Re: Autocross Dragway 42 Sun, Nov 5, 2023
NOTES FOR NEXT TIME: I started the sessions with just over a half tank of gas and by my 5th run, started to notice that the fuel was splashing so much that I was already started to lose power on a couple parts of the track, so now when I leave home, I will make sure the tank is full. I remember tha...

first turbo pass!
After the failed T-n-T at Kuhnle, I dug into it again. I got the exhaust pipes near the turbo wrapped with good header wrap. Now I can run it comfortably with the hood on. I also removed and cleaned up with the water neck/upper hose, as there was a persistent drip coming from there when it would war...

Re: 1979 Malibu
So there's been a bunch of happenings/progress that I haven't gotten around to posting about until now.. including the first drives around the block, and (spoiler) an unsuccessful first test-n-tune at Thompson. First test drive.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiyHsOcMkFg Chris and I thought the cl...

Re: 2023 Kuhnle Motorsports Park Wednesday nights
Well, it was the last Wednesday of the season and we had great weather for racing. There was a ton of cars and friends out tonight. When they made the call for Stock class, it was 5 lanes! I went out on a mission tonight to try and bring home a trophy. Ive been really solid on the tree lately, but l...

Re: 2023 Kuhnle Motorsports Park Wednesday nights
I have to add one more pic.. this was from last week, just a time run, but i beat Paul on the tree. No small feat. But since his trophy collection dwarfs mine, i gotta collect my little victories where i can!
Looking forward to the season finale tomorrow night!

Re: 2023 Kuhnle Motorsports Park Wednesday nights
Wow, we've been out the past two Wednesdays and didn't write anything up. 9/13: This was my first time out with the Chevelle in quite a while between all the rain and the work on the Porsche. And my first pass turned out to be my best ever, 12.16 @ 110.28 !! Reaction.....60 ft.......ET..........Spee...

Re: Software Update
Registration has been opened up and the challenge questions to stop the spambots have been changed also. It was encouraged to use questions which were not easily found on Google, so the two questions are: What's the nickname of the orange turbo malibu? What's our road race team name? They only need ...

Re: Porsche 944 Megasquirt conversion
BTW, Scott's friend Jason, who sponsors the team via his company, has told Scott to get 2 (!!) more 3.0-S2 engines.

Re: Porsche 944 Megasquirt conversion
No, the correct answer will be to figure out how to use the factory crank sensor back by the bellhousing. That will eliminate this bracket all together. That bracket might be nice for street use, but is not positioned well for an endurance racecar, IMO. Scott only sent me a little 10-second video of...

Re: 2014 Ford F-150
~81,000 miles A couple weeks ago, I started getting a bad/weird vibration in the Tiresmoke TurboTruck while taking the dog to the vet. It was bad enough that I pulled over to see if there was a big stone stuck in the treads or something. Didn't find anything. I made it home with only minor vibration...

Re: Porsche 944 Megasquirt conversion
Well, Mid-Ohio is in the books. Hindsight is 20/20, and we should've waited for a trackday to shake it down. We got to the track on Friday morning for practice. While warming the car up, I noticed the alternator wasn't charging. It was a brand new alternator that Scott had installed between the time...

Re: 1987 Corvette Z52
Paul sent me a couple videos on my phone and It. Is. Hilarious. It looks like a lot of fun.
Maybe Fred needs to drive it -- just to ensure all the drivers are wearing cowboy boots!
