The team encountered some small issues trying to get the car out on track today. During engine warm up, the water pump sprung a leak. After installing a new pump and driving the car for a quick shakedown, we discovered that an aluminum insert had pulled out of a rear lower control arm. The rest of the afternoon was spent switching the suspension back to steel components and setting the suspension up again. The car will be ready to run tomorrow morning.
ETS suffered a transmission failure today and had to perform an engine swap in the afternoon. They should be ready to go tomorrow. Oklahoma’s car ran reliably today and they were able to get skidpad and slalom practice done today. RIT arrived with their crate this afternoon, but did not make it out onto the track.
