Track Days 2023 & 2022 - Lets keep this going
#52
It's Tuesday and I'm still working on the MGA. Got up at 5:00 A.M. Got the carburetors in, installed fan and tightened down alternator, adjusted valves and installed distributor. Spun engine without plugs. Had trouble getting oil pressure - I think I had an air block in the oil cooler lines - finally resolved. Then showered up, dressed and came into work.
I have a full day tomorrow, so tonight it is do or die. Hope to be racing on Friday.

I haven't had time or strength to report on Lime Rock Empire Cup event, but I'm heading back today for Track Night in America. Taking the S2000.
Had some wheel stud problems where they were overtorqued and one stud seemed cross threaded as well - or at least stud was stretched. That one broke. So I had to do an emergency stud replacement, right front. To get the stud in, I had to cut the dust shield and the stud as well. It is 3/8" short and has about 30% of the head removed for clearance. So I probably lost 40% of the holding power of that stud, but I'm pretty comfortable that it is better than nothing.
