After not hearing from Scotts Performance for a few weeks, I called and they eventually tracked down my damper. Unfortunately they said since it was, you know, on fire.. they would not service it as it could be warped from the heat. They were nice enough to return my damper (uncleaned), all mounting parts (cleaned up looking so new I thought they were new) and a few replacement pieces that are brand new… all for $7.31. Next stop, Barry @ KFG Racing, I’ll see if he can restore it.
Tomorrow I’ll be sending in the slightly burnt Scotts Damper. I suspect I might go over the “average cost” for a “completed service”, which is quoted @ $35/labor & $30/parts. I’m curious what they’ll have to say about it…
WMRRA Round 4, June 12th – June 13th @ Pacific Raceway
I hadn’t fully recovered from the crash, as it turns out I had a mild concussion and sprained my neck. My entire right side has been fairly sore. I corner worked Saturday, which was tiring, despite it being a quiet day. I started Sunday feeling fatigued but optimistic. Within ~2 laps of my first race it was clear I was beyond fatigued. With each lap I felt more injuries from the crash that haven’t healed. It became less about racing, more about pushing mind and body to endure the race. I finished both races, although very displeased with my lap times. Chaos ensued before each of my races, which didn’t help matters. I look forward to racing while not entirely fatigued, I’ll most likely skip Spokane to ensure I’m fully recovered.
