Arizona Cobras at Firebird

[ItBites]

All,

Enjoyed the day on the track. Yes I did a little circle and ended up plowing some dirt. Actually it was pretty mild for as dumb a maneuver as I pulled. I always end up being the bad example. I can handle it. Hope everyone learned how not to do it...

BIG thanks to Jim Brey, who was kind (brave) enough to ride with me both trips out. Jim, thanks for showing me the "trick" lines. I'll remember until I get out there again.

Yes, had a little electrical problem and the fan quit and I puked several gallons of distilled water and water wetter onto the paddock. Tried to bypass the circuit, but the wire I could borrow was to small of gage and got really hot when I test ran the fan. Also didn't have enough distilled water to refill completely. So I milled around until the end and loaded up on the trailer and went home. Thank God for trailers.

Anyhow, I'm done for the year. I'm sure the fan is an easy fix, but haven't been happy with the motor temperature at Firebird (before the fan quit) or PIR (two weeks ago). Over the winter (can I really call it taht in Queen Creek?) I think I'll try to get a new radiator (maybe Ron Davis - have one in my Vette and it works pretty good) and fan system and maybe go to a Stewart water pump. We'll see how good santa is to me...

See y'all soon...
