I attended my first EWC event at Road America this weekend and had a great time, (sort of).
My first lap of Saturday practice I blew a head gasket and lost all of the water out of my engine.
A couple of guys came over and helped me diagnose the problem. Without spare parts I was about to pack up and head back to Cheboygan, Michigan (335 miles). Well about that time John Vlasis came over and when I told him of my problem, he said..."Your sure as hell not going home, were going to get you back on the race track". So thanks to him, Bill Bergeron and Tom Tipsword, the car was ready for Sunday mornings practice, which went perfect for me. But on lap three of the Sunday race the inlet from the fuel cell to the fuel pump came off, so I parked in turn one for the rest of the race.
WHAT I REALLY WANT TO SAY IS...what a terrific group of people compete in formula ford, not one of these great guys had I ever seen before in my life and they were there within minutes to help me out.
So again I say thank you, thank you, thank you and I really look forward to meeting you all again next year.
All the best.
