Bugzilla - Mid Engine Madness

[Bugzilla]

Well after a very long day yesterday, I dont have much good news to report. The day started off bad and just got worse as the day went on. So I show up around the time that the paperwork said to show up at and apparently that was about a hour too late. Track walk and drivers meeting were already done and I saw cars sitting in line to run the course. So I run down to the check in spot, get checked in, and find out I am in run group 1 which is already running... So I run back to the Bug, take everything out of it, slap some numbers on the side and drive out to the course. I didnt even have time to hook up the Gopro. I took it easy on the first lap to get to know the course. Second lap I start pushing it harder and in doing so, I kept smelling raw fuel in some of the hard turns. I thought since my tank was full, it was just spitting some fuel out the overflow. I also saw my oil psi drop to 20 psi in one of the turns. Then on lap 3, the gas smell was there the whole lap, not just through turns. I was going balls out on this lap too. After I do the lap, I start driving back over to the pits and then the Bug started popping out the exhaust and died. Would not restart. Pushed it in to the pits and started looking it over. I had a fuel fitting leaking so I thought that it was low on fuel psi and thats why it didnt start. Well after I got a new fitting and put it on, it still wouldnt start. Tinkered around with it for a hour with no luck and gave up. I had to go home to get my Jeep and my dads trailer since I drove the Bug to the event. Put the Bug on the trailer and took it back home. When I got home, I pulled the valve cover off and didnt see anything odd. Did a compression test and it was at 155 psi on all cylinders. Plugged in the laptop and had no codes. However, when I am trying to start it, it shows the rpms going from 0-6000-0. Not the 250-300 that I normally see. So I am guessing its a crank sensor at this point. I will throw one in tonight and see what it does.

As for how I actually did, I have no idea. They normally post the lap times online but did not do so this time. The lady next to me was keeping times on me since I was competing with her husband. So according to her, the best lap I did was a 40.3 (his was a 42.x). As I was watching other people run, I noticed that very few people were in the 40s and only one or two people got in the 39s. So I think I did pretty good but cant say for sure. I am working on getting the times for the class I ran in. One of my friends got a video of my fist lap, but thats it. I will post it later. EDIT - VIDEO IS POSTED
