Watch it Bryan. Waco-Racer is a big burly guy with a beard. He typically drive a blue Vette.
When you see him at TWS, go up to him and punch him right in the mouth. He'll back down pretty quick.

Thanks for the tip Mitch. Now I have two burly guys with blue vettes to punch out. I'll take Mixon out with a right hook and use my lightweight left on Waco.
No I really need to get my exhuast hooked up and finish everything so I can see if this thing runs.
Anyone going to Cresson on Sunday that could get me or my car on the track for some laps to check everything out?

Geez, Bryan, talk about telegraphing your punches.... BTW, I have a feeling Clifton is faster and sneakier than he lets on. That boy's wiry. Start working on your duck and weave. :wink:Quote:

This work thing is really beginning to bug me. Earning a living is taking WAY too much time away from important things, like racing.
I FINALLY had an opportunity to get the car up on stands and do a detailed inspection. Found several things that need addressing like rear brake pads.
According to the tracking info, they should be here Wednesday. And there is this shoot for work I have scheduled for Wednesday and need to cut for a Thursday release.
Need more hours in the day ... the weekend is looking more and more iffy ...
TWS... clockwise... as the ol' german dude used to say.. "verrrrrry interesting"... places to watch... downhill through 7 onto the flat back straight and tire wall exiting 4... oh and braking over the hump going into 3... BUT had a BLAST getting back into a race car... my neighbors are tired of me "testing my brakes" in the subdivision
I'm in the same boat Mitch. I did run the car at the track yesterday, no leaks, good oil pressure but do have one problem. It cuts out under full/hard throttle. Seems to run just fine when easing into the throttle though and at lower rpms. Hopefully I can get it on the dyno at Simple Quick and they can find out what is wrong. Probably something not hooked up right, bad ground, etc. I need to check over all my 02 sensors as that could be it since the exhaust was out, I took one out, and they were pulled on a little too much so the wires may have come apart.
If that gets fixed then I will register and would like to get in the AI/CMC garage as well if possible.

Bryan,
This may not be useful to you, but just in case... I had similar symptoms awhile back after putting in a fuel cell. I'd go WOT and the engine would cut out. I'd back off and things would be fine. Once we figured out that it was actually a pump issue and not O2 sensors, fuel injectors, or fuel cell issues, we tried moving it around and even built an air scoop for it trying to keep it cool. The motor was stock and I was using a stock size fuel pump, but it just couldn't keep up with engine needs at WOT. Kept overheating. Went through two of 'em before I said enough and went overkill. We put in a fuel pump rated up to 1200hp and huge lines. Problem solved. :)
Misty,
Thanks for the advice on your experience. That could certainly be the problem and may have contributed to the engine failure?
Glenn asked if I was low on fuel but I had a full tank. I am going to change the fuel filter since I don't know when it has been changed and start the process of elimination.
I am trying to line up some dyno/diagnosis time. I have a fuel pressure test guage I can clip under the windshield wipers to see if I am losing fuel pressure at WOT that I didn't have at the track. I put that with my stuff when I got home from the track yesterday.
Hope to have it figured out tonight.
