Well all went good today until..... It was the first day of practice at the circle track with my 85. It started off good until i got it on the trailer. My stinking shifter linkage popped off, but i fixed that when i got to the track. So i got that fixed and was getting excited. I fired it up and it was sounding mean with the straight headers. I backed it off the trailer and pulled off onto pit road. I shut it off to wait till the other cars got off. I started it up and finally got onto the track. Its the first time that i had got it out of first. I spent two laps just watching my gauges and getting a feel for the car. After every thing seemed to be going okay i started to get on it. It was handling sweet with the goodyear slicks. I was coming out of turn two then is started smoking like frieght train. My crew cheif told me to bring it back in. I ended up blowing out the side of my timing chain cover gasket and it was pouring everywhere. So by the time i got home it was about 9:30 and there isn't a parts store open. So now im screwed for tomorrow for the first race, but i did run a 20.5 second lap and i dont even have it dialed in yet. Im gonna whoop some chevy ass. Just needed to vent.
