2nd time the car has sat for 3 nights, and then i have 2 issues before i can even load the car.

fuel pump switch is dead, now 2 switches are dead on the pannel  need to rebuild with water proof switches.

forgot about my missing trailer bearing cap.  went to 3 places no luck.  made one.

fixed broken trailer wires for light issues

loaded / fueled and packed minus cold food in shop fridge / ice.

Fuel pump switches are silly. Let the ECU do work! then have a selector switch if you want dual pumps. 2¢...

ran 4 hard laps.

piled in a tree hard.  REALLY HARD.  felt fine, then noticed car was squirly and going strait driver side wheel was towed out 20 degrees  limped a little 5th lap with a motor that was starving with a caked air filter.

solid high steer arm looks like a candy cane.  no other damage.

over heated motor from my paper towel stash clogging up the front of the raidiator.

was passed by about 4 cars on course. 

go pro lasted entire race but was mud covered in the first 3 min.

needs more motor and a built trans, better mud protection.

some front shock tuning would help also.


i hit 46mph on the cobble stone chop straight in front of the pavilion, and that was comfortable enough to look at the gps....

Might as well cover your buggies with a sweet plaid paint scheme, for they be lumberjacks.

Wouldn't it just be easier to admit you want new high steer arms?
