The stall was my fault. I spun the car twice and didn't get to the clutch fast enough to keep the engine idling.
Once the car setteled enough to try to re-start the engine (or my brain was clear enough) I just turned the key from the current on position to start and then NADA... Not realizing I had to turn the key completely off, then on before the starter would engage.
Once I figured out that little tid-bit of information, the re-start was a bit of a pain since I usually run with only enough gas to make the laps I'm doing and I must have sucked air into the injectors during the spins and the car wouldn't fire immediatly...
To make things worse, I was on the outside apex of the last turn in the chicane, with quite a few other cars trying to avoid me... Bare in mind, this all took place in less than a minute...
All in all, the car has always worked like a CHAMP for me. Granted, it's underpowered, but I have had some serious fun with it on the track...
I hope that in the next year or so I'll have enough money to turn it into a serious competitor... If there are any sponsors reading this thread, drop me an e-mail !!!
