Re: Red Alert makes Super Chevy
Plans were to TNT both the Yenko Camaro and Red Alert Thursday at Memphis, then Friday morning head to Monmouth/LaHarpe. Instead, one of those nights. Started out OK, with me running a 10.60 @ 128 with a so-so 60', Rob did a couple of 12.30s, then the track really went South, zero traction. On top of that the Yenko developed a slight mis-fire, and I discovered low oil pressure in RA. On the way home the wires to the winch shorted out and as we unhooked the trailer we discovered one of the motors on the trailer legs had gone bad. Friday AM I drained the oil and cut the filter to check for damage. Discovered metal in the filter as well as needle bearings. At this point, we decided the motor needed to come out, which we did, so that is why I was not at LaHarpe. This morning I am headed to a local machine shop to see about getting the engine rebuilt.
