MSR Houston - January - Time to sign up!

[ShadowBolt]

is the motor spinning while it's in gear or is the clutch not holding? As for the fuel starve at half tank, are you certain it's starving or is it getting hot with dumps and no fuel to cool it. Remember, it's a returnless system so the fuel just gets hot and does not circulate to cool things off. I've seen several 99+ cars have fuel pump overheating issues with low fuel. Just food for thought.

It is turning the engine. Clutch is not slipping......or at least it never slips while driving/racing.

The fuel issue just started last two races. Could be heat related. My dumps are not pointed at the ground as I was trying to get all the ground clearance I could so I have them pointing at the rear tires. Going to fix that prior to next rack.

Less than 2-weeks away and still no motor in the car, or even built for that matter. I think I'm going to run Marshalls old short block from his 2005 - 2011 years that has never been rebuilt, what fun!!! Going to finish sourcing a distributor, w/p, oil pump, gaskets, etc today and start putting everything together. I'll drop the motor in next week and at least won't have to worry about "breaking it in".
See y'all soon!!

Looks like my motor will be ready late this week, there's hope yet...

Awesome AI car count!!

It won't help out car count for this event, but Dave Capps and Dave Irwin are coming back for Cresson. Both their 2005's have been reworked and are ready for the current ruleset.

Well the 24 has gone from probable to being placed on injured reserve. The 55 sent the white hat cowboy to see me and give me the flu so he could get some more podiums. Don't know why with all the cheating work done to the 55 it should be a serious trophy girl now. Thanks Michael-jury is still out on whether anyone else in the family gets it.
Back to quarantine.

15 AI cars, 2 SI, 10 CMC. SI (Corey) and CMC guys, get registered.

I can't make MSR Houston but would be interested in teaming up with someone for the 2014 season. The 3 car needs a lot of work and it will take a few months to be track ready. I already know the financial commitment to run for a whole season and I'm willing to fund 1/2 the cost of tires, brakes, oil changes and registration. I know this is short notice but I believe we just have to declare our intentions before the first grid.... give me a shout this week if interested 281 414 1738

Managed to drop the new motor in last night, no noise yet as a couple last minute items have yet to arrive. New exhaust almost complete, save the chiropractor the trouble of straightening you out and spend a couple days on the concrete; it's great. Some other bits and pieces left to do but the light at the end of the tunnel looks less like a train now....
