We dodged what would have been a "killer" bullet last night when Stephen encountered a nut that had seized on the clutch assembly. In the end the only "solution" was for me to grind it off.
What is so cool about the sport of drag racing is that it is in moments like these that you experience the beauty of good sportsmanship. Being that we are just two cars running in this category in Curacao and the other guy is, none other than legendary door slammer driver and EFI innovator engine builder, Pat Musi, we were able to not only get the part from him, but one of his crew put his experience to good use and gave us some pointers. So, the guys that we will be racing on Saturday night helped us out and kept us in the show.
We are very grateful to Pat and his crew for helping us out.
Today's race schedule has us making test passes around 9.15 and 11.15pm, so if you want to see PISS'D OFF PETE and King Kong IV stretch their legs, be sure you are at the track by nine.
Thanks for reading and if you happen to bump into Pat and his crew, do not forget to give them a "pat on the back". Truly great people.
