N2: Engine Reliability

2 posts by 2 people · 17 Apr 1997 - 19 Apr 1997

Hi all, Talk about being born under a bad sign. During the last *five* consecutive races I have lost my engine. None of my race setups abuse the engine. I've even tweaked them to not have the warning light come on. The most RPMs I turn is around 8500. Has anyone else had a string of luck worse than this? It might make me feel better.<G> Wouldn't it be great if you could hire and fire different engine builders? At this stage of things I would show my current builder the door and would be offering Robert Yates about five million dollars to build for me. <G> Have fun turning left, --
Hi Barry I must have been born under the same sign because my NCR2 season (of 50% races) has gone as follows: Rockingham 1st Richmond 14th Atlanta 1st(with oil press reading 20psi) Darlington 1st Bristol 1st North Wilkesboro 1st Martinsville DNF(engine) Talladega DNF(engine) Sears Point 1st C***te DNF (engine) Dover DNF(engine) Pocono 1st Michigan 23rd Although the engine failure at Martinsville was due to happen, the rest dropped me from a 150 point lead to a 60 point deficit. The biggest disappointment was over where I had fought from spins, crashes and starting 30th to lead dominately when on lap 150, then engine blew. I think it may be a bug :-) -- Glenn Beaumaris ----------------- "I Believe in God-After All Helen Hunt exists" HELEN HUNT: COOL "The day I got to hand over my tank top to the stunt woman on Twister."
