Well, I worked diligently on the yellow X1/9 racecar, and thought it was pretty well sorted for the race last Sunday. The last thing to do after completely reworking the brakes and cooling system was to change the oil and take it for a spin. The engine sounded like it was coming apart, slinging oil and only managing about 30 mph. The seller must have had really heavy weight oil in the thing to keep it quiet for the sale a year ago. I was pretty heartbroken.
Then my buddy Bob found this little gem locally. This 1979 X1/9 was prepped back in 2002 to try for the land speed record at Bonneville. It didn't set the record, but the engine was really built, and it has an award winning paintjob to boot. So I'm back in the game, hoping to race for the first time in late August. BTW, it's called "The Patriot"
And yes, the various Stag detail projects are still on hold for race season...
