MarK,
The oil on the outside of the engine came from the dip stick tube. When we opened the hood,
the dip stick was blown about 6 inches out of the tube and most of the oil was dripping over
the front and top of the passenger side of the engine. Must have built up some crank case pressure.
Here's one more shot of the car at the grid area with Rich talking to a course worker:

Maybe this was already mentioned, have not read every comment Why the 2.54 vs a 2:20? Just curious. With the 2:75 in my car, top speed is way out the window!

The short answer is the 90 comes with a 2.54. The long answer is that with the
horse power to rpm that the car is generating, I can go faster with the 2.54 then
with the 2.20. When I get more power, I'll swap in the 2.20 that's sitting in the
garage.

It was amazing to see what could be done with the Shark Tuner on Rachel's car (Tim's wife). Just curious.
I have a 2.54 in the garage I might save for some OB auto I pick up, someday.

It's still the same kit as Tim sold me in 2004. This was it's 9th open road race,
5th in 160 class. I was planning to get more power as soon as I addressed the
head gasket issue, I guess that's still the case

You know you're having fun when the dashed yellow lines start looking like a solid yellow line.
