Second, after a 33 hour straight build, the cars headed to the track. The Lincoln headed out with Bobby and Ron early in the morning, and Dave, Damion, and Jeff (a.k.a. Speedycop) stayed with the 63 Thunderbird to get the BMW V-12 working well, as well as fixing some smaller items such as seat belts, cable dressing, and the exhaust.
The Rocketbird was trailered and we headed out to Summit point. Upon arival, the crew immediately started unpacking and setting up the work area, with only one fire to put out (literally).
Now, working late into the night (again, with no sleep yet), and with the help of a few other teams here at the 24 Hours of Lemons Paddocks, we got the V-12 sounding fantastic for about 30 seconds. Then the water pump blew. Even now, more teams are working to help us resolve the water pump issue, and we thank thank them.
THANK YOU to the other teams that are helping out!
