Quick update

 Here is a quick update on the Zarzycki Racing exploits

Justin ran at New Hampshire in May but had an unfortunate meeting with a lapped car and basically the car was a write off.   

We purchased a project car with the idea of getting it on track for Lime Rock.  We came close but did not make it and the additional work prevented me from running at Lime Rock also.  Sigh.

He tested it at Thompson on July 7.  Murphy has been with us the entire way and a pulled head stud resulted in a oil leak that kept us from running more than a few laps.  But the potential is there and we are looking forward to (fingers crossed) debuting the car at New Hampshire in August.

I finally got out at the Thompson Majors - this is only the 3rd time out with the car and it was tougher to say if it was the car or the driver that was holding things back.  A bad slave cylinder just before the main race (Murphy jumped cars) made that a thrash but it was all fixed and ready to go.  The race itself was not the best but after a driver error, he put his head down and on old tires went 1 second faster than last year.  

With some more tuning and fresh tires, maybe we will be back in the hunt again.

More to come - with pictures.
