NickHolt Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Pole-sitter J. R. Meredith ended up in the front straight wall at the drop of the green as several trucks diced for position. Meredith rejoined the field but retired early. Jim Albert led most of the race with Rusty Mirth glued to his bumper for the first 47 laps. With three laps to go, Mirth worked his way under Albert going down the back straight, made the pass stick and took the checkered over Albert. Nine trucks started the feature.

ivicic Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Nick, I know it's late and all, but can you explain this update to me. Mirth rejoins field but retires early. "Jim Albert led most of the race with Rusty Mirth glued to his bumper for the first 47 laps. With three laps to go, Mirth worked his way under Albert going down the back straight, made the pass stick and took the checkered over Mirth." Who took the checkered over Mirth?

NickHolt Posted May 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 My bad. I meant Meredith rejoined the field, not Mirth and, of course, Mirth won. I should have proof-read before hitting the post button. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanAugustus Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 something in the carb was inop. changed carb fixed problem. LOL only took all day to figure it out. sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_Malin Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 we had a bad miss after we took the carb to get it teched, must have got some trash in it or ripped a gasket. but it was hell trying to find where the miss was coming from. it sounded like an ignition miss but ruled that out after testing the whole system. we then brought the rpm up to where it was missing shot each header tube with a pyrometer and found out it was coming from #8 cylinder so we stock a bore scope in it but saw nothing wierd. we figured it might be coming from the carb so we tryed a different carb and the miss was gone. we finished about 10minutes before the race ranit across the scales put some wedge in it and went racing.

KISS_Racing Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Thanks Chad, I had told Sean I thought it was the carb(float level), but said it was a guess.... Congrats again! When Rusty went around Jim, half the stands from the flag stand to turn #1 started screamin'.... You would have thought Rusty was going to win Daytona... Good run to Jim also and also to that Truck #38... Who's that guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_Malin Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Rusty drove his butt off for that win. We made alot of changes and really didnt know what the truck was going to do during the race, guess it just started pushing later then the rest of them.
