I guess I know what you're doing every weekend this summer!
I hope a few weekends anyways
I really missed it last summer when the motor blew in July.
Hey, you want to travel or at least come out for a local event this year
(you can visit the lovely and exotic locations of oklahoma, texas, kansas, and nebraska if you want)

I promise not to force you to mix buckets of concrete... not even one!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) What do you do for fun then? All the plains hotspots. That's pretty tempting.

Danny,
definitely going to be at hpr
rmvr season opener is may 14th
come out and have lunch if you can make it... I've always got extra food and water around.
(I'm trying to get some travel in this summer and love ECR(texas) as well as Hallet(OK)... although nebraska is not as fun of a track as hpr, I love the event and the tom-foolery of the party, so hope to go to Nebraska too. Even trying to get accepted into the Corando Festival of Speed down in San Diego for the fall.

Mike,
seriously, if you ever want to take a 3-4 day weekend and travel with dad and I to an "exotic" locale your always welcome to come ride along

We re-scaled and recorner balanced after switching over to the magnesium case motor. We hoped to loose a few pounds by switching out of the aluminum case. It paid off, here is our new wet weight with 19quarts of oil and 4.5 gallons of gas on board.

I love that merged exhaust. Like the old 356 Sebring style ones.

Great story and pics! Would be a good book. Where, when will you run the car?

25 hours on my last tranny rebuild wasn't acceptable
I have been running the car with 2 drivers on the track and I think this is a big factor in my situation at altitude......

I don't believe I need to update the 901 yet as I am not ripping things apart like the big HP guys do with 901's

all signs point to heat
so I decided to add cooling
I just couldn 't find a location that had the air flow I wanted
I'm running a center exhaust now and that eliminated some cooler location options

I hate adding the weight, but hopefully it improves reliability
the weight is in the worse place too, so we kept everything as light as possible and as far forward on the chassis as we could.....
the pump is heavy, but the ducting up high weighs nearly nothing. The cooler is light too.

I considered heat shields next to exhaust and header locations and also didn't like things that close to exhaust heat.....

we really wanted the pump to self prime as overall that is a good thing, and we can avoid using a one way valve (one less thing to fail) So a low mounted pump became a priority for us. and also factored into the plumbing.

after much thought... I decided to go inside the trunk with duct work
the trunk offers me its own built in heat shielding
the down sides is that it requires the duct work.

dad and I hand built some aluminum ducts.. a scoop and a "hood" to disperse the air. the scoop really came out nice and it was all my father's work. too bad we don't have tig yet, but it still looks great with only rivets....

I added a gauge and sensor in the speedo drive location
we used a stock speedo aluminum piece by cutting off the top and bottom, gutting the seal, and tapping the center... it really came out nice and is in a good oil flow
I intend to pull the gauge after we verify the ducting (or possibly modify things if necessary) so the gauge is temp mounted in the cockpit and is extra weight that will go after 3-4 events prove it out.

anyway here are some pictures:

Where is the "scoop" located back there to give you more pressure in front of the cooler than behind it? Looks cool!

Good question. Approximately at the lower firewall, where the 4 cylinder turblance flaps would be. We will see if it gets enough airflow according to the gauge.

OT: Coronado in Sept? I had the family in SD on vacation Thursday (20th) evening in Coronado and pulled over quickly because I saw what appeared to be a "mini-car show" (BMW 2002's, 911, etc) and vintage race cars. After scrambling for a parking space, we rounded the street on foot to see them as they all roared off. It was a bummer for me and my son. The folks there said they were racing at Coronado (air field?) in the morning. Small world possibly, but were you there that "closed street" deal Thursday evening (about 5:00-6:00)? I understood that to be an autocross set-up. Had I known you or other teeners were there I would have come by Sat. AM. Bummer!

Just for the record: I have an understanding wife who encouraged me to go the next morning to the races but we were planning on heading back up to Newport Beach/Check out, etc. and I didn't feel like cramping the "family" schedule so I didn't go. I wish I had now...
