Hair spray or weather strip adhesive should stick it better

 

[Pro Stock John]

So what's with the current shorty? And who will assemble and balance the new one?

 

[Mook]

1000 mile block. And my buddy in Morris will be doing all the work. He's done everything else basically so far.

 

[Pro Stock John]

What went kerfuffle in the current shorty - And what caused it?

 

[Mook]

I'm guessing rings are toast in cylinder 1. I've been saying for awhile this motor is tired. I'm not really surprised, especially given the issues I had last year.

All parts are here, just gotta drop the motor off in January.

Let me know when you come down if I’m around I’ll grab lunch with you or something

 

[Pro Stock John]

Stock parts not up to the task or a tune or fueling issue?

Just tired. And I'm sure it's not totally unrelated to the mishap last year. It's whatever. Gave me an excuse to use the second block lol.

 

[Pro Stock John]

overboost?

 

[Mook]

No. Last year was a plug failing and an injector failing...all at once. Fixed that cylinder but looks like the motor was already hurt either before that or at the same time.

Like I said, no big deal. I'll see what the actual damage looks like once everything is apart.

 

[Mook]

I've been bitching for a long while that the car should be faster than it is. This makes a lot of sense now.

This thing should be a ripper next season, we doing a spring track day? I’d love to set more track days up I wouldn’t mind doing more of the planning for them if you need help Mook, maybe try 41 again I’ve herd good things but haven’t been since 2019

 

[Mook]

We're hoping to do one with GLD in the Spring, ya...but likely wont be a T&T. Dont know 100% yet.

Like a hat race rather than the normal track rental whatever goes like in the past?

Correct. We have to talk to GLD first tho. We have thoughts for the first event.

I thought the tnt events with the hat race in them went over well

 

[Mook]

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[1quick]

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I mean the turnout for the tnt was pretty good no? I just figured the interest would be much less for a competitive race with classes than just a tnt rental

 

[Mook]

We (meaning me and Nihad) were not at all happy with the quality of that event, tbh.

However, with MKE now moving to 41... We have thoughts ?

Golfs like yours with mods can go into the 10s?

I should already be into the 10s... Not running 11.2@126 over and over again.

 

[Mook]

I ran 11.0@126 last year on a slightly smaller turbo and went the same or slower on the bigger. My motor has been a sad little fella for awhile.
