After the dampest of squibs on Friday night, I spent Saturday Prepping the B7 and B74.2, to rescue what could have been a rather depressing weekend’s racing. Practice with the B7 was OK, the backend was right with the heavier lower shock…
Went out for a couple of laps of practice, clipped a corner, pulled the 4.8mm ballstud out of Bulkhead B, prema-shagging bulkead B, necessitating a complete rear end rebuild once new parts get here. Went home.
