THE-AUTOBAHN-CURSE

THE AUTOBAHN CURSE IS BACK!!!

7-4-07     After we finished with the roll bar installation yesterday we
decided to take the car for a test drive to see if there were any rattles.
We hit a huge dip in the road and the drivers side brake duct scraped.
About 10 miles down the road, the weld finished breaking.

You can see there is a duct missing.


The broken weld.
                                            This is the duct that broke.


The 3'' brake duct tube fell off the car. It hit the ground ricocheting
down the underside of the car till it hit the rear drivers side tire. The
tire didn't feel flat but the smell of heated rubber told me I should pull
over. 30 minutes later my son pulled up with the jack and spare

Damn, now we need 2 new tires. We'll just have to wait to get those
racing seats now.

7-21-07 Sorry I don't have any pictures of us doing the brakes at the
track but here is the story. The brakes felt kind of soft all day. The last
session of the day and the pedal went to the floor causing me to go off
track in the same spot as last year, turn 11. I pulled into the pits and
bled the brakes as it felt like air in the lines. Because I went off track, I
was DQ'd for that particular session. As it turns out, one of my laps
for this session would have been fast enough to pull me out of last
place, had I not been DQ'd. OH well. The next day on the practice runs
the brake light came on so back into the pits. This time we installed a
set of back-up pads which were left overs from Putnam Park. After the
pads were installed I felt a difference right away and had no problems
the rest of the day. Later I learned that I had glazed the pads which is
why they felt soft. Chris at Carbotech figured this out on the phone
Monday morning and is sending a fresh set out for Road America.
Thanks Chris!
