    Default New motor in #88

    Pinto boys, your instructor will be back with a new motor installed in the #88 this spring. Just fired it up yesterday. A little shakedown at Nelson's and LOOK OUT! Found a couple problems in the old motor. I'll explain that when I see you at the track. Will you guys be there for the school in April? If not , YOU SHOULD BE!

    Hey, glad to hear you got it sorted.
    Can I have the parts from your old one?
    I don’t know if l will make it out or not. Kyle might be there with a student/renter, hopefully in a new Pinto, then we’d have 4!

    You guys are building a cult following with those racing Pintos. I suggest you submit your stories to a publication like Grassroots Motorsports...
    Look forward to seeing y'all at Nelson or M-O this year.

    The Pintos are why the fans show up. I wish I was able to watch them, but I'm always grouped with them. After our races all anyone talks about is their epic battles.

    Jay, I'm tellin' ya. Some of the best racing I saw last year, anywhere, was when ITB got together with ITS. And the Pintos always figured to make things interesting.

    Maybe one of these years we can switch cars so that you'll have a chance to watch these guys...

    What a show it is! oh my. I make it a point to watch ITB every weekend in between my ITA sessions.:026:
    you should see how close they can get and even lean on each other a bit
    but it makes it all worth while!

    Hopefully we’ll make it this year. I had motor problems last year(35 lb valve spring=rev limiter). But I learned something: valve spring testing is not a step to be skipped.
    I don’t think the Pinto’s are going to be turning any 1:46’s though. Hmmm… or 1:47’s. But I’ve got high hopes for 1:48.

    Still have to do some work on #80 after last year's flange snap. :eek:
    (Mid-O turn 9 during the Autumn Classic handicap race)

    I'm shooting for a 1:49.999
    That would be .011 better than my best.

    I'll be flagging the school at Nelson for the school...Should be entertaining

    Pintos=Real SCCA racing excitement.
    Kyle, you should style yourself as IT's Intimidator. Whatwith all your talk about bump drafting and riding through the grass. I recall Dale Sr. used to be pretty good cutting the infield at Daytona while going 170 mph.
    Plus, you kinda look a bit like him.
    Look forward to seeing you guys at the tracks!
