When it rains it pours...

Unfortunately we had a mishap with the wall Friday which shut down our racing glory hopes for the weekend. With the engine repaired and the blower tuned up, we knew the car would make a bit more power so we stepped the tune-up back in anticipation of the power. Well... even stepping back from our 5.80 tuneup, we had a lot more than a 5.80 tuneup in it.  At launch, the car got up on the tire and stayed on the tire until our timing curve kicked in and the car kicked out. I'm fine, the car, not so much.



A broken blower, a broken motor and now a broken car, all in a matter of months. When it rains it pours!

It's OK, chin up and we'll be back out to a track near you soon.
