Unfortunately on my first pass... my clutch Master Cylinder went out.

For a couple days i was fighting with a leaky one.. and the night before we left it went out.

Its a 13/16th bore size.. and hard to find. I actually found one.. so on the day we were leaving... i drove to go get it. the guys put the 3/4 bore Master in while i was gone. When i got back with the new one..they said the 3/4 was working fine. So we ran it.

Well.... It blew the seal on the first hard high rpm shift.. so it wouldnt diss engage the second clutch disc.

I brought the bigger bored Master just incase... so i went to work. Changed it real quick but didn't bring the shortened clutch rod with me. So it was over.

rookie mistake.

next time!!

Can't wait for next time. The word is out on your power...I hear a lot of people were talking about wanting to see the 69 Camaro run.

Could be worse, I blew my motor 2 weeks before the event. Hope to see you at the next one!
