Thursday the motor suffered a failure at the hands of what is believed to be centane related the diesel is very different and apparently it is a a big deal for this motor. Our diesel is 48 centane where their diesel is 65, ours is relatively clear out of the pump and theirs looks like coke a cola!!!
They have compensated with additive and adjusted tuning,
The idea is that the lower centane fuel in the first motor combusted too early and caused the engine damage.
The team will make AT LEAST one guaranteed full throttle 100% everything pass after the first round of eliminations tomorrow.
I say at least one because of the weather and issues with the car afterwards.
If everything survives this all out pass then we will try for additional passes and possibly some heads up racing.
We are already planning for next year!!!!!
Come by and see us!
BTW there is now a Comp D sticker on the truck thanks to TravisG
The only goals of the team were to obtain the racing licensing and make a single full power no holds barred passes to obtain a US Timeslip showing what they are capable of. Anything after that is just a bonus
