I had a mishap on the weekend. Will be invetigating the exact cause this weekend, but basically at the end of the front straight, there was loss of power and a puff of smoke from the RHS bonnet vents. I got towed in and the support crew(Andrew, Dave, Slim, etc) came over to help investigate.

We started removing plugs and found number 4 was black, 2 and 3 had a bit of coolant on them and number 1 looked like this....




The other guys said you could see the top of the rod through a hole in the piston.I couldn't bring myself to look at the time...

There's been a few theories floating around, blocked injector, cam timing(piston to valve clearance), detonation, dropped valve. It will be interesting to see what can be used again...

I've been looking at the results after Andrew had brought a few things to my attention and some of the drivers' efforts were very impressive... almost too good.

I am not going to specualte publicly, but there are a few glaring issues in the timing sheets which have been pointed out to AROCA, so stay tuned.

Wow, fantastic photos Gene! Love them

[SilverRA23]

Great photos Gene... would it be OK if I used a few in our car club newsletter this month?

[joey]

Awesome shots gene, any chance of getting some high res ones?

I can't see anything wrong with the drivers' efforts myself.

The only thing in the results that looks odd is that team Ultimate Challengers had a Nissan GTR R35 out there... Must have been one of those invisible ones as I certainly never saw it.

It wouldn't be a winton 6 hour if someone didn't suggest that a porsche driver was stretching the limits of the rules
