2021 OLOA Day three



A hot day in Texas, at a really cool club track. Outstanding people, super clean, new pavement, tons of elevation changes, great pavement and curbing, only one thing, I have not clue where I'm going. The recon lap didn't help much on either session.
From last night's transit drive we were stuck in traffic and clutch didn't seem too happy so I was concerned about it and not sure we were going to be able to take off from our dead start after the recon laps. We made it through both sessions 1st in class and 42nd and 40th overall. Zero time on track really makes a difference.

After our sessions, I went to back in to our pit spot and our clutch issue gets worse.

After some soul searching and pre diagnosis we started calling parts suppliers and checked with locals at the track for a transaxle just in case. We called Mike DuSold in Lewisville TX about an hour away and he was awesome to get us in to help us out with a lift and help.

We try to limp it to www.DuSoldsdesigns.com but didn't make it. After a six hour wait for a tow truck we finally make it the last 14 miles after midnight. A sort Lyft ride to the hotel and we will figure out what's wrong tomorrow morning.
