We went to Cecil County Dragway last night for some TnT runs.
Typical snafews; car wouldn't start right outta the trailer! The short wire from the plug boot to the manual kill switch had broken at the ring connector. Fixed that, made a run: 12.988 - thrilled. Ben is ecstatic, but then says that the car wouldn't shut off with the switch and he had to use the manual kill. Back to the pits; a little studying - the wire from the coil to the on/off switches had broken it's soder joint at the coil. Good thing this car came with a lot of parts - put the other coil on, good to go we hope. Can't tow the car, the go-kart belt is totally fried - I need to eat less (per Ben) . So, I ran down to push him back each time.
Long night short, we got 5 runs in:
12.988
12.960
12.790 (took 5 #'s out)
12.971 (super sticky line!)
12.908
Packed it in at 10pm, 2 hour pull home - happy Kid ='s a happy Dad!
Looking forward to Quarter Aces Dragway this Sunday.
