SCCA at the Grand Sierra Resort & Casino.
Proof positive that I can't take pics for chit. What made me buy a point & shoot Pentax without a viewfinder, I'll never know. Attach file:  IMGP0514.jpg (0.00 KB) IMGP0513.jpg (0.00 KB) IMGP0512.jpg (0.00 KB) |

Great way to spend a day.
Did you happen to hear any bells ringing or lights flashing before or after the event? |

Pics look fine to me!
I like the rims on that yellow vette. Did you run at all, or were you working? Matthew |

No, I didn't run or work, just hung out. I work all the SCCA road racing events here and that's about as much volunteering as I want to do. There were maybe 20 Vettes there but when I went back to the C4 for fresh batteries, there was a puddle of antifreeze under it so, no more pics. |

No biggie, a hole in a heater hose. At least there were trailers full of tools there.

My C4 didn't get in the pics, who wants to see a puddle of antifreeze anyway. My racecar has a slight miss in the motor. Attach file: IMGP0515.jpg (0.00 KB) |

It's out of a Formula Ford motor, 1600cc. Love the class, hate the motor but unfortunately there's never been a Formula Chevy class.
The motor blew at 6700rpm, just past start/finish at Laguna. It will be quite a while brfore I'm back on the track. |

Sorry to hear that. What do you think made it fail? I could see if you zing'ed it, but at only 6700 RPM?

6,800 is redline and this is a stock motor (stock spec, minor mods).
Looks like the crank failed. There was one ARP rod bolt broken but, I think that happened during the explosion. I haven't seen one this bad in a while. Everything was destroyed inside including breaking the cam in half, dist.gear, dry sump gear, etc. A new Scat (approved)cast crank is $850.  |
