1st place $1500 in nickels!!! Heavy too!
Our Trophy!
So....after a late night's repairs Saturday...doing a bunch of hack job repair work on our tranny and taking the driver side driver shaft out of my daily driver/parts donor the car ran & drove...however it had a horrible vibration....we thought for sure the car wasn't going to make it past the 1st lap. None the less Dave drove the car for a solid 2hrs & 45 minutes, keeping the 4 lap lead from yesterday. During the pit stop we pulled the wheel noticed it was now leaking transmission fluid out the other side (not the side we repaired the previous night), and pouring more fluid was not helping cuz it came dripping out just as fast!
We sent Barry out w/ specific instructions to be gentle on the car. Turns out by that time our lead had shrunk down to one lap! The Supra had a 3 minute refuel & driver change were as we took 9 minutes! DOH! For the next 2hrs & 15 minutes Barry kept drafting the Supra, never letting it out of his site. Barry was running around 1minute 30sec lap times, 2~4 seconds off of his race pace...but the idea was to not break the car and just hold on to the lead!
The transmission in the car is not happy....we will see once we get it off of the trailer and what not.
