[CVD]

Overall it was a shitty race day for me.

My car would not make more than 26psi. On every single run I had 38-43 counts of knock (unsure if it was real knock or not) under full boost (on C16). And my car kept falling on its face through half of a gear. For instance, 1st and 2nd would be ok, then into 3rd and the car just wouldnt accelerate. Then maybe 2 seconds later the power comes back. It did this in random gears at random times. Each pass degraded by about 2mph. The first being 117, then 115, then 113 then 112 i think.
Track prep was ok early on. My first 2 runs were both 1.7 sixty foots. The second two were 1.8's with tons of wheelspin.
My best run of the day was the 12.2 @ 115 with a 1.78 60' time.
I feel lucky to have gotten so many runs (4) when some only got 2. It was poorly organized and busy.

My car did break. At the very end of the day as I was leaving my oil filter gasket failed and pretty much evacuated most of the oil pan. Luckily I cought it before it could cause any damage and luckier still, Reid and his dad stopped to help out. It took an hour and a half to diagnose and fix. Fortunately we found an Advanced Auto Parts about 15 miles away that was open until 10pm.

After that the car did make it home finally. By about 2am. It will probably never move under its own power again as it is being parted out and the shell junked.

In all, the time, effort, and money to get down there this weekend probably wouldnt have been worth it even if things had gone well. I should have cut my losses and parted the car weeks ago. I'm lucky the car made it home under its own power.
