The next race is coming up :)

Yes...its been quite some time since i had the oppurtunity to update
the blog, but actually there has been a lot of developments since the last
race in NHMS.

Since we fried the engine only a few hours away from capturing our
first victory as a team last race, the majority of the team spent
most of their weekends getting in a new engine from the parts car
that was bought some time ago incase we ever needed it...smart move
on buying that other crap-can fox guys :)

Here is our Craptain working on setting up the install for
the new engine :)

It sucked i couldn't be there with the guys to help out during the
engine swap but a 8 hour round trip drive and the fact that I lack
in mechanical skills, i had nothing to offer then just moral support...

Initial tests of the new engine (on closed course, closed to traffic :P)
hinted that we had more horsepower! This can be explained by the fact that
the old engine proabbly had 150k miles + 4 races under its belt, while i
think this engine is under <60k miles (although not sure)

So new engine = more horsepower, but it can also bring some negative
suprises during the race weekend, as it has not been tested under
stresfull conditions. But i think we will try to do the practice session
on friday to see how the engine behaves..

Practice i think will be important as-well for the team, as the race
will be on Shenandoah Circuit @ Summit Point Motorsports Park which we have
never raced on. It is supposed to be one of the popular lemons tracks
( in meaning a lot of traffic) and a very technical track...

It also sucks that although we have the other tracks scanned from Summit in Iracing
we seem to have this one missing... I had used NHMS Iracing version
effectively in the previous race, but looks like all I have is a few
youtube videos to learn the track this time..

I'll have more updates after the race next week and hopefully some great
news!
