car failed to complete 10 total laps Saturday night.
After spending thousands of dollars and countless hours
getting the borrowed engine out of the car, Installing
our engine, making a new exhuast system, it turns out
that the may 31st crash damaged the engine.
Joe took the car onto the track to shake down the car
check for leaks in 110 degree heat of the day.
After 7 laps of practice the car over heated and was
pushing water out of the over flow, we looked for
leaks, looked for blockage and after checking the
cooling system over we felt that the radiator cap may
have failed so we purchased a new one.
The team missed the 2nd session of practice and added
water to the cooled down car, we went out for qualifing
and Qualified quick time for late models. (9th over all)
Only the fastest 8 super latemodels cars would be in the
trophy dash that we just missed by 1 thousands of a second,
we had no over heating issues for this 6 lap qualifing
session.
Joe started 9th and the race went green for 3 laps then a
yellow flag came out, on the yellow lap Joe called on the
radio and said the water temp went from 200 degrees
racing to 240 in one straight away under yellow, then
to 250 on the back stretch. Joe said the car was pushing
water again, while leading late models field Joe pulled
the car off the track avoiding and further engine damage.
The engine builder was summoned to our pit and
concluded we have a blown headgasket from the
sudden loss of water in the wreck or a cracked cylinder
head from the sudden loss of water.
I will pull the engine this week and send the engine back
to Universal engine for a complete freshen up, check to
see what actualy broke and race again August 2nd.
( the track is closed after july 3rd due to heat)
We hope for better racing in the second half of the season.
I will let you know what the engine shop found when I
find out. Check the multimedia section at
