went to the auto-x race today in Sioux Falls. low and behold, 2 more LT1 powered Z28's showed up, a white t-top Z, and a red Vert. both 6-speeds. oh and an LT5 car decided to make an appearance too :D
i was the slowest of the Z28's, and i didn't get all my runs in either (6 runs total, i only got 4 in before i had to stop). halfway through my 4th run, something came loose under my right arm (under the car), and started making a knocking that i could hear through my helmet. i still don't know exactly what happened, all i know is that it's making a knocking sound whenever i get on it a little in 1st gear. it almost sounds like a u-joint that's binding really badly, like i tore the torque arm off the 3rd member or something??? i tried to make one more run, but called it quits after the first couple of corners. something is definitely not right under the car.
anyways, i ran a best of 84.336 seconds. my times in order: 86.611 (never got a chance to walk the track, took it blind pretty much), 84.336, 84.736, 87.448 (run that my car broke), after that i shut her down.
i know the white Z28 ran a best of 82.301, and the Vert kicked everyones ass with an 81.102.
the fast guys were really on their game today though. the little Caterham Super 7 ran a 65 something in one of his last 3 runs. one of the Evo's was running 68's and 69's all day long.
all in all, it was a great day. i just have to figure out what happened to the car, and get it ready for the next event:metal: i got one hell of a farmers tan too:laugh:
