WELL, it might just be a blessing in disguise on the trans. It ran HOT. We were slated for 10 laps. On the 3rd lap, it climbed over 210. By the 4th lap, it was pegged past 250... I just ran it. No problems out of it, but she was HOT... The engine temps were perfect, staying right at about 165, according to the gauge. We only suffered a flat tire on the 9th lap, which happened in a turn not more than a quarter mile from the start/finsih/pit area. So, I just drove it to the pit area so we could change it there. Please tune into my thread on race 2 for the results!! The old Bronco did us proud!
The July 9 race is the Spartanburg race. I believe it is gonna be held at the fairgounds there. (So, probably no shade trees in sight)... We will have an easy up. You are all more than welcome to come and hang out with us. Might want to bring some extra shade, if you have anything. Entry is typically about $10 or so per person and they are very cool about letting people wander around and the like.
I will have more info as we get closer. Right now, I am still trying to deal with the taste of dust in my mouth...
