I had a tech issue during that race, but it was my issue, and not theirs if being completely honest. I sustained damage during one of the first heat races and I under estimated:
1. The damage itself
2. The time it took to diagnose and fix it.
I was running two classes so turn around time between races was tight and I was forced to remove my carb after initial tech. My intake manifold was bent and not sealing, so to replace the manifold I had to remove the carb. Of course I got caught, but I was so slow and new to racing in general that they took pitty on me. I wasn't trying to hide what I had done, I was just trying to make it to every race on time so I was beyond stressed/ rushed.
When CKNA says the race starts at 3:23pm, they don't mess around! Show up at 3:24pm and you missed it. I wasn't trying to circumvent tech, I just ran out of time if I was going to run.
Hindsight 20/20, I'll never register to run in multiple classes again, unless I bring a mechanic with me. Trying to do everything myself wasn't worth the stress; which followed me onto the track and showed as I turned laps.
Tech folks were awesome, learned alot from talking with them. And when I was caught, they were cool about it. Treated me very respectfully. I appreciated that- cause I was trying to fly right. I just made a rookie mistake and I was over my head trying to keep up with everything in real time.
