Terrible weekend. So first round of qualifying, I'm in the waterbox getting ready to do my burnout and my engine will not rev past 3k and it felt like it was running
on one rotor. Pushed back and headed back to the pits to see what happened.
found out one of my fuel injectors stuck open draining all 2.5gallons of methanol through the exhaust. The injector cleared up and the engine sounded really good. So we went back for second round of qualifying and I was three cars back from running when they closed the track down due to high winds. Winds picked up to 60-70mph! We waited several hours for the wind to die down but unfortunately it didn't so they cancelled the race event for safety reasons which I can understand. The wind blew down several porta potties and fences and peoples easyups were flying all over the place. lol
So basically I drove 10 hrs round trip and wasted gas and hotel spendings for nothing!!!!!! I guess it happens sometimes, what can you do?
I plan on hitting 1/8th mile testing soon at the local track. Made a few changes on the car so I was very anxious to see how it would perform.

Hate to here that man! Sounds like my last track day when I drove my car to my local track and it was closed due to wind and temps, then loaded it on a trailer, drove 2hours to strip third gear on my first pass!

But cross winds or head winds like that would be dangerous!

So I missed the last two events due to a new faulty crank sensor that was intermittent and took me awhile to diagnose. Got a new Hall sensor trigger and last night first pass off the trailer ran a 6.31 at 104mph in the 1/8th with a 1.32 60ft!!!!!!!
I got kicked off the track because I have no license and ran too fast
Record coming to West Coast very soon
I have in car video, will post as soon as I Edit.
Special thanks to Rene Franco, my Dad and all my rotory brothers who have supported me.

That think runs straight as an arrow. Do you even have to steer? Didn't see the wheel move at all.

Been awhile since an update. Well last trip to the track got me kicked out because I didn't have a full roll cage and my NHRA license. Since then I have been doing the cage myself with my Dad. Had to buy a tube bender and notcher. Cage building is not easy! lol So I finally got all the tubes bent and tacked in place. Tried to tig weld some joints with the foot pedal and it is super hard. I am now going to buy a finger trigger and then finish welding and back to the track for a 9 second pass here are some pics
