Sorry to hear about your oil pressure problems green. One of my buddies had problems with oil pressure as well. I have been fighting carb problems for the past week, cant figure it out.

green,did you have anything done to the caps on that motor after you broke the 1st crank??

Line bore was redone but that was all.This is really going out there but am wondering if block webbing is letting go and possibly what cause other crank to crack by allowing it to flex.If we can't find anything I am gonna put my new crank in another block and build a 489,all I would need is pistons.

Green1,

Did you check the gauge? Switch oils?

This block had good oil pressure before I took it out:

Lets say it this way when I put the other motor in the problem goes away.There hasn't been any damage yet so I am trying to keep from wasting a lot of good parts.

Due to a disagreement with Quaker City management, the May 29th UMTR NORTH race has been canceled.

QCR was the scheduled location of UMTR's season opener.

Nothing on their site about it now and they still have QC on the schedule.

It probably takes a bit longer to update the various areas of UMTR's website.

Here is a direct link to the announcement that was posted yesterday. It is the first 'sticky' message topic.

Agreed!

While I hate to say I'm not surprised, I'm really not. With QCR's knack for alienating racers it was inevitable. On the flip side though, QCR isn't the first track UMTR has had a disagreement with and pulled out of, Magnolia also comes to mind so there is also a history of this with UMTR. I wish they would give more details so we could understand what really happened.
I ran with UMTR several times and had great experiences with them. I really enjoyed the show they put on.

Hey,
can anyone tell me more about this nostalgia outlaw I keep hearing about...web site? payout? when are the events and where?
thanks

Is the gamblers race during the day during the test and tune or after the test and tune?

It's usually after test and tune from prior experience. Typically the last run of the day.

andy, way to go. my blue oval army is large."POISON POWER TO THE DEATH"

How does the Gambler's Race work? Is it like dial for dollars?

It is just an all run race,box,nobox or foot feeder,all together.
