Default Greasy: IFO prep from T1 & Miller

http://www.greasyblocks.com/2011/01/...-out/#more-869

A little info on the week and behind the scenes from both camps.

Would like to see more of this so any of you racers trying to show your process or behind the scenes with your setups and races send over an email and some info.

I love reading about those two.
There comments are always classic.
I wish the race would have happened though.

The interview they first try to do at the races with miller was epic. Miller looking at the camera, camera man saying I'm with Honda-tech, Miller saying f-honda-tech and walking away, priceless man, love it.

What didn't end up on there was that at 1pm or so on Saturday. After putting the trans in and running it through the gears, the car was idling and just died. An intake valve broke! Pulled the head, huge dent in the piston and the head was not repairable in the time frame we had. Called my machinist and had him bring my old head over since it was at his shop. Pulled the piston out, welded up the dent, slapped it back in and made it to Houston at 4am on Sunday. All knowing odds are it was going to be rained out. The things we do for racing... lol
