Great day. Good to see some familiar faces again. Spc should be fun this year. Did I see an Atom pop a motor?

Yup.Cracked #3 piston.I was really enjoying 300whp... . GM says not to push power levels over 300bhp. on the stock cast pistons.. I guess they were right... . Sure wish it would have held together a bit longer...but that's why we test! Now I have an excuse to do a proper motor.

So are you saying Atoms aren't allowed to run at the Test Days either?breakaway500 wrote:Yup.Cracked #3 piston.I was really enjoying 300whp... .

Not when they are killing all the mosquitos..
It was actually an asset having an open wheel car for the test sessions, as they separate the two groups..(open and closed wheel cars) and there were only three others in the open run group. There was a very nice brand new Van Dieman Formula Enterprise there! I would have to loose about 100lbs and a foot of height to fit in it,though..
