Well seem I’m
have one of those up and down years.
Started the season off with a studder miss and fart switched back to my
114 fuel and it seem to go away.. Ran with a little miss on Friday night
in Super stock but cleared up in Mod and ran strong down to the end of the
track. Placed 7th in both classes on Friday night. But for the most part
ShaZam was running great again; Sat. Night went to Bear Creek WI for a P.I.
Pull. I was the 7th truck to pull in the class with 9 trucks total. When I
pulled up to the sled the first place truck was sitting at 321‘ and the
2nd place truck was 304’. As I rolled it off the line I had to feather
the gas twice to get the tires to hook up. But by the 150’ mark I was
hooked and turning 7400 Rpm’s ran there for the most part the whole way
but just as the last stage hit, ShaZam lost a cylinder and stopped at
301.47’ good enough for 4th place. Had ShaZam pulled off the track back
to the trailer.
Just as I seem to get things running good again this happens. Pulled the
motor and pulled it down to see what went wrong. Seem I dropped the intake
valve and it bounded around a few times and then got stuffed into the seat
area. For the most part it was the best way to have dropped a valve,
minimal piston damage little bit of head work to fix what I boggered up
there. I sent the heads back to Charlie Evans to have him make them right
again. And replace what ever needs replacing.
