Thanks for the info, M&M!

Rubber is meeting the road for the track today & I have car maintenance to do this afternoon. This is our annual Thanksgiving Bracket Nationals event & I have 6 races to run during the event.

Tomorrow is time runs & the Geezer Gambler race. Yes, I'm old enough to enter the Geezer deal.

2BKING is still racing very well but needs to tighten up a few things in strategy. Got 6 races to make it happen to close the season.

Rubber meets the track today!

2 time runs & the geezer gambler today. Should be a relaxing/fun day.

2BKING

Take it easy on the old dudes out there... Respect your elders... LOL

Got a 1st round win over an older elder!

2BKING

Out in the 2nd with a red, someone older than I is moving on.

qtrrcr goes to the finals of the Geezer Gambler race. Scott came up a little short but a great race. I was watching from the Duck Pond. He's definitely an old school racer & still a competitive elderly racer!

2BKING

Thurs. was a short day with a 1st round loss. I put down a good pass but my opponent was better!

I also found another problem I was having. I forgot to put in my expansion plug in my water/methanol tank. It messes with the tune pretty good.

I gave myself the Dumbazz of the day award!

Anyway, I have two races today. Hopefully my day goes better today.

2BKING

1st round win against an opponent playing stupid games & he got a stupid loss.

Bad thing is I picked up a hole in a header tube. I hate exhaust leaks, they sound like shyt! We patched it up with a double layer of coke can & a couple hose clamps.

Guess I have to make a trip to REF in Kingman AZ. for a new set.

2BKING

My son won the Sportsman Claaa with his F250!

I went out in the 5th round with a broken header tube & I think I hurt the engine also.

2BKING

You all are troopers. Enough bad luck for an army.

BKINGs bad luck rubbed off on me Saturday also, 1st pass everything fine, 2nd pass lost .05 at 60ft. 3rd pass lost another 3 at half track. 4th pass lost 3 tenths at the finish line. Convertors gone south. I will be a crew worker today on the other two cars.

Not the way I wanted to finish the season!

Fern, my son races his F250, it wasn't a substitute. He locks it 4-wheel high, goes in deep, cuts killer lights & the diesel is very consistent. He was racing well & I was doing well with an upset race car. The exhaust leak was on the O2 sensor side & was wreaking havoc with the EFI.

I really wanted to have a win with my son on the same day.

Here's the pic of the exhaust leak!

2BKING thinks the motor is fine.

^^^^^^ Wow. Do you use an EGT?

No EGT.

I have to pull the motor the get the headers out. I'm probably going to have this set repaired & have a new identical set built. I'll have the new set ceramic coated.

2BKING

^^^^^^ Consider having an EGT bung installed on one of the primary tubes.

What's the reasoning for this?

On methanol I found the reading change interesting depending the tune-up I was running.
