Is Speed Factory attempting to replace it and make the call?

There was a car crash in the 2nd chance race thats taking some time to clean up if so perhaps it was bought them the time they need.

I hear SpeedFactory is replacing the motor? Any truth to it? If so they got a little time with the delay right now. Really wanna see that car run a number this weekend.

Hundreds of racers, its gonna happen. Cars being ran on the very brink of their limits, gonna happen. Its part of racing. Nobody can build bullet proof motors. Just the way it goes.

And yeah thats all you can do, but on the limits nothing is bulletproof. You can make something fairly bullet proof when its nowhere near the limits but still something can always happen. You just never know. Ive learned to just deal with that aspect throughout the years. If your not breaking stuff, your not pushing the limits.

And if you know James, he's not one to try n slow himself down. He's goes out each run with the intent of pushing the limits n settin records.
