What took you out of V2R?

[george.felix]

With so many cars entered and few finished thought it might be interesting to know what ended it for you.

1958 lost a rear axle limped into pit 4 where we changed drivers and fueled. Lost the bearing I think on the clutch output shaft and sheared off the sway bar mount at rm 191.

Here is what I know

#1993 broke the front end (heard A-Arm broke apart)
#1913 had overheating issues (lots of those on the course), then ran out of fuel around 457 (did finish, but took out of top 5 class finish)
#1905 broke inner CV off inside tranny, 2 more axles,and then 2 spindles (last spindle took them out)
#1964 rolled the car around RM100, then had the steering fail around RM350
#1934 camshaft snapped

We (S3 Racing 1978) had overheating issues during the beginning of the race and then about RM450 we hit a washout only doing 10-15mph but we hit so hard it pushed the skid plate into the trans breaking the drain plug...ultimately this was our demise and made it to RM526 where the trans came loose!

Saw a lot of cars rolled but not us this time. There were a lot of cars running strange.....Villarreal passed us like we were standing still early and I think they started way back then less than a mile he's pulled off never saw him again. Vogel 1992? Passed us at least a dozen times then slowed down then speed up and slow down something going on there. 1919 same thing we were running at 85% power and they were behind us w 20ft wide road to pass but couldn't do it for several miles so something wasn't right. We took a turn wide to let em by but they seem to lack hp so we took it back right away until the dry lake when we went way too wide. Glad to see they got it figured out and finished top 5?

Such a bummer, you guys were so close! Keyboard spectating and watching your car just sit there was tough!

Why do you think jagged has any more power on a stock motor than you do?

Because I didn't feel the clutching was right on our car. Second we were on a wide silty road and I figured Brandon was/is a better driver than me and I wasn't pinned. I just didn't want to roll the car. I think everyone knows I've rolled a few times and it's always been on that kind of section.....straight, fast, but a little silty.

Camshaft snapped? Hmm that is a new one for me.

Crazy! never would expect that kind of failure.

Just goes to show anything can happen when racing.

They were kicking butt, but when we passed then in the dark it looked like they were changing an axle or something.

Who was driving the Yancey car?

 

[Mike L]

1948 out at pit 12 with a blown motor...

 

[motive]

Yancey's car had rod end failures several times on the rear radius rods. They were able to use rod ends from the sway bar links I believe to keep going. They did finish but lost a lot of positions with all the repairs. Yancey drove the first half. Not sure if it was Derrek or someone else that brought it in for the finish.

Yeah George I was going back and forth way too much. Haha. We were having tons issues from right off the start. I got a flat right out of pit 1, and was going to swap it at pit two until I got there and realized my guys completely missed it and went to 3. So headed out of 2, I only had a flat in my rack and no back up. Nailed a rock out of a berm pretty good about RM75 and blew the sidewall on my front left, had to drive on it for about 20 miles to pit three. And along the way got another flat from sliding with not much control from the front flat. So due to two flats on the car going thru deep silt, the car was just getting way too hot and going into limp mode. Finally made it to pit 3 way behind and got everything changed out and cooled down. Then seemed to be fine until we blew the motor at about RM140 by the dry lake bed.
