Like i mentioned before, i was at streets of willow this weekend with my new JIC suspension...however, things didnt get off to a good start...
friday night, i was flushing out my radiator because i know it's gonna be hot on saturday for the race...everything went fine, added the red line water wetter and everything.....earlier in the day, i also got my car corner weighted and adjusted the alignment, toe-in and camber so i can maximize my sumi tires...anyway, took out allthe stuff that i odnt need such as rear seats, floor mats, panels...all the weighty stuff and went to sleep.
next morning, we always meet at a place before we all head to the race...i noticed after i got to the meeting place, there was white smoke coming out of my car...popped the hood and i actulaly forgot to put the freaking radiator cap back on...sigh...coolant was everywhere (good thing it was early in the morning around 530am so it was still cold outside!) so a buddy took me home and we found the cap and head out to the track....
the first run was really fun, pushing the car quite hard, i actaully managed to get under 1min 49sec despite NO engine upgrade..was kinda happy!
anyway, for those of you know, in streets of willow, there is a chicane towards the end of the track but it's blind so before you enter it, u kinda hve to get in the right position, so u can drive straight through it and if you run over the second candy-cane bump, you will be ready to set up for the next turn. well, tha'ts what i did but unfortunately ( i had a windshield crack earlier) my windshield started cracking...due to all the chasis flex that it had while running over those bumps....it cracked all the way from top to bottom and it will not be safe to run anymore or my windshield might shatter....what a dissapointment...
i will need to replace it on monday and it will cost me lots of money....
