After the last event and what felt like a big loss of power, I went over the motor and decided to redyno to verify a few things....

1. That the motor had not finally loosened up and gained power....
2. That the motor might be hurt after running so hot and lost power....

Well, the new results are in....310/326....time for some serious weight loss. JG was there as an unofficial witness but I was 100 lbs heavy, so now I am almost 215#'s heavy....time to get creative....how much does paint weigh? Did the lexan last weekend so maybe I am only 170# over?! :wink:

Anyway, just keeping things out in the open and above the table! I will still probably be slow? :P

Matt W. is the man!

I have always had great respect for Matt and now have even more!
Matt is a person that wants to win each race but do it legally.

Matt invited a competitor to witness the re-dyno that he did not need to do and that is huge in my book.

I think that shows true sportsmanship.

Well, don't let me head inflate any more than it already is but I think this is proof that power isn't the key to winning races....driver, car prep and staying on course are the keys!

Hey, your winning streak is over my friend! ;-)

The car is now in my hands and will be ready for Hallett.

You are a lot closer to your minimum weight than I am! Even if I get the power back, I will still be 130lbs heavy! We shall see how things play in August with more power and a few more aero tweaks! :wink: I will see if I can WING it'! :wink:

Well, there is no chance for an engine change in my car... no $$$, but I do plan on dropping some free weight... about 50-60 lbs worth...

I'm currenlty 315 overweight!!!
