[Randal]

It's limited to 60 cars and well worth running. Or just come by to watch.

I got to see the aftermath of one buggy engine. I shoulda shot a photo. A valve was bent and cocked sideways where the top was exiting through the exhaust. It was nuts. They went through 3 engines. A record for them.

Congrats, Randal. You kicked butt. Nice job, guys.

What was the course temp?

What was the course temp?

Mornings it was high 70s low 80s. Afternoons it was high 80s perhaps 90? Hot enough that road was weeping tar and patches they put in started to fall apart. Very hot inside the car. Sun was very intense. There was a nice breeze that would come through occasionally though.

You dont hear it when cars pass at speed in videos but there was a ton of loose gravel on the course in places from patches falling apart from heat. I was taking sub optimal lines for my car to avoid gravel in places. Randal siad he couldnt feel it but all front engine rear drive guys were in agreement it was dang slipery in places.


2 to 3 blown motors is about average for buggy guys at a Hillclimb. I have seen them blow two in a day before. And they did more ugly pistons out of case type of exposions. I always know haow many are blown as I help them lift them out of trailer into work area. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
