Oct. 2009 Florida Touring Series Race Citrus
County Speedway the first time Cody's been back on the track in two months as
it took that long to get his motor rebuilt. Was great to be back at the track
for sure.
There was a practice session Friday evening the night before
the race and was the first time we had the motor under load on the track. Well
our luck with motors continued as we had oil leaks all over the place to fix so
we didn't get much track time. The time spent working on the motor took away
from having time to work on setting the car up for the track.
Saturday ,
race day I went to the track early to finishing working on fixing the oil
leaks, Cody got to sleep in. We replace the valve cover gasket and had a bolt
break so we had to cobb a replace bolt up with the hope it won't
leak.
With no time to work on car set up cost Cody during the race as we
had the wrong gear in the car and didn't have the time to change it.The wrong
gear was my fault I never even stopped to think the FJ1200 would need a
different rear gear than the FJ1250, we know now.
All in all it was
great to be back at the track, great to see Cody back in the car and we now
have all the issue's with the motor fixed (knock on wood) so we should ready
for the next race. Below are videos I shot of Friday practice and Saturdays
practice, race. |
