Speier racing engines

This was Speier


Common story I’m hearing more and more. I can’t do it by myself. Im
Blessed that I can still handle race days by myself but getting motivated and getting loaded up for a long race weekend is really getting tough. Check out the rpm of this engine.



We got home late last night. Here is the good, bad, and bottom line..

GOOD:
*Truck worked great pulling the trailer.
*Car went straight as an arrow after all the work we did to lower the engine. Stable on the big end. It was actually fun!

BAD:
*WAY too hot and ugly out there. Everyone was reporting worst ever in 5 years and .20-.25 slower than normal.
*DOT race. ZERO track prep. So I didn't get crazy at the starting line. The entire day was about a license.
*I was fighting a gremlin through low gear. It was popping. But cleaned up in 2nd and 3rd.
*Car was only seeing 8300 through the lights. About 500 short. 5.67 gear, but like I said the starting line wasn't there. 1.46 60" is horrible and can't even tell anything with the track conditions.
*The gremlin caught up. The fuel pump went bad. Stopped working, so we loaded up. I have a fuel delivery issue. I don't think it's happy with the log on the carburetor. Make some calls and get it fixed.

BOTTOM LINE:
*It still ran under the 10.25 index with a 1.46 60', low gear miss, 8300 lights, and fuel issue. Track conditions, and worst weather ever. It has potential.
*I have some decisions to make. So far I haven't been able to find anyone who wants to go. I can't do it by myself. And my dad simply can't in the heat and health concerns. He wants to, just not good on him.
*If I can't find help, I will have a really nice Super Stocker for sale.
