AMS pulled a TK at the Texas Mile today. Nobody hurt. Car’s a bit crispy.
Before:
After:
Juan is there now with Eddie Bello trying to sort out an ignition issue. Looks to be bad caps/rotors on his distributors for the twin plug setup. Ran 228 with the car pulling REALLY hard and the motor just cut out with lots of track left to go. Hopefully he get’s it sorted and running.
In the words on Juan “conrod out of block + hot oil = fire” so I’m guessing more damage than meets the eye. But yeah, car should be fixable pretty easy for the AMS guys.
Eddie Bello this morning. 964 issue sorted to one of his MSD D7 boxes. Turning up the boost to 32lbs, sub 1300-1400hp. OS Giken diff in the car too so hopefully he doesn’t spin at 230mph like last time.
Nut yes, but an AMESOME guy. Wicked cool to talk with. He went ~235.4mph this weekend. That was on street tires and with one of his MSD D7 ignition boxes on the fritz(guess that’s the ignition issue they were having). Officially the first car to run 230mph+ at two different texas mile tracks. That car has a lot left in it yet.
One thing to prove he’s a nutball, he’s the only guy running a car in that speed range without a chute…
