Quote: Bailey is always on borrowed time w/that car!! Jeff tried to run it a cpl years ago & it was a mess then. Hope he can keep his car together & make some more good #'s. Lutz all the way hopefully this year. Guy works hard & plays even harder. Lots of jealous people out there talk junk here on the internet. If they even had a clue or knew the man/family they would think & talk a different tune. See ya, Ken Michalik
That car has been totally redone since Jeff tried to run it for Terzich. New motor, new wiring, new system. It was pretty trouble free last year and had a 6.70 average for the week. I would hardly call that borrowed time. The issue this year is just parts failure. It cracked a head through the bolt hole and into combustion chamber. No way to weld it. I left before they found the issue with block, but it is probably a cracked main web. That car still has a cast block and heads.........time for billet......LOL!!!
They are not really leaning on it at only 30lbs of boost. With a billet block, heads and 50lbs of boost, it would be much faster.
Jeff pushed a head gasket today. They fixed it and made a couple more passes. Saw them on the side of the road though and it was running hot. He thinks the pushed gasket may have collapsed radiator inside. Not sure what they were going to do.
As of 6:30pm Larson had NOT left Topeka........so not sure what issues they were having
