I did loop the car once (a little over a 180). After I was bumped to B group, and was trying to hang with some of the big dogs up through Thunder valley. I was in a fairly hard right hander where the track fades away. The front end unloaded. I didn't open the wheel enough before unloading. As the car settled down the back end had already started around. Made a little noise, but really a non-event. My fault, I was off line to the inside & should have opened the wheel earlier. Most fortunate part was 1) there wasn't anyone remotely near behind me 2) the whole thing carried me off the line.
Overall, what a GREAT weekend.
I had one mechanical issue.
My throttle linkage came undone under the engine near the transmission. One of the ball & socket type connections. I recently had some transmission work done. I am assuming that when they removed the engine/tranny they may have worn the socket to the point where it no longer holds the ball in tight.
temp fix: piece of duct tape over the ball to fit tighter. Then safety wire around the "neck" of the ball side then up around the socket side and tightened where the socket piece threads onto the throttle cable.
Thanks to Jerry and Pat, Carston, Rich and all !
