Started out bad for us on Friday night....
During the first practice the hose on the fule cell breather came off (my fault, didn't check the hose clamp it it was obviously loose) and threw fuel under our right rear tire in turn 2, causing us to spin and then get collected.....Damaging the front end and bending a rim....We fixed the front end but had not identified the line issue yet, but luckily we decided to pack up and head home for the night and come back Saturday.
Saturday was not much better at the start.....We found and fixed the fuel vent hose issue, but with the hit the car was still loose and with the carb work I did, we were not 100% yet.....I actually had a hunch about 5 minutes before the main about the engine, and my nephew had one about the set-up and we took a swing and made both changes.
Anyone racing with a restrictor plate knows, starting position is everything, and because of the issues we were starting at the back so we have a tough road to how ahead for any type of quality finish. But the changes worked really well for us, we picked up over .4 of a second over our qualifying speed and the car was a rocket out of turn 4.....It was a race of taking an outside line for 13 of 15 laps which is tough.....but he brought home a 6th place and ran a fast time that was faster than 3 of the 6 cars ahead of him....so it is getting there!!!!
