Turbo M42 at PIR
« on: October 09, 2008, 12:21:54 PM »
We had a challenging weekend. It started when we blew a head gasket after pulling on to the track for the first practice session on Saturday.

Our welding guy had done some work on our exhaust manifold. He ended up taking some stuff apart to get the welding done. We checked his work but missed the fact that he hooked the wastegate up wrong.

We managed to replace the head gasket in about 5 hours in time to make the Saturday race.

This is video of the Sunday race.

More detail -- we put the car on the track on Sat for the first practice session (8:20am) and we blew the head gasket.  At 9:45am we started the head gasket job.  

We completed the job in time for the 3:30pm race.
