I'm not even going to start a thread for Bradenton. Let's get that one over right now.

First pass today for time trials: 900 feet and kaboom. ANOTHER BROKEN ENGINE. To hell with this stock connecting rod horseshit.

Damn, Sorry to hear that SD.
It sure makes the drive back a lot longer.
Do you think that there may have been some oil still in there somewhere?

I was about to say look at the bright side but I can't find one.
I guess it's time for some

Well, at least you've determined what the weak link is!

I don't think so, Peter. We cleaned the system out when we switched the intercooler so it should have been ok. I know there's no oil in the engine now....it is all over the damn return road.

Can't seem to find a bright side either. Except for the fact that there will be NO racing until this thing is done right. Looks like I will be skipping Commerce and using the rest of March and all of April getting the car completely upgraded. You are right about one thing......lots of time for now!!!

Engine or Car?

Yeah....the original weak link is that idiot kid of mine that blew up the first engine. That thing was just perfect. Since then....two engines have taken a shit on me with very little use. First, I need to slap the shit out of him again. Second, everything is coming out of this car to be inspected and fixed. Turbos are going back to Rick for inspection and upgrades. Something about reeeeaaallllyyyy light impeller wheels........

Ok Now that sucks worse then having a bad weekend.

 

[US-1]

This trip has me questioning the whole "bad day at the track vs. a good day at work" thing right now.



I know...I need serious psychiatric help. And more beer.

 

[kdesigns]

You sticking around for the weekend? I'm leaving here after lunch...

 

[US-1]

I'll be here for a while, Keith. Have to talk to P/A, ATF Factory, and BBR today. Waiting to hear from Del Pino too. If he can get the convertible back together I'll be using it for the weekend. If not.....I may skip town sometime tomorrow afternoon.

 

[TexasKyle]

Give me a shout when you get back...first dozen or so are on me.

 

[don_w]

I was about to say look at the bright side but I can't find one.

Well... it's a good 1/8-mi combination!

Seriously... that sucks SD; especially the timing.

 

[bigray327]

That sucks, SD. If you wanna get your mind off it and bring the kid down to see some shit at NASA (the space guys, not the race guys), let me know.

 

[NastyStang113]

Are you going to be staying the rest of the weekend? .. or are you going to head back? I'm going down to race in 'true street' but my clutch is raped so we'll see how that goes. I'm willing to bet the car goes home on a trailer ...

[navbtcret]

Damn SD I am really sorry to hear about all your issues so far this year. There is just not much else to say. Hang in there better times have to be heading your way soon.

I like the guy, he talks alot of smak about his sponsors,other peoples combos (i respect that) but your gonna try to compete with a turbo motor with stock shitty rods? HMMMM your just asking to be a schlep and loose.
