HOME....Odd trip....a "detailed" account will follow in the next couple of episodes, a "rehash" as it were I couldnt dictate to Mandie on the road because I was driving like a madman....and when I wasnt I was to tired for more than a 1 or 2 liner on Class Racer.
We pulled out of Indy car wasnt running right, I think weve got a flaky injector (or 2) intermittenly low EGTs on 2 cylinders, changing plugs and coils had no effect, rotating injectors 1 cylinder did...it moved...the one single damm spare I didnt have on hand.....otherwise it would have gotten them....OR its possible some wiring got wet, I had it out and it started to come down yesterday.....
Met some awesome people....truly amazed people actually read or follow this....this blog was meant as my own record to print out later for and with the history of the car build, and its become something else.
I was floored at 4 DP's and I cant tell how many CJ's at Indy way cool.....Got to meet a bunch of people Ive only talked to on the phone and that was so very cool FINALLY....
Norwalk is probably next the car should be good by end of next week and instead of hitting Atlanta well probably just hit Norwalk since well be doing our testing there (45min away) and well.....I know the track, area, and nearest restrooms well.
5.7 has "its moments" we ran 11.5 at F weight on a tune that was the Old 6.1 tune. Well tear down tommorow and monday and see whats going on. And shell go back together and well well be good.....
Got enough "bits" to put another 6.1 together complete , and enough other "bits" for another 5.7 less pistons.
The old man is going to build one, he said first one to get done goes in next......Games on Old Man....Game On....
Mandie was AMAZING the whole trip, words cannot describe what she did for us and how much more pleasant she made the trip. BUT......Shell be Baaaaaaaaaaccccccccccckkkkkkkkk :)
Next step is to put her behind the wheel of something....Mandie dosent do "halfway" and I want to see if shes god mad skills behind a wheel.....so were gonna give that a shot to hopefully, she game.
She was incredible, if you saw her working, loading unloading, wrenching in the pits at Indy you know that......shes as sharp as they come.
Shes also a hell of an orgainzer (something if you have seen us in action know we are NOT) and well she said "Your gonna miss me tommorow" and looking around the shop and the cleanup from the tropical storm leading to our departure....yeah....MAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDDDIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE Come Backkkkkkkkkkkkkkk........
Tommorow Ill start a "recap" with pics kinda day or two at a time....a "serial" if you will of the last 2 weeks.
