Friday day 2 Watkins Glen

The morning qualifying session went well.  The sessions are 30 minutes. I'm more use to 20 minutes so that was nice.  Adding the water, corrected the water temp gauge issue.  Noticing a small oil leak toward the front of the engine, not to bad but something to keep a eye on.  The afternoon session was a little slower in lap times.  Started to have fuel pressure problem,  the gauge was reading close to 15 psi, should be 5 psi.  So with high pressure, the pump forces gas through the carburetor and starts to flood the engine.  So today I need to pull the full pump and inspect the fuel pressure relief valve.  Our race is at ten o'clock, hope to have the repair done by then.
