The first endurance race of the season at Rocky Mountain Motorsports ended on a bit of a disappointment for us, though we took away some useful info in several ways. During testing at the public track day the night before, Wil found that there was some sort of problem with getting into 4th gear, but it was manageable then. After an inspection, we couldn't find a problem and decided we could work with it through the race.
Saturday morning when the race started, Trey went out and grabbed the class lead immediately and held it for his stint, and by the end of Tanner's stint which came next, we were 2 laps up on our nearest competitor, but during this interval, finding 4th gear became more and more difficult. When Ben took over for the third stint, shortly after he got going, he found the car felt like it was going into limp mode. He pitted so we could check the problem, and we thought we had the problem fixed and sent him back out, but the problem immediately returned. Who could have known that it would turn out to be an injector harness vibrating itself until it unplugged? Big thanks to Matt Sinfield and 221 Racing for generously giving us a set of spark plugs to eliminate that as a potential issue, they're always such helpful guys at any event.
By the time the issue was sorted, we had lost 8 laps of time, leaving us 6 laps down on the class leader. Ben valiantly did his best to make up time, but the gap was too much to overcome. Wil took over for the final stint, and by this time the 4th gear issue had gotten so bad that the only person who could successfully drive the car consistently was Tanner. Wil decided to end his stint early and pass the car back to Tanner from sheer frustration, and Tanner worked his magic to bring the car home safe.
When we unloaded the car back at home, we found we had NO gears, so for Tanner to finish the race with a transmission in this condition is incredible! On diagnosis after the race, we found the shift selector had stripped its mounting bolts in the transmission, and was just flopping around inside the case, preventing gear operation. We've already fixed the problem and reinforced the mounting, but going from 1st to 4th in class is always going to feel less than great even if it's educational.
We're ready to roll for the NASCC 8 hour double header on July 6th & 7th at RAD Torque Raceway though, let's go!
First mention goes to the inestimable Mike Lancaster, the man, the myth, the legend. We would be lost without him.
