Mel Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Sorry Nick, was under a car most of the afternoon, I know the 9 truck broke something. I did see a few laps of a heat race b4 my last practice. Guess I'd never make it in journalism. Mel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandit Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Izy88 I feel your post reqiures a response. It was found during tech at a SAS event with a cam that was .015' to high on the lift, worth about 10 hp. And yes we did this on purpose, because the Fords (we did not have the option to change) were down 25-30hp on the dyno and ARTS would not do anything about it. They would say "we have a truck in Indiana that's winning". Where do you think I got that cam? Want to hear somthing else political, that cam was ground by an un-named engine builder in Indiana that was head of engine rule development for ARTS! Thats the first time I've told anybody that. With that said, my whole problem was with the FIRST series officials and ARTS rules, not Garret or any current officials. I have never had a problem with Garret and I wish he and Turn Key could could come to any agreement and not let the series split, it has potential. Ditto TXTOM.

Waco Racer Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Bandit, Were you allowed to run the GT-40P heads when this incident occured? Do you think that the GT-40P heads help the Fords? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzy88 Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Bandit, too bad the "BAD APPLES" of previous ARTS management screwed you. Good Luck in ROMCO this year! You gonna make the TMS race this year?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandit Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Waco Racer, we were not allowed to run the GT40s after the first season. On the dyno the Chevy and Ford were the same using the GT40 head. Izy88, we will not be at TMS, we hope to be going to Mobile, AL. I just can't afford to take that kind of chance with this good of a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
