I run this race 2 years back for the 1st time. I was sick the whole time but enjoyed the event!

Wanted to run one of these races Tucson or Barona. Looks like Tucson faired a little better for getting the races done. Maybe next year for one of them.

Well the falcon is down for the count. I pulled the engine to replace motor mounts and track down an oil leak. Took the pan off to change the rear main seal and found the thrust bearing had failed and worn a .100" deep groove into the crank thrust face. A weld repair would cost as much as a new crank so here we go. Everything else still looks new.
I have a 289 under the bench that will go in to pinch hit until I can get the good engine back up and running.

Good thing you found it Dan! As for the 289. I'm sure it will pinch hit just fine.

Well, we are loading/hooking up tomorrow. Rubber meets the road & track Sat. morning. Taking the drag quad to the track for some testing. Hopefully everything goes without a hitch.
