Man, when you guy's break stuff, You really BREAK STUFF!!!!!!!!!! Sorry for your loss.

Jeah... One exhaust valve broke and then the piston and rod came through the wall... So, we lost a cylinder! Totally . That was in qualification run number three on Thursday and in about 1000ft. 6400 rpm and 1.55 bar of boost. Main reason is suspected to be too soft valve springs with boost. So, Jyrki and I have been trying to be just a little drunk ever since that happened... Two more days to go and then back home collecting money to build a new bottom end.

No casualties but Seppo and Jykä might have a mighty headache in tomorrow morning.I dont wanna spoil the official catastrophe report but there might be a couple of big holes in side of the block.

We lost today on the second elimination round as Jyrki broke his 9.01 dial in by 8.885 / 226 km/h run with 1.217 60 ft time. We struggeled all weekend with fuel and ignition maps and last run on saturday and first run on sunday went badly due poor and slippery track conditions after someone oiled the track. Here is the list of runs:

R/T -.003 60 ft 1.487 ET 9.467 speed 227.62 km/h

-.018 1.245 9.126 224.94

.039 1.337 9.616 216.43

.046 1.258 9.226 224.03

-.024 1.309 9.037 232.15

.039 1.353 9.281 223.65

.090 1.350 9.832 213.25 one boost pressure hose got loose and sliding on slippery track. Won this as other guy red lighted.

.406 1.217 8.885 226.17 lost due break out

So, not the weekend we wanted, but the car is still in one piece and it's good to go to next race on next thursday to sunday . We just have to get more ignition advance with 1.5 bar of boost to gain some more trap speed...

Thumbs up for the weekend. Tomorrow is first qualification day, saturday is another qualification day and then hopefully we will be in sundays eliminations too. I'm quite positive that we will go faster than 8.723 this weekend . But, there is always a chance for rain to ruin our weekend...

Good info WLJ. Thanks. In fact we have no check valves and that have not even came to my mind . But, this is learning all the time...
