This concludes a good day at the track. I unfortunately have lost my voice so I am not feeling so well. We fixed a broken fuel pump, and also have solved an accelerator cable that had slipped off its groove, and left us with no throttle. I have to say that I saw some pretty funny themes out there. Instead of FedEx, there was a car that was called F'edUp. Also, instead of Foster Farms, the theme for the car was Faster Farms with a bunch of stuffed chickens clinging to the wing. When we had to go get our car inspected, they gave us a hard time even though our car was perfectly inside the rules. The inspectors said "Oh! These are the totally cheater 944 team from last year!" (of course that car was perfectly legal as well but they questioned it because it never broke. It just stayed together the whole race). Another reason they were suspicious was because we didn't have the documentation to show that we actually had purchased the car for $100. At the end they let us go with no penalty laps, but said that if they saw us doing too well to be true, then they would send a BMW expert to tear apart our car searching for cheater mods that would have cost much more than $500. The stragety for the race is not to try to go slow so that they dont take us in, but is to totally forget that they would pull us in because we knew if they did then they wouldn't find any cheat mods on the car because there were none.
