Indy - 08/31/22 09:15 PM

Well we decided to go to Indy. I'm probably not 100% ready but we'll give it a shot. We tested a lot over the past couple months with our race motor which probably wasn't the smartest thing to do but we felt we had to just to get the car straightened out. Everybody might not know but I switched back to the car that I crashed back in 2019. it took me 20 passes to get id sorted out but I could see the difference right away. It was 3 to 4 hundreds faster than the other car I was driving. Not 100% sure what it is about that other car but I'm assuming it's electrical. it gives me bad O2 information . It's very hard to tune a pro stock car when you're not getting good data. Years ago I ran pretty good with a lot less horsepower than I have now. so I'm pretty confident this car is fast it is also 30 pounds lighter.
The problem is I have worn out my race motor and didn't have time to freshen it up. I probably should sat this one out and got ready for maple Grove but as they say it's a big go. Unfortunately I also broke my backup motor on a dyno last week so we're short-handed.
I got all the parts to be a 100% ready for Maple Grove but I got a good feeling that we'll be just fine this weekend.
Come by and say hello if you're at indy. I'll see you there thanks for always supporting us we use it for motivation thank you

Thanks everyone. It didn't go that bad I had a chance in Q4 & Q5. Just to give you guys a idea what went on this weekend. No clutch Q1 witch made it blow the tires off when I put it in second. Q2 broke a lever in the trans. Still way light on clutch. Q3 made a ok run again way light on clutch. I started to think the clutch was going away because I added so much over 4 runs. Q5 put 2 new floaters in and I spun 2 grams off. We I had enough clutch for two cars now lol. The motor hung on but its down. It's been in both cars over 40 runs plus 40 dyno pulls. The first run I put on it in Pomona Q1 it had 22 inches of vacuum yesterday 12 inches. So I'll hone it and put a couple of dyno pulls on it and hope to run good at maple
