Default Day #9 ....... more racing

No photo's today. Had my hands full. (But I do have in car video, will upload later) After morning practice the left brake cylinder decided to take a dive. Scrambled to find a new cylinder and new brake shoes (yes I forgot them at home in the garage) and purchased from Cobra Automotive. Porterfield brand $$$$$$$. A buddy from CVAR happened to be attending the event as a spectator, and help replacing. Made the Mustang race within two hours, then the Big Bore race 1.5 hours after that.

Qualifying race was quite interesting. Only 4 laps then all cars black flagged.
Corner #1: '65 Mustang off left in kitty litter
Corner #3: Corvette blows up to the right, pouring oil (three cars back from that event)
Corner #3: AC Cobra off to the left, no idea
Hurry Downs: '67 Mustang off to the right, flat tire
Corner #9 (Carousel): Jaguar off to the left in the kitty litter
Corner #11 (The Kink): '65 Mustang wads up his front end. Comes to rest in the middle of the track.
Thunder Valley: Off to the right, but can't remember what that was.

The drivers are getting pretty aggressive now. Glad I run in the back.
