The Later was won by having a fuel surging issue around the last corner.
I had a small fuel leak near the gas tank after my second practice session, so with an hour before the Time Attack started, I call my Friend Keith over at azdynochip to see if I could get it on a lift to get a better view of what was going on. I was fortunate that it was a simple fuel line, So I ran over to Checkers and got a length of hose, Got back to the shop, fixed it, and back to the track in time to catch the time attack drivers meeting, but in the process burned up quite a bit of fuel I hadn't planned on, and didn't have time to top off the tank before the race.
Had a great run, until I had an issue with fuel sloshing away from the fuel pump during the last few turns. Coming out of the last turn, the engine sputtered on me mid-powerslide past the apex, so I had no choice but to hit the dirt. I slid sideways about 150 feet and took out a lap timer tripod and filled the car with 50 lbs of dirt and dust, but after a few turns of the key to prime the fuel lines again, I started it right back up and did one more lap. No damage to the car, and Nothing broken other than a tripod leg!
Since I was on of the last people running, Everyone was waiting for the results near the start/finish area, and subsequently they were all covered in dirt and dust, It looked like Ground Zero!
But it was a good time, great end to my spring track season.
Still a have a LOT of cleaning to do!
I'm thinking of getting a CF roof made over the summer, and possibly going full CF widebody & doing a 5X114 hub conversion, so I can get some wider wheels & stickier tires. I need some more grip, I was just about to destroy those street tires out there. My brakes just chew up the street tires.
