[Fot] Blackhawk Farms NOT a success

[Barr, Scott]

We had less success this weekend.  Chased a bad miss all weekend and
ultimately popped a pushrod loose, shaving a bunch of aluminum off of
the rocker.  Another rebuild on the way.

The upside is that it freed up a good coil for the Alexanders' efforts.
Great work, guys!  You looked very good out there.


Presently having my ass kicked by equipment,
Scott B.

 Our report...there should be more from others.

1st outing with new engine since failure at Topeka

Heat soaking a declining coil brought #197 in to the paddock after five
laps
for two of the races.

Replaced coil with one loaned by Scott Barr and it was gang busters for
the
one hour enduro.

Sean was down to 1:29 during the enduro and running consistent lap
times.

Notably......son Mark ran Blackhawk for the first time in almost 20
years and
has had limited track time anywhere since. He ran 1:33s immediately and
ran
1:31s as his best lap.   This is pretty impressive, methinks.  Mark's
back.....!!!

Lessons learned....20 year coil should have been replaced long ago. duh!

Father's Day had 9 Alexanders and three generations at the track and
frequent
FOT visitors to our paddock campsite.  Very cool!

New engine dry with superior engine assembly by Sean and Brendan....and
crankcase vacuum system. Looks like we are in the business of vintage
racing
with Brendan coming along in the next couple of years.

Now to focus on the AMBRO and the 10th Running of the Kastner Cup at
Road
Atlanta.

Joe, Sean, Mark, Brendan
