Well, after race #3 I have been working on it a little. We lost PS during the race. Put some fluid in the reservoir to see where the leak was. Ended up being a seal in the steering box. Fluid shot out the top seal for the sector shaft, spraying right into the fan, which slung it everywhere!
I opened the box up (it is a 4x4x2 box that I converted from a 78-79 Bronco). Upon inspecting it, the sector shaft was severely cracked at the splines where the pitman arm attaches to it! Fortunately there is a spare box in the garage, but it is my last parts box
This racing stuff is starting to get expensive. Still looking for that tire sponsor
