Spoke to Sam on Friday and it was definetely one of the fuel pumps. He's trying to get a hold of APS to figure out what could have caused it and for warranty issues
so basically nothing new but I'm sure he'll figure it out soon

The fact that Sam is pretty much the best there is and he is struggling on a solution for so long now makes it even more depressive.
I have seen my z for 1 week in the last 3 months and get really sad everytime I see a Z on the street.
Even if they finally get it solved (again, this is not against Sam, he has been working his *** off on this) they still need to install the cage before I can race it and that will take time and money again, so I don't think I'll be able to compete this year anymore and just try to go to my happy place whenever something reminds me that I used to have a z...

I was hoping to get some sponsorship based on good IDRC performances but I already missed 2 out of the 3 events this year and from what it looks like I'll miss the finals as well. So it's all out of pocket and no fun.
I'm just really frustrated since there's no light at the end of the tunnel and the racing is my only outlet these days.
Anyway, enough whining from me for today, time for bed

Tom,
I understand how you feel man. It is very frustrating not having the car for so long, seeing other Z's and then once you get the car back... Something else happens after a week or two and it goes back in for work again.
Good luck with everything man. And try to hold on.
