Final tally for Group 1:
21 entrants
19 started Saturday morning.
8 finished last race.

ECR is tough on vintage racers. At least 20% of the cars, in all classes, were on trailers headed home after the Sunday morning warm up session.

Zero-eight ran well on Friday, with the help of Larry R and Jay N. Then Yancey and Jim J came Saturday and watched as I ripped off 4 seconds per lap better time during race 1. Actually jumped from 14 position to 8th. Then it went down hill from there. Race 2 she started to misbehave and a DNF.

Sunday we made adjustments and ran OK for warm ups. Race 2 she pretty much became obstinate, but finished. Not very entertaining for Larry & Jackie, Miles or John R & his son. Sorry guys. Then race 4, two laps and on to the trailer. VERY BAD girl.

At first it was acting like fuel starvation, but as it became worse, it's definitely ignition.

Sunburned, tired and drained. Back to the hoist so I can make Mid-America.
