Well, it was one heck of many issues to deal with. Trailer tire blowing, 5 new ones installed. Then a valve stem on an outside dually wheel blew, it was flat when I went to fill up. 2 hrs later. Roll racing was new to me so I took it slow. Traction out the wazo with the new wheels an tires. 140mph, 150mph, 160mph, 157mph, then the dreaded 147mph. I missed 5th. On the lap around the track the car temp gauge spiked. Limped it back to the pits, coolant had came out the coolant reservoir. I had noticed it earlier and thought I may have over filled it. NOT!!!! It appears I was pushing a little coolant on every high boost run. I developed a air pocket. Car over heated. Bleed the system back and and took it for a drive. Temps are fine. I didn't kill the motor but it got dang hot 268 deg. It will have to come back out sometime in the future. At the moment it will stay on low boost until then.

Sounds like a very eventful weekend. :tup: Glad the car's not hurt.

Glad you and the car made it through the weekend. Big learning experience I bet.

Dealing with new tune/setup, new tires, first time track—- man you did good. Shifting three times from start to finish. Don’t think our 3.692 final gears are ideal for roll racing events either. Just being able to run that beast WOT at those top speeds was cool to watch I might add. Tires held their grip on that track too. You’ll no doubt do better/be faster next go around. Chit happens but that’s racing. You left Poconos with a lot more knowledge about the car then when you entered…and that’s a good thing.
