This weekend we went back to star. We were not sure if the rain would hold out or not, but it did. The first practice there was a problem. We had to change the fuel pump, and some other stuff.
To start the second practice Richie went out and then came in for an adjustment, when he went to fire the car it wouldn’t start. To make a long story short, Richie didn’t get much practice.
