Well, I've been fighting an overheating problem with the DP Mini all
season. I finally broke down and bought a new "super two-core"
radiator ($140 ON SALE, and if any of you have ever seen a Mini
radiator, you know what a rip-off that price is!!!) Put it in last
week, ran a local event last Sunday, and it still hit 230 after an
85-second run!!! Only one thing left to check...TIMING! I put the
timing light on it this afternoon and found that it was advanced into
the stratosphere!! Duh, that should make it run hot, right?!?!?!?
Should have checked that before I ever sprang for the new rad.
Plus, I found out this afternoon, after I scraped all the rocks off,
that my front slicks are starting to cord. And we've got a Divisional
this coming weekend in Lake Charles!! I called John Berget for a rush
job on a couple of R-160 replacements. They're due in about 10
o'clock Friday morning and I plan on leaving here no later than 2
o'clock Friday afternoon. That should be a real trip trying to get
them mounted and installed before I hit the road!!! 8<{) If they
don't make it here in time, I've at least got an old set of rock-hard
R-570s that I can get mounted up and stick on the back, since they
just go along for the ride.
Is that enough classic TLS BS for you???
