Short work day - 9-1-2012

Well Justin came over to help me do some work on the Spitwad on Saturday. Pretty much I took off and cleaned out the Oil Cooler and he cut down our scratched up hard to see through lexan windshield and put on some steel mesh. At our last 2 races we had vision problems and this was the quickest cheap fix I could come up with. Also last race we had to swap the motor and stupid me forgot to hook up, take off, or plug the oil cooler. We then ran 14 hours and had a few off track excursions so the oil cooler was full of dirt.

With life being busy I took the time to speak to my teammate Ron, who is planning to turbo charge our 1300 motor for the next race. I told him I have a lot going on and I know he is a busy man so if he does not get the turbo charge set up done, we can just run the motor we have, or run the 1300 without the turbo.

We need to keep it simple and just go out and have a good time. This will be my girlfriend's first race and a new track for all of us. The only things we really need to do on the car is maintenance on the brakes, put different shocks on the rear, get the oil cooler hooked back up, and get our spares in order. I drove the car last and it was running fine.

I guess the shift light would be a good idea since my GF is learning how to drive stick... and damn, I could go for some good bacon right about now...
