9/10/2013 It was one of those days

You might notice there is no entry for the Cheap Date at NHMS.

Well, that is because I did not make it.  Racing is not always a fun and rewarding endeavor, some times it is a real PITA.

Here is the scenario:

Labor Day - 5 days to race.
Wheels attached - car on ground.
Got starter from Steve P (Thanks - found out I made a mistake reassembling my original one - more on that later.)
Rock car to check clutch - not working.
Still need to mount tires and paint tail.
Still need to mount transponder and finish fuel system.
Still need to align and maybe change front spindle.
Still need to mount seat belts and finish seat.
Still need to clean trailer and pack for an away trip
Still need to check loose rivets on pan
Still need to put numbers on and mount mirrors
Get the drift?

Look at everything that needs to be done and most important thing is to get sleep.  Clean up and go to sleep.

Throw in proverbial towel.

A week later with some energy I finish fuel system.  Fix clutch ( car had wrong master cylinder for my slave cylinder.)  Do more body work.  Trying to decide if want to make NARRC Runoffs.

It looks possible - race is nearby and look like low key with it going up against the National Runoffs (whose idea was that?)

So still pushing - still working - will keep you posted (with more pictures soon)

Thanks for reading.
