2002 Configuration

After twelve years of tinkering, we started racing with a moderately restored, full interior classic

But, a classic wasn't fast enough....

First catastrophic failure of the season

We bent a valve on May 31, 2003, due to "coil bind".  Fortunately, this was the only bent valve and we sustained no cylinder or piston damage.  We also experienced transmission failure in August, but managed to finish a respectable 14th for the season.

We are looking for a higher quality video camera, but for now I have included one of my favorites.  Amanda is doing the recording and at the end she says "Go Mom". (QuickTime 2.81MB file)

The second video is the view from the starting line.  It is a time run from a day that the transmission was failing, so the time is and 11.21.  (Windows Media Player 8.34MB file)
