The
only performance issues we had were related to the battery...we had let it
run down (lots of data acq. testing without the engine running)...and the
alternator doesn't seem to have enough "oomph" to bring back a really
discharged battery.
Ralph Firman from Van Diemen was at the event and it was great the interest
he showed. Also handed out at the track were:
1) Some new wing mounting parts (for a Formula Car)
2) A new style transaxle actuator. This was a cast part which replaced
the previous machined billet part. The new actuator worked more
smoothly than the old one. Note that to get this new part, you had to
turn in your old one.
3) A new lay shaft spacer. Theoretically stronger (the old one was
said to compress under the 150 ft-lb. of torque applied to the lay shaft
nut). Personally, I doubt it and we ran the old one during the race.
I did replace the spacer for the upcoming Mosport event. FWIW, you can
identify an old spacer by virtue of the stepped shoulders the spacer has.
The new spacer is just a straight tube.
