UPDATE.

Decided to run the car this past weekend at the Chin Motorsports track day (I just ran Sunday) at Road Atlanta to get things sorted for the American Road Race of Champions in a month.

The event didn't go as well as I would have hoped. The car had a horrible sputtering issue which ended up just being a clogged fuel filter but I lost a bit of time before we found the issue. Then into the final session the radiator blew on the back straight ending the day.

All in all though I feel good that these issues occurred before a real race and I still managed to knock off another second.

The only work that was done between this event and the last one in May was wheel bearings, the airdam, and that's about it! I did put a new mirror on but...

Here are a few photos:






Radiator went bye bye.


Exit of T1.


Heading to T6.


Exit of T5.


Turning into T5.


Having issues coming out of 5.


Getting strapped in.


Heading out of 10B.

Next on the "To Do" list includes:

Change radiator.
Put new belt on.
Put new cap and rotor on.
Oil change.
Check fuel system, clean or replace filter.
Adjust seating position and steering column.
Touch up some body work.

Nothing major, I'll be racing the 2.5 hour ARRC enduro. We raced it last year with issues but finished, hoping for a trouble free year!
