Sorry Paul, the video is not on You Tube. Never thought to upload it as it was a little something for all of us. I'll see what I can do later though.
Glad you like the pictures though.
Yesterday was 'lunch your motor' for a few teams so there was a trail of tears going in to the pits. Some are able to affect repairs (affect or effect?) but there's a few who were leaving the last night. Hope springs eternal.
Our little '31 coupe apparently had a leak at the secondaries which wasn't detected until Carter, 17 year old son of Adam, was given the 'Go' at the line and then there was this primitive joy/racer's nightmare called "FIRE!" Fortunately they were able to get it out before Carter could remember the first step in evacuating the car and didn't hit the fire suppression bottles. Nothing damaged but the air cleaner and that was from ripping it out of the hole in the hood to get at the source.
Someone dropped a small jewler's screwdriver on the return road though. Front tire or the tow vehicle kicked it up and it speared the rear tire so I got to run into town with the spare tire and wheel to get the rubber swapped over (different lug pattern)...one more thing on the to do list...get the lugs all uniform in size and bring the right wheels,
So, when the full moon rose last night, all was understood. Hope springs eternal this morning as the sun rises and we'll be on the line right behind the crews trying to back up their record attempts yesterday.
Here’s Adam coaching his son on egress procedures. Carter is self motivated, hard working and a lot of fun to be around.
