering.
