[cruzn57]

way to many people, close to 350 cars,
a few accidents, nothing major, we didn't see them as we were inthe pits,

[meanchicken]

I'm about to hit the sack....getting up at 3AM.

Do we need pit crew ticket to get into the pit and be on the pit crew, or do the general admission tickets do the trick?

 

[cruzn57]

Thanks for your help Tim, sorry I didn't see ya when I left,

[my1stgn]

so how did it go? any pics?

 

[Alky V6]

Man! I just typed out a whole shpeal and it timed out and I lost it.

First, thanks to Lee. A true blue trooper. It was great to see the others there too. I think everyone got there in time to see the last run of the day for us.
An oil leak developed and cut the day short for us. The leak seems to be coming from the back of the block, and only leaks under high boost.
That run was a 9.6x at 152.x. Sliding around a bit for the last half of the pass. It was discovered that the oil was getting to the tires.

On that last pass on Saturday, they were pairing us with cars that were in our same class. My class was G. That's cars that run 9.50 to 9.99. It made the qualification runs a little interesting.
The other car had about a 2 to 3 car lead by the 330 mark. When the car came on boost, we reeled him in and went flying past him at the finish for the win. Cheryl was in the stands with the video camera, and you can hear on the video some pretty astonished individuals.

Running a vacuum pump? If so, which way did you install the rear main seal on the last rebuild?

I'm running an older design 4 vane Moroso with an open breather. The seal was installed like normal. Lip facing forward. It never gave me a problem before. Is there something I should know?
