Greetings
to all our friends and race fans!!!
Well
the 2002 race season was not a very good one. We
had problems with the engine management computer, the
ignition timing would go to full retard at the top of
third gear on each of the first 3 runs. We made several
refinements to the program but with no success. We made
a test run on fuel which requires a complete different
program in the computer, hoping that change would give
us an idea where the problem might be. The result was
not good
same problem
only this time it caused
a back fire that blew the air back apart. That set fire
to the carburetor float bowls and away it went
lots
of fire
one of the float bowls melted. Then the
fuel pump emptied the fuel tank on to the fire
lots
of fire
as you can imagine the fire did a lot of
damage to the engine compartment. Terry was driving
and was not hurt, the total fire was contained in the
engine area. I guess we won't have to worry about getting
the computer fixed, its now just a blob of goo, take
a look at the pictures...
Anyway
with that behind us we can really say that we're
not salt virgins any more!
On
to bigger and better things!
Now
the good news
we are rebuilding the car from
end to end and we are going to run Blown Gas!!!! That's
right we're goin TURBO and its coming together nicely.
As the project moves along we will be adding new pictures
to the site.
So
stay tuned and think fast
things are looking
up.
Fast
Wishes,
Terry
and Don
