Race Prep
I wanted to share with anyone interested my maintenance schedule between races. I am taking a break from getting my car ready for tomorrow and a test and tune session. Here is what I have done since Saturday's win at the
day race where the car took 5 passes down the track.
Down load and review data log
Changed oil and filter - stock mobil 1 and stock filter (cut open filter and inspect)
Drop oil pan, inspect oil pan, rod bearings
Changed tranmission fluid and transfer case fluid - AMSOIL 75-90 wt syntheitic
Boost leak test
Change sparg plugs read plugs and compression and leak down test
Nut and bolt entire chasis
Check tire pressure
In this case - everything checked out 100% perfect. Its better to be safe than sorry though - especially when going 144 mph !

No such word as "overmaintaining" when it comes to a Race vehicle.Hell,the only lives in danger when racing is the one behind the wheel and in other lane.I do the same thing on my race bike between races,cheap insurance
