Qualifying Saturday

Saturday morning qualifying was ok.  The afternoon qualifying race did not go as smooth.  The top front nose brackets came loose and caused the nose to drop a couple of inches.  This action went in different directions.  First, the nose started to hit the road, second it pushed the water cooling line into my oil pump drive belt.  Thrid, the oil drive belt cut into my radiator hose causing a water leak.  By now I was off the track and waiting for the tow truck.  The nose support can be repaired with just a little work.  The drive belt was no good, Chris, who takes care of Jim's car had one in a box of spares.  The radaitor hose was special, it had different sizes at each end.  That one I was very lucky to have as a spare.  I had been using it as a pencil holder on the top of my tool box for the last 3 years.
So have a little work this morning.  Our race happens at 2:15, should be plenty of time.  Oh, guess who arrived yesterday afternoon.  Eric and has Lola T300.
