We don't even get a trophy girl. We have to walk across the paddock to the flag stand to get a tiny checkered flag and then to registration to wait in line for your trophy. No trophy pics or visit to the podium.True... But none of us like loosing either!!!
The things we do to get a cheapo cup and a kiss from a pretty girl.
Nope, nothing new. Just the way it is.Is that from Covid rules?? To be honest we get on the podium, but the girls are under wraps till the rules let up a bit. Getting a kiss will have to wait till 2022 I think.
At least somebody cares. *sniff*Ah well, when you get the pics up on TMO, you can hear the cheer around the world.
Yup. Leading the points and the last race is in a few weeks, I don’t need this sh!t right now….I feel for you! Keep the faith. I hate lithium bats. I will not use then for cars. There are too many instances of thermal runaway with fires. The weight savings just isn't worth it. IMO the best compromise is stick with lead acid bats but use a small 12v tractor or PWC battery. Those bricks are small 6x7" cube in the 13lb range and are cheap. We don't have lots of things running our cars so only need the cranking amps to turn the car over.
Are you racing SCCA with SF region? I'm a SCCA calcluber
I have no idea how a 3-valve pulley system works but if you had no problem with the power steering with that motor, is it possible the Coyote crank pulley is spinning it faster and perhaps overpressurizing it?power steering fluid everywhere.
No, its part failures...hard lines twice (known issue) and this time it was a gasket.I have no idea how a 3-valve pulley system works but if you had no problem with the power steering with that motor, is it possible the Coyote crank pulley is spinning it faster and perhaps overpressurizing it?
I started my season at race 5. Wasn't ready for the first few races.you Racing ITE? I ran the 3 laguna events but don't think I saw your car there?

That’s exactly what I ordered from Rock auto last night.Sal - I put a Cardone 96-368 in the car and it has survived a track day so far (on a 3V not a Coyote). It’s a new pump. It’s an option if you don’t want a reman.
