Mac Practice

Went to the Mac Track for my 6th practice session. Prior to this session, I had removed the head off of my engine and sent it to CMC to put an insert and get a new header bolt to replace the one that had fallen out during my last session. I removed the head this time instead of sending the entire engine, so I would avoid paying the charge to have Don do it.

There were a lot of other karters at the track and I was able to run with them and compare my laptimes and racing line. This time, at the end, my carb spacer split, and the teeth on my sprocket were worn almost all the way off. I will be checking my chain alignment better, and am working on a new method of lubing my chain.
