Survived the week! 618 miles (per google maps, no speedo/odo currently, as the new transmission is electronic output, and the speedo is cable)
Note the flood warning... ran into quite a few road closures around SC Motorplex. One required turning the cars around on a 2 lane road while towing
My 2nd fastest pass here
Discovered that defrosters are an important thing, and that vacuum operated wipers (original from 1953) dont work when climbing hills! As soon as we figured out why the wipers stopped working, it was hilarious to watch them stop with throttle aplication, and then go crazy when you let off the gas.
Car only had one issue the entire week. The temp switch that triggers the fans failed (while sitting in the staging lanes of course). Pushed out of the way, diagnosed and patched together to work in 5 minutes. The fans are always running now, new part delivers tomorrow.
Now to sleep for about 4 days!
