well, im convinced that the car's issue in Peru is not what we thought at first. Well, at least, not their fault entirely. Short version, lost some threads on a rear wheel stud. JohnV chased it down there and we were able to get a new lugnut to torque down. Talked to my tire shop this week. The owner apologized, told me to get a new stud and call him back to set up bringing it in to the guy that preps his race car to replace it.
Get to today's event. A nut on the left rear doesn't want to come off. Stud snapped near the outside, sowe only lost a couple threads. Put on another new lugnut, torqued. No problem.
Today's event, the cigarette lighter fuse blew again, so no GTech. Lost the video feed from the external camera sometime during my first run. JohnV had fuel stumble on one run. We couldn't get any more gas before I had to go to the line for my next run. Had a couple episdoes of stumble before spinning it. Twice. In the last 1/8th of the course. Somewhere along the way, John earned a rerun. He beat me with it.
Worked the course.
Came back to swap the wheels backf or the street tires to go home. One stud on the right rear (different than the bad one from Peru) refused to take a nut. Fux0r3d two nuts. Drove home with four on the right rear.
Got home, mowed lawn. Mower ran out of gas. Borrowed some from a neighbor. Got stung by a wasp or hornet on the leg. Got sting by another one in the armpit when I came by that way again.
