We r racing! Car is slow but turning laps. Stevo went first & got black flagged for looping it. Pete is on track now.
We r @ driver mtg. Race starts in about half an hour. Pray for us ![]()
Morning breaks @ TARP HQ. I wonder if the car miracled itself a new #3 cylinder overnight? Plan is to drive 30min shifts & get all a turn.
Better news. No oil in water so we think head gasket is ok. It’s idling fine on 3 cyls so we’ll race it that way & just turn laps slowly.
Not good news. Cyl 3 is generating 0 compression. Going to try to work around…
Waiting in line for tech. Fixed an oil leak from the oil pan so have not turned any laps yet. A Spec Miata just got 50 laps penalty.
Finishing paint & stickers on car. Will go hot testing on track within the hour.
Ok, I think I’ve got this worked out now. We should be able to update the blog via Twitter during the race so that all you TARP-heads out there can keep track of what we’re doing. The 10 most recent twitters will show up on the sidebar over to the right. I’m not setting it to create a new blog post from each tweet (I hate that word) because it looks absurd as a blog post since they’re so short (140 characters). So we’ll just see how this works out…
