I waited and
waited and waited until at 3 pm on Friday the weather
forcast looked like the temps might stay below zero in
Mindenhammer so I loaded up and headed up.

Roberto
Manicino SAC#149 arrived with his Dad and this
beautifully prepared car that used to belong to
Jeff Wenzel SAC#9 maybe even built originally by
Raul SAC#7? |
 |
Roberto put on
quite a show but had to return home and did not
race Sunday in order to prepare for exams. |
 My racing went really well all day
Saturday (got a SACond place!)_ until the last class 1
race Sat. when chasing down 1st the car died like the key
was turned off. I smelled hot electrics , touched the
fuel pump relay and it was extremely hot and noticed the
#1 (main fuel pump) fuse blown, swapped out relay and
fuse with good ones, turned car over and fuse blew
immediately. That was the end of racing for me this
weekend. Towed home car Sat. nite in hopes of repair but
no go as of today (Monday) suspect Hall sender or
ignition switch failure.
 Got some good pics though as I stood
on the bank but poor light as it was around 3:30pm and
heavy snowfall , overcast conditions. Terry was just too
fast for my shutter! Note the sponsor, great place to
stay, close to the track, delectible breakfasts for those
of discerning tastes - The Minden House B&B!

The
