Gunter,

Thank you for asking. The motor was toast with damage to both cases, the craddle, the crank, several rods & pistons, etc. I have purchased a used engine as a re-build donor. Changes should include stronger rods, crank mods to improve oiling, etc.

If all goes well I should be back by the Triple Crown.

Cheers,

DAS

Duane: good to hear that you got a motor.
How much HP are you gonna get from those "stronger" mods?

No problem Chuck. It was great racing with you (nice and clean) and hope to be back on track shortly. BTW, the new motor will still be stock, just stronger, so I do think you need to worry. We would love to have you in a Cayman though, as we need to start building momentum toward a Cayman Spec series (CSR) here in a year or so.

Cheers,
