370z getting ready for the track to run AER

m13s

Round two in the books. Thursday fogged in minimal laps, Friday, rain, and we blew a pinion seal, no qual time. STated at the back of the grid in class 4. Total 80 cars with 20 cars in class 4. I started the race and in the first 15 minutes the diff temp spiked had to come in and check a fitting and add diff fluid. Had issues with the tranny, we lost 5th and 6th gear (fork maybe?) and ran the car anyway. All drivers did their stints a few spins no one hit anything and we tried to manage the car for the day without the two top gears. The Glen is a very fast track so this turned out to be not the wisest move. 10 minutes let in race 1 for Saturday the motor went.

Appears to be a rod bearing but won't know until we get the motor opened up. Tough weekend all around but something we can build on. Made some really good suspension adjustments and worked with getting the brake bias dialed in. The car pulls away from stock e36 and stock E46 (most of the field = E30/36/46/E92) Car is capable of a podium once we get it back together and sorted.

Car was a fan favorite people loved the wrap and the 'Angry Tadpole' theme.

On to NJMP in a month.
