Gotta say the car looks better without those flares, nice and clean looking now.


BTW are you running the 4.3 final drive or the 4.1?

I just wish it would not require so much work to remove the rears. The radial slicks are so much skinnier I no longer need them.

4.3 is in the car now. I could certainly use something closer to 4.1 for the 2015 Runoffs at Daytona. At least I have almost two years to find one.

Man was it hot at Buttonwillow, in the upper 90s both days, wearing a black drivers suit makes it absolutely brutal.

There were a total of four cars in HP, and about 23 in our run group. My only plan for this event was to make sure everything was good with the old Bestwick engine that I just installed, so I did not push it real hard, the engine ran like a champ. I took the HP win both days, putting the rest of the HP cars a lap down on Sunday, and ran .5sec faster than last year.



On the list of things I should have done years ago... I have had a box full of sensors for my AiM MXL dash just collecting dust for the last three years. I picked up a Micro Image Oil Sandwich Adaptor, it has three 1/8" NPT ports, which allowed me to easily hook up my oil pressure and oil temp sensors.
This made it super easy to hook up, fit perfect, and no leaks. Oil pressure was solid throughout the race, and the highest oil temp I saw was 238f. Considering how hot it was, and we are spinning this engine to 7300rpm, I was happy to see the oil under 250f. Happy that I don't need to install an oil cooler, but in the future for these summer races I may switch from XP1 Driven Race Oil (5W-20) to XP3 (10W-30) just to give myself a little more cushion.



One of the fun things Cal Club does with this event is Saturday movie night. They had a great Taco bar and showed Cars 2 on the side of a transporter.
