Second points race in a row I've missed out on.
Last race my distributor seemingly died over night, it ran great on Saturday. Dead on Sunday. truck stated missing during the burnout for first time trial. No race, no points.
OK, no prob....Next race pays bonus points, I can make it up.
Yesterday, truck was fast, I was hitting the tree...I'm good to go.
Leave the truck at the track over night in a friends pits.
This this morning I go through tech, fill up with gas, adjust air pressure...Line up in the staging lanes for the first time trial, but my volt meter is reading zero, so I hop out, lift the hood and check a few common culprits and see a pool of transmission fluid.
Damn...Someone is dripping transmission fluid, that sucks....Oh shit. It's me!!!
Drive back to the pits, a braided stainless steel line running to my transmission cooler rubbed on the frame long enough to creat a leak...Every fuel line, brake line and battery cable on my truck is protecd from everything, except this little 1/4" long area.
Busted.....Loaded up and drove home.
