Steve, race car Karma is a total bitch. I called the Pantas CMC car junk and it broke down on me accordingly.
I didn’t want it to cause a yellow, so I found a way off track. I try to do that. When they threw the red flag for the engine fire on the stock car, I already had the hood open trying to fix the broken throttle cable. If I had fixed it, I could have gotten back on track. As it was, I idled it up the hill and back to the pits.
I will say that in qualifying on Sunday, the trans bolts had all fallen out and it wouldn’t shift. Not sure that is karma. I am sure that I had a poor weekend mechanically and not one that I want to repeat. I need to get the SE30 in shape so I can have some fun. I can’t believe I missed racing in another huge field. Kind of sucks. I wish I had remembered Ranger’s post about parts. I would have done virtually anything to get the car on track.
