Now here is where the trouble starts!!! During our second session of the day Kim's brake hose decided that it didn't like the autox and literally popped. This is a braided steel Stop Tech brake hose and it had an internal failure. Not typical...but these things do happen when you are pushing the car to its limits!!!
Here you can really see the bulge in the line where it ruptured. The fluid came pouring out of the rub hole right abouve it.
We went to a local autozone and picked up a stock brake hose and threw it on. The cobra was able to drive and stop just fine but we didn't race it anymore just to be safe.
A HUGE THANK YOU GOES OUT TO THE FARRINGTON FAMILY FOR LETTING ME USE THEIR BRAKE BLEEDER!!!!!! Very high tech and it worked perfectly!!!!
Saturday night was a shrimp boil at the "Toy Box" and a late night Go Kart excursion. We had too much fun and those darn go karts were way more dangerous than the autox!!!
I was most excited for Sunday since this was my first Speed Stop Challenge. It was a blast and my car did pretty well!!! First there was about an hour of autox fun runs then it was time for the SSC.
My brother from another mother!!! This is my buddy Michael Tucker's car named "Trouble". It's my Camaro twin and such a bad a$$ car!
At the awards ceremony Kim and I were suprised to learn that she won the "Hard Luck Award"!! This is the same award that I won at RTTS for breaking my trans. She got the plaque and a really cool BFGoodrich luggage bag.
