Bad news for Fisches, good news for fishes
10th April: Received the following from Paul Fischer:
We smacked our "good" Walt Austin heads at Last month's test session. (1) The valve seats were not fitted well and moved when the valves hit them. (2) That increased the installed valve heights and lowered the spring pressures. (3) That caused the valves to float at high (ish) revs. (4) That reduced the pistons to valve clearances....... Get the picture? We'll be rebuilding them in the UK. We'll be running our spare heads for the Thunderball but they are not port matched to the manifold - that means the air won't flow as freely - that means we won't be running too quick. Damn! But I did win a tenner from Camelot last night.Never mind, Paul. As I sit here watching the rain wash away the snow, I get the feeling that the fastest run we're going to see this weekend will be from the sweeper truck.
Thunderball Top Alcohol Entries
3rd April: We're in for some explosive action at the Thunderball, judging by the TA entry list. See for yourself at the European Top Alcohol Racers Association web site. (Look for "Preview of next race")
