Rain has just dropped down to 30% for Saturday.......

Fuzzy Dice

No need to, Pete...I have already qualified for the IHRA divisionals which is my goal at Lakeland...I really don't care to race that track because I have to go right through downtown Orlando to and from there...always bumper to bumper...it is the closest IHRA track so I do the minimum to go to S.C....

I won't ask Chief Dan to do his anti rain dance, Rick, because we all know what an azzhat he is....lol...

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, we are pulling the motor and hope to send the crank out for polishing tomorrow...the new bearings are already ordered...hope to be ready for testing the end of next week...sigh...I sorta recall winning some money recently but it seems to be just a fading memory at this point.....lol....

I think we need that rain dance after all now they're talking about 50% chance of rain do your magic chief Dan.............

Fuzzy Dice

My magic is not strong enough, Rickster...got the motor back together last night with new main bearings and a polished crank...put it back in the car and fired her up...crap!...20 lbs. of oil pressure at idle...goes up with the rpm's but this motor always had 70 lbs. plus at idle...always...

Went to the store and got 20/50 Valvoline and a bottle of Lucas...put it in and started her up again...same 20 lbs...damn...may be the oil pump at this point...taking the weekend off or a break...hopefully can find the issue and make the divisionals on the 16th....sigh....

96collector

I hope it's just the oil pump after all that work. It's not looking good today the weather report afternoon rainstorm. I think everybody's going to get rained out today at all the tracks.

Fuzzy Dice

New oil pump did the trick!...75lbs. at idle and steady...off to the divisionals next week....woot!....

96collector

Good deal glad it's just the oil pump will you be going to test and tune before the race.

C5 Pete

Good news Dan!

Rick, did you guys get your race in?

Fuzzy Dice

I hope to test on Saturday night at Orlando...we'll see...gonna change the oil and filter up at the divisionals either way...going to pick her up in a couple of hours...

Yes, Pete, they did get the race in...JJ won the no box track championship again...my buddies all finished well...Rick was 5th, my friend Ryan was 4th and my engine guy was 3rd...

96collector

Yep we got the race in. I wasn't sure who won I left the track early went out in the first and second round. But the winners are Jeremy Jarosz RU Ethan Doty great job to Jeremy taken the championship again for another year.

Fuzzy Dice

I tested the car last night...something is just not right so I decided to skip the division finals...sigh...we will pull out the motor and tear it down after my engine guy gets back...I will be down a while...

96collector

That really is too bad I know how much you wanted to go up there. There is always next year. Maybe IHRA will pick that track closer to home.....
