We have one of the highest funded Formula SAE public university teams in the country - nobody other than the director really knows how much, but I've heard rumors of $500,000 + per year goes into the program from various outside donors. Basically puts us int he same bracket as Purdue, USC, and a...

Dude, I basically WORK THERE and I still have only a minimum understanding of the layout. This has been the talk of campus since it was announced. Nobody at the top is saying anything, but everybody agrees the Institution of Higher Education has to be involved at some levels. Also, the pit...

Something I just thought about. Our campus at Institution of Higher Education is a very broad population of nationalities. There are ALOT of Futbol and Formula 1 fans in the student body, plus we are a dominant Formula SAE school. As such, I wonder if this is a Roger Penske attempt to snag up a...

Suarez, NASCAR, and Cindric's spotter for not telling him to drag the brake

6.5 . It is what it is.

Just heard about this today like everybody else. The Institution of Higher Education that I work at has to be involved in some way - the logistics just don't work out otherwise, considering we share alot of space in the business district and have tight alliances with AT&T Stadium and Globe Life...

Cleetus McFarland (Garret Mitchell) is working operations in Asheville with the Motion Raceworks/Freedom Factory helicopter.

The shreveport TV station did a little clip on our trip. Video is better than the article. https://www.ktbs.com/news/1-150-mile-street-car-race-puts-drivers-to-the-test/article_a3915868-792c-11ef-9e7e-13048a4ff555.html

For the fourth consecutive year, I have a Certified Street Truck. Rocky Mountain Race Week 2.0 (Race Week) was not easy, but we survived. Might as well have been Hell Week. Album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/MCEZjPJUgqbrVAFP9 There are alot more photos there than I am sharing here, since I'm...

Doug Kalitta has DNQ's at the US Nationals. The Defending Series Champion and #1 in points did not make the field. This is huge news.

I'll take this from here...

@2 Sweet those are great photos...I'd love to be near (in?!) a big body of water that did not have sharks, jellyfish, stingrays, and other such critters in it.... @sdj they load for me and others, I'm wondering if the website is blocked for you for some reason. 2Sweet is hosting them on...

OK, that's funny. I kinda wanna post this outside my office at the school...

It's harder when you are pushing the ragged edge of what you should be doing with a given platform. The stock engine block is known to have "cap walk" around 650-700 HP, so I have a girdle that locks all the main caps together so they all walk the same/share the load, and I also have the block...

So after that outing, I went ahead and did a full inspection on the engine since it's slower than it should be. The borescope showed that several cylinders have oil ingress, but only enough to show puddling, not enough to cake the top of the pistons, at least yet. I also ran a compression check...

You'll like having full time rear camera. I'm trying to get it set up on my trailer - mostly for backing up but also for being able to see what's behind me. Half tons weren't designed to tow 7,000 pounds in the power or visibility departments.

Dad goes by Richard's shop fairly frequently (works in OKC twice a month). And I agree, he wouldn't put that capital in unless 1) He bought a used rig set up for nitro cars on the "cheap" or 2) He bought new haulers with quite the promissory "thank you" note from a "non profit" in exchange for a...

Been a minute since I updated this thread, so let me get ya'll caught up. We've taken the S-10 out a few times. Got down to 3 cars in our first real race attempt, but the GRID ignition is not a fan of what we're trying to do. Very inconsistent. It also runs hot - PST's were intended to be towed...

A big issue with Class A's is engine fire. There have been SEVERAL (think dozens) of class-A engine fires in the racing community in the last few years. Being rear engine, you don't know there's a fire until it's wayyyy too late. Many RV motorhome fires are either electrical or engine (rubber...

Only thing I'd miss on the 5er for downsizing is the outdoor kitchen and the 3/4-size fridge instead of 1/2 size. Make sure you get the electric over hydraulic brake kit for the jeep if you're going to flat-tow it. It makes a huge difference...
