Just having some fun!
Chuck Gee Racing at Lime Rock
It was a good weekend overall. The car was competitive and I expected great things before the failure! This was my first time at this track and it was terrific.
I’ve posted a few videos from the weekend on YouTube. Here are links to the Saturday afternoon race and the Monday morning race. The oil pressure went away during the Monday morning race. It seems that the drive tang sheared off of the oil pump, but I’ll know more once I take it apart. Apparently this is a common problem with the new Chinese sourced oil pumps available today. I wasn’t aware of this and put in a new pump before this weekend. Oh well, there’s always next time!
They take your best lap time from the weekend to grid you for each race. I was gridded 5th in the Monday morning race based on the time I set Saturday afternoon. Now Hap would say I wasn’t aggressive enough with some of the passes (true) but I always save my best work for the last race of the weekend just in case something goes wrong. Unfortunately, I didn’t make it to the last race this time.
Enjoy!
