The news on the race sunday is as follows:

Heres the situation.... If this last race didnt count so much towards the season championship we would just cancel... but... This race will make or break some classes.
If it is unreasonably raining or snowing we will cancel; if not then we are going to just start later in the day. Registration will close at 10:30 and we hope to race at noon. We will park the trailer out at the Expo park Sunday morning with a sign on it letting everyone know. Get the word out on this change.


See you guys there.

I might race the family wagon haha. You tuned well enough for the cold? So we all just going to meet over at the race or do we want to meet at the shop then head over to the race? I guess does anyone from out of town not know where the Expo Park is? Post up when you are going to be in town and or when you want to meet up. Anytime is good for me. If you want to race you have to tech before 10:30 on sunday.


Motor is on its way back monday too.

Ditto on that. Weather always seems to kick in once we get stuff going.

Thanks Kyle! Took too long to get that way.

I was out driving today for about 2 hours. I had to replace my alternator; I was seeing 10.8 volts at idle! Now I see about 13.4 at idle/above 2500 rpm with the new one. The underdrive pulley keeps me from seeing 14V. Not bad considering the alternator will die in another two years with the underdrive main pulley.I am thinking about getting the coils rewound to 100 amps, hopefully I can find a shop to do it around here. That will solve the alternator longevity issue for sure since full electric load wont drop it below 13 volts.

I boosted up to 8 psi and 5K today and it all ready hauls f*cking ***. Scary fast, spools instantly. Fixing all those little boost leaks makes a hell of a difference. You guys should to the leak test, i am 100% sure you all have small leaks. All my Block off plates were less then 1 year old and they bleed air in the strangest places. Can't wait till 18psi and redline. hehehehe

This weekend sounds good for drive BUT my luck, I may be in Ennis to see family(just found out today). It is up in the air right now and honestly I want to stay in town so we will see.

Regardless I am driving the car to work tomorrow.

Hey guys I have an update. I live in missoula now for one thing and the other is... this one drunk guy thought it would be funny to steal my car while it was warming up and he went a mile and popped one of my apex seals. SO, I'm pissed about that cause its been three years building this engine with bridgeporting, 3mm apex seals, Knightsport turbo blah blah blah and he killed it in 1 minute.

So he's gunna pay for it but only the cost of a new quoted Mazda S5 TII engine and not my 5 thousand dollar engine. Basically I'm looking for another TII engine to put in this car while I repair my monster... again, over the winter.

You guys know of any TII engines anywhere?
