Looks like we lost the oil pump and cooked the motor. It's locked up and Jay and I pulled it out yesterday. I pulled off the valve covers and there is no oil in the head at all. Cams are blue from being so hot. Drained oil and it's cooked (only one race on it Sat morning in R1) also the magnetic drain plug had metal on it. Lots of work to do between now and Cresson. If anyone knows about a wrecked Mustang GT I could get for a song (I'm a really good singer) please let me know. I need a 4.6 and the 8.8 rear end. I'm not sure it's worth it to carry the extra 50lbs. for the alum. block. We really could not tell that much difference between the iron and aluminum block engines as far as the way the car handled. I would have thought 70lbs off the nose would have made a huge difference but it did not.

I have questions.
Who won R2? Also what happened in Diamonds Edge on the first lap of R2. Jay said cars were going everywhere. He thought there was some contact with several cars. Did all the cars make it okay?
What about Sunday? Looking for a recap from R2 through the rest of the weekend.
