I am ready for a full weekend of racing! I charged the batteries, put a new radiator cap on, with no relief lever and changed the jets in the carb ever so slightly.

I am trying to lower the EGT from 1350 degrees down to 1200 – 1275 degrees. I went from 88/89 jets (Jegs) to 892/893 (Holley precision jets). The change is so small, it probably won’t make a difference.

I checked for leaks under the car. It was dry as a bone, for once. Checked all the pan bolts, the steering connections and the flywheel and starter bolts. Everything was tight. I put retention straps on my breather caps. Added a little brake fluid to the front reservoir.

My next challenge is getting a parking space, if we ever determine how to get our fees paid. I have been trying for two days. Today I got a number. Tomorrow I get to pay and park.

Passing inspection is the final challenge.
