build diary

August 19, 2007: I put this picture up because I liked it for some reason.
Anyhow, after my first session Brandon noticed fresh antifreeze on the side of the hood. After a bit of hunting, I found a rubber cap that had sprung a small leak. It would have also been leaking onto the belt, could that have contributed to the break? It certainly would have hurt my cooling, as the system wouldn't have pressurized. Bill and I came up with a good temporary fix.
While the sweeper was the challenging corner, the most entertaining was probably the first one after the front straight. I was going in pretty fast, and the car rotated really well. On one lap, I basically turned in and then straightened the wheels, letting the back end just smear around the entire sweeper with no lock on at all. It felt wonderful.
