Luckily I don’t live far away from the track so I managed to get 4 hours of sleep before I was up to start getting ready. I still needed to bleed the radiator and pack all my tools and spare wheels
one the way to the track one of the boost pipes blows off as I’d must have forgotten to do the clamps, while sorting that and doing a quick check of the other pipes we noticed a familiar sight... oil dripping from behind the cam pully
it looks like the salvaged seal wasn’t up to the job, but unlike the night before this was just a steady drip so I decided to at least get to the track and see if it got any worse...
By the time we got to the track it was raining and although the drip hadn’t gone any worse the rain + me slowly driving to the paddock left a noticeable trail of oil and the marshals where not impressed,
At this point I was too tired to care if I missed another day, but I thought I’d at least try to get one drift done, so we skipped the sighting lap / noise test (to avoid idling next to a Marshall for an extended period of time and went out.
ofcouse after one lap the Marshall pulls me up at the start like and says I need to sort the leak out but I can finish my 2nd lap,
so after a total of 4 corners 2 spins and 2 ish skid attempts decided to call it a day rather then trying to do somthing to hide the drip...
At least after all my hard work, I made it out on track and got further then my first attempt... maybe my 3rd go will actually be a success who knows....
