Competed in Time Trial for the first time with NASA in October 2008 and set a track record in TTF at Autobahn full course
Competed again in NASA Time Trial in June and again set TTF track record at Grattan
Decided to compete in TTE to have more cars to compete with and got 1st place at Grattan.
Competed in TTE at Blackhawk (didn't even bother with TTF despite it being allowed/qualified for TTF) and got 3rd place Saturday and 2nd place sunday despite the missed shift and scattering the motor...


STAY TUNED


Canceled a few track days to allow weekend time to install replacement engine..

Goal of going back to Autobahn South Track July 18th and 19th with NASA and run in TTE or TTF (not sure which yet).

with the G20?

No..

The Sentra we have in the garage already caged shell from AZ will be the PTE car for W2W but this g20 will never make it to W2W status (IT will get sold as a street legal DE/TT track rat in spring is my guess once our sentra is track ready to be honest)

checked #1 bearing before dinner and it was fine..
and not #3 either....


We still suspect the oil pump and the tabs broken off from the overrev resulting in no oil pressure but we'll see....

In case I didn't mention it before, the oil was NOT silver (no evidence of spun bearings) when draining it...

Anyway.....

Here are photos for everyone to see:

#4 is bad.. spun bearing from over-rev.. so yeah.. the block is okay but not the crank.. stretched... done...

Well, we are getting closer to install time..

Today I picked up the resurfaced flywheel, fedex delivered a brand new clutch kit AND I picked up the engine:

well, had some work to do on the weld repair.. still working on it now but it'll be a nice repair and work nicely in the end...

It's amazing what weld repairs can do for broken mounts off engine blocks these days (and it helps to have a cousin at a machine shop who can weld aluminum):
