Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Just got back home. Colin ended up finishing, got 13th in LWB class and 60th overall out of more than 120 racers starting. Just about 50 miles over all, 5 laps total, his fastest lap was just under 30 minutes and topped out at 53.3 MPH.
No major issues other than a steering return hose was rubbing on a belt and got a small hole that drained all the steering fluid...we hiked back to pits and got a new hose & fluid, all good after that.
Colin's gay kill switch (the one mounted behind the truck) flipped itself back to 'off' twice from bouncing around. That was stupid.
The shocks were completely faded before mile #1 and sometime before completing lap 2 the front urethane bumpstops had both exited the vehicle, along with one of the rear shocks and the Kia bump on that side. So needless to say it rode like ass all day long but the motor ran awesome and we barely had to get out of the truck.
The bumpstop towers held up fine
and with some better shocks/bumps and fuel system (the way it is now the last 3-4 gallons in the cell are basically useless, and with a 15 gallon cell and 2-3 MPG we had to fuel often) I think it'll be a pretty reliable racer.
p.s. Ken, Colin's got that t-case and the other forks n stuff. Not sure what you're tryin to do with it but good luck regardless.
