What Steve said, the weather, late planning of the event, etc. For the first time I got to watch the race instead of racing. Friday morning as I was finishing up changing cam and intake,I tried to stab the distributor and after a few failed attemps, I crawled up on the engine and looked down into the dist hole only to see one ear left on the oil pump drive shaft.I shut the hood and closed the garage door, after all it was only Friday the 13th. Since 1995, this was the first race that I have missed because of car problems. I run at least 10 scheduled races per season plus the test& tunes in between.
Several cars were having problems, Nolan Parker's green 64 GTO slowed from 11.70's to 12.0's.during time trials. I enjoy seeing QUITE 11-12 second street cars running such as Steve's, Nolan Parker's and others.
