By the time I bought it - it was already a 10 year old track car - it’s now 20 year old track car.... guess what.... stuff on track cars wears out - breaks - squeaks - needs updating and needs lots of maintenance.... You won’t necessarily know what that is - unless you’re disassembling and checking - and looking for potential problems.... That’s what we did at the NASCAR shop... LOOKED for problems. We found plenty —- as was expected! The car was updated and it was a massive improvement. Big deal. That IS what we do around here.

I think the only reason it was done and done right - was because of the shop! These were top pros that knew what they were doing....

If you run your car on the track you need to look
at things as Greg says they do wear out, loosen up,break,
etc. Not sure how many times I was going thru my
basic check the pads, change the oil, new plugs, run
the valves, new air filter etc before I go to the track that
something else was loose or just getting ready to break etc

Your life and others can be effected running at the speeds
you do on a track and things need to be maintained and checked
Hell Nascar only runs a lot of their things one time and discards
it but they are trying to win a title.. no big pay days for us other
than have a safe day at the track

I got a good laugh today —- the car is out being tested and tuned at Las Vegas Motor Speedway — thanks to the talents and GOOD PEOPLE at Speedtech working so hard on this project!

Jay Weir is wheeling — and so far today there’s more laps on the car by NOON than the other idiot could muster in 3 full days at the track.

Everything working as it should — ZERO ISSUES.... A small shock adjustment for mid corner..... tire pressures dialed in — all coolers and pumps working and holding temps right where they should be.

Hey SUTTON you dumbass..... this could have been you. LOL but you blew your wad. What a little putz.

Whoa whoa wait a minute .. like not having to return to the pits after each lap .. no oil being sprayed everywhere...?

But if it’s not spraying oil all over the bottom how are you going to stop it from rusting?

Love seeing this car back on its feet

Can you imagine!!! LOL

No oil anywhere — not overheating — stops — turns — no folding taco arm BS — shocks right - wiring right - plumbing right - all electronics talking and V-Box working.... Wait —- that sounds like Old Yellar!!! LOL

Best of all —- not a single shred of Ron Sutton.... nothing. Nada. Zip. Like the whole car got dipped in bleach.... and then got a brake cleaner enema.

If it’s not spraying oil anymore now you are going to have to eventually change the oil instead of adding it to the previous automatic oil changing system
