Hi Lloyd,
Now that would be a sight (and sound) to hear you coming out of the
chicane full throttle!!!!!

I went out to SIR today to get some seat time with ProFormance.
If you ever get the chance you should do this. They run the front
straight wide open (yes, toto, you can hit turn one doing in excess
of
120 MPH). There were more passing and let by zones. And smaller run
groups with more track time.
That was the good news and what I found out in the first session
and
last session of the day. I was coming out of turn 5a going into 5b
when then engine developed rod knock and I shut it down. If you use
AAA don't call them to tow from the track. Saturday, when Leif gets
back into town I'll find out what the damage is. The only way I can
think to make this better is when the motor is opened up turn it into
a 6 liter ....
Dang this hurts, I had another track day scheduled with the Porsche
club on saturday.
Bummer about the rod knock let us know what comes of it. Don't
forget, Mark A is running a 6.5 liter. You know once its open you
might as well.. Funny how easy it is to spend other peoples money ;-)
A couple of other thoughts, There is that guy in St Louis (cant
remember the name or web page --search the rennlist) He has complete
rebuilt GT motor with ported and polished heads for $4500. And if
you're really adventurous check out Sterling Gees page, he has lots
of ways to spend money!!!.
Anyway , hope it turns out OK.
Later,
Tom
