ORSCA @ MMP .......

well went back to the track today .... and wow ...i give props to all you "real racers" because it was a hot summa biatch ....... 99* with good ole humidity ...... came home early

wish Mr. Anthony some luck he made it thru 1st round ...... and he is trying to slow her down every pass ....sucks when that happens in the heat ....5.30 heads up class

The last turbo car that I did an engine for besides ours went a little over 300 passes with the original owner and I pulled it apart to check it out and put it back together with the same gaskets just a little new silicone and the new owner is bracket racing with it now with an 88mm turbo as opposed to the 91.5mm that we raced it with. The only thing that we really ever change is the valve springs because of the high pressures that we run on them.

Derek went out 2nd round in the 5:30 class, he broke out with a 5.294 against a 5.304, Oh well maybe next time. We are in the process of braking in a new torque converter, Saturday evening was the first pass on the converter. We are still looking for the sweet spot with the new combo where the car will run consistant 5.30's every pass. I just wished that I could have been there to watch and help him this weekend as I am still making the Chemo treatment rounds.

HOPE YOU ARE FEELING BETTER !!!

Thanks Bruno, I finished up my fifth treatment last Saturday evening, must take a total of twelve. For some reason Sunday, Monday and Tuesday are the worst days after the treatments but once I get past Tuesday things start to get better just in time to go get the next treatment. I am so looking forward to mid-December when, hopefully, all of this will be over. God has been good to me and continues to bless me everyday!!!

Great hearing from you Bobby and I wish you the best sir
