The S&E roadster (black #36) only made two passes at Speedweek before terminal problems set in. 

Did anyone get photos of the car leaving the starting line or on the course?

If so, please send a message to me at wbnash (at) msn.com

Thanks!

Talked to Al during tech and he mentioned the 4 banger motor.  How'd he do on those two runs and what wound up happening?

Way too rich on run #1, but all was good.  Al felt it really ran well.  Gearing was off.

So they bumped the percentage to 95 and gave it more timing.  There was an issue with the new fuel injection system and a cylinder leaned out and killed itself. 

All fixed now, new injection tweak, and a different gear ratio.  He'll be back at the World Finals.
