Our first race weekend at Atlantic Motorsport Park was a success, but not without our share of problems. We only got 3 laps in on the Saturday Test & Tune and our transmission locked itself in 3rd gear. After tearing open the transmission to find hints of our problem, a good friend found us a old rusty gearbox that he had laying in his garage for a few years! With some penetrating oil to free up the bearings and some fresh gear oil after draining the water, we had somewhat of a transmission to get us through Sunday.
We achieved what we wanted on Sunday, which was to test the car and start to learn its limits. We were consistent with 1:22 laps and fast laps of low 1:21, which was better than what we expected on a first weekend with such little seat time.
We started last in the School Race (novice drivers) and were on our way to winning, but on the last lap we had a small spin on the grass, which let the 2nd place driver get by. We finished 6th in the TRAC Tour race.
Watch some video clips and pictures from our weekend.
