Episode 042: Pike's Peak Car, Scotty's Rebuild, and Getting Faster


Listen Later

We took the Pike's Peak car to High Plains Raceway for a shakedown. The day didn't exactly go to plan, but we did learn some really important things.  One of the main ones being that a lot of the small things that you can do to make the car better, can make the car a lot faster.

Scotty is in the process of rebuilding his engine after having a catastrophic engine failure.  At this point, he is just starting to piece the car back together again, and he is in the middle of the decision process of what he can and can't re-use.  This coupled with balancing the wants and needs that you have to get an engine back together, and a budget that was not prepared for that level of failure makes for a lot of tough choices.

We also break down how much progress we have really made with the Pikes Peak car, and try to bring a little context to what those improvements amount to.  It turns out that making a lot of small improvements and not jumping down the obvious path of more power has landed us in a place where a seemingly unattainable lap time might just be attainable!

Thanks for listening and Stay Tuned!
