Here is the full release of the CLM Motorsports Ricky Silva's journey to WCF. Brought to you by E-Racer Productions and La Gallina Industries


October 10, 2012 at Englishtown Raceway Park CLM Motorsports was out testing the short track looking for improvements, after going 8.99 @ 173mph on a soft pass disaster happened, a fuel line came off on the return road causing the car to burst into flames, causing huge amounts of damage. After getting the car back to the shop and assessing the damage and costs and time left to fix the car and get it ready for the annual drag racing "Super Bowl" the World Cup Finals at MIR which was just 3 weeks away. Ricky was ready to pack it in for the season, but after a few motivational calls and a few sponsors offering some support.

Ricky and the CLM crew made the decision to fix it. Well 2 weeks into the rebuild, NJ was hit by Super Storm Sandy, leaving them with out power, while this would have stopped most people Ricky, the CLM team and Joel from Speed Theory Race Development kept at it with flash lights, working during the day with hand tools for 8 days, finally the they got a generator for the last 2 days. The car was finished at Midnight the night before WCF Qualifying, with a 5 hour drive to the track show up to the gates with no sleep, and they hope for the best. First pass the car ran 9.15 @ 173mph success ! All the hardwork paid off by the end of the event the car can a career best 8.87 @ 176.88mph.

Thanks to all of his sponsors

You guys worked hard all year! great job coming back! You still using 8 injectors after the fire?

E Town DSM

No it was only on 4 the whole season. Even when it caught fire the secondarys werent actually working just there. It was a fuel line that came off not an injector that caused the fire.
