Ticking them off

The first stints were tuff.  Sporadic rain made for interest racing.   We also saw an intermittent problem with the D.  We have a spark plug wire that loosens occasionally.  It might be time to fix the problem after the race.

For the Z we had a spin that stuck the car up in turn 3.  The Wreckers were dispatched and had to be pulled out.  Once out, was sent on its merry way.   

We are now getting ready for our 6th driver change.  5 more to go.  One black flag on the Z.

Here we go!!!

Race Starts

The rain has stop, for now.  The cars have left for the track.  Picasso starts us off in the D.  Brexit in the Z.  Now we await the start.

Green, Green, Green!  Crakles over the radio.  Then the engine dinn comes to life.  Yup we are racing again. 

Start of Race day 2

Good Morning Sonoma.  Time change makes this an early call. It is race day so life is good.

We got to the track and it is wet.  There is hope for clearing skies, but rain is coming.  For now the cars are good and we are getting teady to send our first drivers out.

Checkers Are Out

Checkers are flying.

That’s one

That’s two

After a rough weather day, both cars get to the checkers.  Great job team!

Going through the cars they do not seem worse for wear. 

• Oil change
• Brake check
• Clutch fiuld
• Some paint

And then we are ready for day 2.

Last two Stints

We just completed the last planned driver change.  We have Stingray in the D and Queen in the Z.  We just had a batch of rain causing mayham.  Our team seemed to avoid the trouble, so now is the push to the finish.

Just keep running

We are just getting into a stride.  We weathered the first two stints for each car which had rain the entire time.  All told a black flag for a spin in the D and a black flag for a side swipe in the Z.

In the next two stints it looks like it is drying, so let the fun begin.

First Stop.

Well it is poring down rain to start.  Out first unplanned stop was rain related.  No, not a spin.    Windshield wipe failure.  A quick stop, repair, and we are back at it.
