I decided to take the Cobra to AMP just to have some fun. I knew I wouldn't be fast since I only had my street tires and Autozone Gold brake pads but I also know I would have some fun.
In the first session I ran two 49's which was a lot faster than I thought I was going to do since they were having a Miata event and most of them were running between 46-48 on NT01's. The quickest one ran a 44 which was also the quickest car there.
After I ran the first session I noticed a little smoke coming from under my hood and when I checked it it looked like a little bit of oil was on the header where the oil dipstick passes it. I wiped it down and a little while later went out for the second session. I didn't get to make a complete run because a 350Z spun and hit the tire wall during the first timed run and another car hit a tire wall on the second timed run.
When I pulled into the pits I noticed the smoke again so I opened the hood and saw that the spark plug wire near the oil dipstick tube was on fire. So I blew it out and let the car cool down. After it cooled down I pulled the plug wire off and drove it home on 7 cylinders.
I think he tube has a hole in it right at the header which caused it all so I'll take a look at it this Saturday.
Here's a video of part of the second session.
