Guest ChumpCar Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Greetings Race Fans! Welcome to the Nelson Ledges 14-hour Slugfest... or, is that mud-fest? More on that in a minute. A total of 34 cars passed tech inspection yesterday; however, only 30 cars seem to have taken the green flag. Perhaps a bit too much partying last night? It's 65 degrees this morning here in Warren, Ohio... clear blue skies and we're looking for a high of 85 degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wadd3456 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Thanks for the updates. I'm happy to see Strong and Biohazard overcame the recent rule clarification to the negative swap math. Remarkable efforts.Only 30 cars? I wish the SE events were like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergio Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 A notable entry... Car #184 ---- Will Race For Beer / Robin Bank Racing ---- is running here today. Yes, race fans, that's the same WRFB #184 (Saab 9-3) that ran last weekend at "The 36" in Spokane and provided us with so much excitement, finishing in 2nd place. I damn near dropped my coffee this morning when I saw the car arrive late and pull into tech. Good job, Chumps! 50 hours of racing in two weekends has to be some kind of record! These guys are either a bunch of young guys or some crazy old men, wow! They are definitly addicted to ChumpCar racing. Track is crack !!!

chenkle34 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 BTW - kudos to "CJ" who showed up yesterday at the track with her whole family and they are all volunteering to work the event today. Just keep the hammers away from her......she tends to turn them into WMDs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent merkle Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Team Phoenix is back out after replacing the right half shaft that was bad. It was the only part up front that we didn't replace after Gingerman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

u-turn Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 #114 TFE Racing e36 experienced a bad rear wheel bearing that took out the brakes and axle. They are in the paddock stripping parts off of the Bruce High Performance Transporter's training car, another e36 (automatic transmission) that the team uses for testing. Now THAT'S what a great sponsor is for! Thanx, Bruce! Oh... WAIT A MINUTE... Bruce is in the e30, driving! He doesn't even know that his other car is being stripped for parts! Thats the price you pay if you leave a pre 2000 car in the parking lot at a OBCCWS race. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy Blunder Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 John - You're no Brother Lou, but overall doing a nice job! Keep the reports coming. GO MOSTMINT - nice to see a Chumpy Saturn running so strong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilwheel Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 #321 has been freed and has rejoined the race... very little damage but the $0.25 car wash is going to make about $15 off the team to clean off the mud. Any one snap a cell pic ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsausley Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 BRE Datsun #146 must have solved their carburetion problems, as the car continues to make good lap times after their lengthy pit lane stop. Yeesh! He's running a set of carbs that I sent him. We had fuel starvation above 6000 RPM with those carbs but we have very different engine specs, so Jeff and I were hoping they'd work out. I wonder if it's the same problem creeping back up? Any update? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsausley Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Currently in 19th. Turning respectable laps at 1:27. Not terrible! Good luck guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent merkle Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 TJ Sparks now in Shad...and beat stiggy's fast lap by .4 seconds. The Stiggy isn't speaking about it but is standing suited up at the wall...staring 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
