Stanton Michigan

Surprise, Surprise. Our backup motor pushes the car down the track pretty well.

We qualified number 8 in stock, out of 58 cars.

Unfortunaly, in our first round of eliminations, the car did something to us that it done before..

It ran way too good. We ran a 10.11 on the brakes, with a top speed of 100 mph. 

So we lost a double breakout.

Now we have some time, and some parts will be in to shop this week, and other work is already underway, for our new engine. I won't say which engine we will run in Indy, 5.7, 6.1 or 6.4... We can run any one of these engine in A/SA and we will run A/SA in Indy.

And naturally, we want to win at Indy, so you can be sure that we will run whatever engine gives us the best chance of winning.

And as much as I like the idea of David vs the Goliath, the 5.7 doesn't have the kind of torque you get with a 6.4. The 6.1 isn't so bad either, if built right. And we know how to build these engines.

So wait for Indy August 31-September 5, 2011 and see what happens next.

God Bless, and Race Safely out there.
