that was my plan, black car had a carb that was too lean and needed the tires changed out for the other set on the grey car because of a tire vibration, grey car needed the brakes looked at because the rotor runout was returning on the rears again, turned out the adjuster for the front/rear brake bias was kind of reversed, front was rear, rear was front, we were up til 11pm thu. getting the brakes rebleed and still didn't know if that would fix it, plus the new brake switch was put on the black car in preperation for taking it so the grey car didn't really have any brake lights to speak of, was hesitent to go to the track without any brake lights, i really don't rely on them but i'm sure somebody behind me could have.
fri morning i was changing carbs on the black car and still had not packed and would of had to leave by 1pm or 2pm to make registration.
i was tired from work and all this and decided if anything i would drive the grey car down early sat as a last effort, really wanted to go and meet some of the guys but it just didn't work out and got a lot of stuff done around here.
the tire vibration on the biele turned out to be the inside half of a front rim was out .041 from what the machine said, he had an upright break and the rim that was showing damage turned out to be good, it was the other one out of round, so maybe something was ran over in all the excitement. the grey car now wears the bad rim and sports the vibration til i can get a new half.
i'll be ready next time, the hood is getting painted now and a good alignment, corner weight adjustment, and carb tune and i'll be done. i'm tired of working on this stuff.
it's fun to look at the pics and read everyones experience though.
