May 30th, Marion, OH UMTR race.
Pulled into NPD( National Parts Depot ) around 9 a.m. in MI while leaving for race to pick up a Mustang decal that blew off the car the night before (along with the window). Met my buddy Jason along I-75 and headed to the track. Got into Marion Raceway about 12.30, gates don't open till 1 p.m. Good to see race friends in UMTR. Into the gate and start unloading. Replaced the ignition coil due to a spudder in the engine and made a carb jet change for weather. Class call!!, up to the lanes. Wow! clutch is really soft as I drive up. I'll just make a pass and investigate in the pit. Leave at 6400 rpm, car pulls the wheels, go through the gears, that clutch is driving me crazy!!! Car runs well but not a 100%. Get under the car and start to make another adjustment, but notice the clutch fork is bound up and not releasing. For 45 minutes me and Jason try to make a pivot adjustment and just can't make it happen. The trans has to come out to correct the issue. I'm done for the day, but had a great time watching Jason and the other stick cars getting it on!!
