Might have gotten you one... if you had a Camry for rent.

OK, to get a little more hype going for this event, I thought I'd post up a classic race from the first time NASA raced at Hallet back in '04.

In this video, there are five AI cars visible (more in the race that are not seen), three champions, four different race leaders, lots of side by side action but no bumping, a championship secured, and a question on who won the race. Oh, and one broken windshield after the checker... All good stuff that I miss a bunch.

Hope you enjoy.

The short: Car has issues and I was wondering if I could run an external fuel pump (wik stock tank) just for Hallet and still get points?

The long: TWS during the last race, the car would momentarily cut out for 1/2 second. Got worse near the end of the race. During the cool down lap it was barely running and ending up dying completely after T10. Towed in, pushed car onto trailer, get home, rolled it back into the garage. The next weekend, go to find the problem, car starts, runs 10 minutes no issues. Repeat the following weekend. Same results.

Took car to a shop last week, get it back today (running) drove onto trailer, get home, now it won't run again. Ign on, start, runs for a second or two then dies. Crank again and nothing. Sounds like what Nicks did when they sold him a TBI fuel pump instead of the TPI one. So I'm leaning towards the fuel pump is out/going out. To swap it out is a royal pain in the ass (not to mention the other items I've procrastinated that I was planning on finishing up this weekend).

*If* the f/p is the problem, would it be possible to use an external one (I have the one we took out of Nicks car) just for the Hallet weekend (or should I have just kept my mouth shut and used it if I had to)?
