car spun off Track from that oil. This was my first ever laps at Lime Rock Park. Goal for the weekend was a sub

Lots of passing and being passed as we continued to learn the Track. Only managed to get a
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lh5o_hTS5X8&t=71s">1:11</a>.271 lap time. Not enough power on the straights although I make up lots of time/distance under braking and in the curves of Big Bend, Left-hander and the Right-hander<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Our Qualifying and weekend ended far too soon with the detonation of the motor on the Sam Posey Straight. The motor for this car was still being built so the motor and transmission from the BajaTriumph TR3
was swapped in to be used. That motor had probably close to 4,000 Race miles on it over the 7 years since it was built. Two Bajas, Three Kastner Cups (Pittsburgh, RoadAmerica and Sonoma) plus Laguna Seca and untold Track and Off-testing miles in Arizona. I've
included some in-car from Rick, Todd and Sean as they were behind me when the motor blew. From Todd's camera, if you jump to the
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P76ReudIyUI&t=470s">7:50</a> mark, you can see that he and Sean almost hit each other in Big Bend! Also added photos of the damage to the internals of the motor at the end.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
