The shop did find some very minor particles along with what appeared to be water droplets. Car fired right up and came back to life. Raced to meet with the group, arrived at 10:29 and they had left 10 minutes ago. Took off to try and catch up, 10 minutes later the problem started over with about a 45 minute drive to the Glen. The car got worse and worse and actually coasted into our campsite as the car stalled dead, again the car got dangerously hot. Seemed obvious, fuel starvation making it run lean and hot. Let the car cool down and fired it up 5 minutes before track time. Again fired up and drove fine. Made it to the gate just as they closed it and waved me off- too late. Frustrated I parked the car the rest of the day and went downtown with my pals to take in the festival. Went to the paddock Saturday to talk to some wrenches and get some opinions. The conclusion came back that it was the electric pump. Scoured the paddock but could not find a spare. Decided to make an early departure Saturday afternoon, not knowing how long it would take to get home. At this point the car was running at about 60% power but did not get overly hot. I kept the RPMs down and the air temp was lower. Made all the way home this way without a hitch. Checked to see how the pump felt- not hot and sounded OK. cont'd
