[Vegas69]

LOL! So we now know why your 69 is being sold! to build a race car! :D

This coming from the guy that would get smoked by my Grandma. :unibrow:

[FETorino]

On the dyno it must smell like an OUSCI invite waitin' to happen. :unibrow:

Yea now that they know you are building a car the invite should be in the mail that's the way it works for everybody right ? :_paranoid

:cheers:

[Flash68]

:cheers:

It's tough to make a 1st gen stand out these days for the big show... we're working on it and I'd be lying if I said didn't want an invite. :thumbsup:

[fleetus macmullitz]

It's tough to make a 1st gen stand out these days for the big show... we're working on it and I'd be lying if I said didn't want an invite. :thumbsup:

...and if received would automatically renew your lat-g man card another 5 years.

[sik68]

It's tough to make a 1st gen stand out these days for the big show...

Yeah it must be tough; so what's your angle, it has ford stripes, or everything on your car is a hand-me-down? :rofl: :cheers:

[James OLC]

Yeah it must be tough; so what's your angle, it has ford stripes, or everything on your car is a hand-me-down? :rofl: :cheers:

yeah... But some of those hand-me-downs have OUSCI experience... :unibrow:

[fleetus macmullitz]

yeah... But some of those hand-me-downs have OUSCI experience... :unibrow:

...so there will be no 'Braking Bad(ly). :D

[sik68]

yeah... But some of those hand-me-downs have OUSCI experience... :unibrow:

This is true! And be it known that I have a lot of DGs parts earmarked for when he eventually goes for the next round of upgrades...or is it too soon to say BMF2? :unibrow:

[Flash68]

Yeah it must be tough; so what's your angle, it has ford stripes, or everything on your car is a hand-me-down? :rofl: :cheers:

Those are both pretty good reasons . I love me some hand me downs. Susan and I buy almost everything these days at the flea markets. We're addicted. :D

yeah... But some of those hand-me-downs have OUSCI experience... :unibrow:

Pedigree, baby! :thumbsup:

...so there will be no 'Braking Bad(ly). :D

Is that related to Breaking Benjamin? :captain:

This is true! And be it known that I have a lot of DGs parts earmarked for when he eventually goes for the next round of upgrades...or is it too soon to say BMF2? :unibrow:

Man I hope I am getting toward the end of the upgrades with this phase... what's left? Tube chassis and acid dipped full fiberglass shell? :willy:

I am still on the fence about flares. I really really wanna do it but that's a big step. And you can't go back.

We'll be inspecting the Sb2 a little closer this week at Watson. Need to pull the pan off and send it back to seller anyway.

Tell me about it.

I'm getting my team in place now.

Rich Bermea @ Road Touring Customs is the General Contractor/Builder.

Jake Parrott @ Jake's Rod Shop is Chief Chassis and Suspension Tuning Officer

Brett Campbell @ Fab53 is my Special Projects and Skunkworks Specialist.

I think it's a pretty sweet team if I do say so myself. :unibrow:

http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff245/flash68/ap.jpg

Watson took the pan and filter off and saw some metal in the filter so they wanna take it all apart and clean it really good and fix a couple nicks and things. They don't think anything big is wrong but don't wanna throw it up on their dyno without knowing what's what. I can appreciate that and agree. Best guess is a lifter broke previously and was just not cleaned out that well afterward.

Yeah they mentioned that along with a lot of little things but nothing they felt were too bad or couldn't be fairly easily remedied.

The bearings looked pretty good.

Mike had to leave early for his 38th anniversary dinner or woulda pulled the VC's and inspected further. Next week.

I think the yard and house work is stabilized. Moving on to the car. :)

I have done a lot of research over the past year on fire suppression systems and finally landed on one. I chose this one for the following reasons:

more nozzles (6) than most (2-4 on average)
2 pull cables (many have just 1)
non toxic
cleans up easily with water (supposedly)
SCCA and FIA approved (standard equipment on Ferrari Challenge cars)

Thanks dude. I have been in a car that caught fire (luckily at low speed on the street) and it was not fun. This is a small price to pay in the grand scheme for added safety.

My little fuel ball incident had me wondering what and how could the firewall be breeched. Fuel, oil, engine drivetrain grenade, etc.

At speed airflow will force liquid and flame toward the firewall.

If the wall is breeched footwell nozzels wouldn't be a bad idea IMO. Would the potential mess created in the interior compartment make you think twice about discharging the system?

Is one enough to cover the fuel cell?

What scenerio's would compromise the fuel cell, rear end/brake failure, fuel line/pump, major impact??

Having a bottle system and a good hand-held for minor incidents has merrit.

Very interested in hearing the fire suppression options and reasons.

Sheet patches in the firewall will melt around 1100 degrees, steel at 2300 degrees.

All thoughts I have been going through over the past year.

Many systems just cover driver and engine. My cell has a 20 gauge steel container and my car has an aluminum (not sure of gauge) rear firewall.

Major rear impact or a rollover would be my biggest fear.

Still will have my 2.5 lb hand held behind my shifter.

And these fires reach what temp?

[GregWeld]

You need to put a fire out at it's SOURCE.... so where the fuel is...

That can be oil on a header if you're unfortunate to be up-side-down.... or fuel spilling out of the tank... from a breach... or a busted fuel line.

Or --- Give yourself enough time to wake your sorry ass up and get out of there!


I worked 3 years at Portland International Raceway (drags) and I've seen fires in all kinds of places.... and every time --- people would waste an extinguisher pointing at the flames -- when the source was under the car etc...


I'd be spraying an "automatic" system in the engine compartment -- and a couple in the driver area to give an exit... or give yourself enough cover time til the crews get there.

[Flash68]

^^ Absolutely. That's why I wanted maximum nozzles and 2 pull cables. Wanna hit every possible area.

1 pull cable for both the driver and a passenger and on or near the A pillars so a track worker or someone could pull it too.

And I'd think fires are under the hood so that's why I was thinking 3 nozzles there -- 1 over each header and maybe one to the carb/intake.

[badmatt]

for petrol based fuels: the highest expected consistent temperature should be somewhere around 900C (about 1650F) with fluctuations measured of up to 1250C (about 2280F). (out of one of my textbooks)

NHRA:9.3 ( I know, I know NHRA)

Nozzle placement is extremely important; two nozzles are placed at the front of the engine, one on each side, and one nozzle is located in the driver compartment near the steering column, minimum.

a decent starting guideline though.

Matt

[Sieg]

FWIW - In my situation a somewhat major fuel system leak ignited and lead to a pressurized oil leak that was sucked down the bell/trans tunnel.

I was going 60 mph max, at 120 with more fuel and oil it could have been interesting.

Good stuff Matt. Yep, another key is to not aim the driver nozzles too high toward your eyes or face (waist and below I've read).

That is def scary. I was only going about 30 or so when my engine fire started.

[Sieg]

That is def scary. I was only going about 30 or so when my engine fire started.
Wasn't that bad, but a major engine grenade and oil fire could be without proper preparation. Especially if you're unconscious and the safety workers are slow to respond. Factoring the scenerio's and precautionary measures is interesting and challenging.

F1 in the 60's :wow:

[GregWeld]

I love techin' at stuff like OUSCI.... only because the rules are so basic... and I keep thinking... 'cause I've seen it... that having a fire extinguisher 'on board' is just so friggin useless in 9 out of 10 cases.

Nobody knows where it is - the driver can't get out - unclip it - and he's freaking out about his car on fire... It's like UGH... The friggin' thing is mounted BEHIND the drive so you can't reach in from outside the car and get it and start fighting fire with it...

Ya need this stuff when you've wrecked -- and you're "in shock" -- and all of a sudden a friggin' fire has broken out!

This is one of those "rules" that says -- it's better to have it and not need it, than it is to need it and not have it.

The track stuff Charley and I have been doing - they make us wear proper clothing... gloves... helmets... shoes...

At the speeds we're going - most of the guys have fire suits - driving shoes - fireproof gloves... real helmets etc. ROLL BARS/CAGES.... Just sayin'. :cheers:

Yep. I have not been required anywhere to have most of this stuff but I am getting it and will be using it because it is the safer and smarter thing to do.

Just because ASCS says you don't need it (or sometimes do say you need it but then don't actually require it when you arrive) doesn't mean it's not a good idea.

Think about these things and make the best informed decision for yourself and your application.

After running Sonoma -- and having two MAJOR wrecks in my run group - a HANS device is something I've been thinking about adding. My helmet already has the connectors installed.

At Thunderhill it would be hard to get into a "sudden deceleration" event (hitting a wall)... but Sonoma is concrete walls and some blind corners where you could get into trouble with coolant on track or a spin out etc...

After seeing how much damage was done to the two cars coming off turn 6 @ Sonoma gets you thinking about this kind of stuff.... The brand new Shelby GT500 was smashed front and back. :faint:

It may not be a wall... It could be a spun car sitting on the track!! I can think of a 1000 good reasons to wear a head and neck restraint... Give me one valid reason NOT to wear one, You can't can you..... NOW GO GET A HEAD AND NECK RESTRAINT SYSTEM :thumbsup: :cheers:

Agreed, if not for yourself, do it for Lily.

If it wasn't for the Jerdawg bringing up HANS, very likely I wouldn't have paid any attention to what was on ESPN today on this subject.

It was an extended feature on Dale Jr. and what he is going through health wise due to the concussions. They also had in car video of the forces he encountered/what was going on with his head during the huge pile-up last weekend.

Not pretty.

[Flash68]

HANS is definitely on the "look into" list.... if this was a dedicated track car doing things every weekend I think that would seal it. But I plan to autoX and street drive as much as I can as well. We shall see.

Got a bucket load of parts from North Carolina coming in next week... can't wait.

It was hard for me to justify spending $700+ on something that won't make me go faster or win more. BUT I/you can't go fast or win if we're dead or paralyzed (knock on wood) :mad: Now come up with another stupid excuse

Towel racks? :_paranoid You made me spit up :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Flash68]

No, I am quite certain there's a Bed Bath n Beyond in my area. :willy:

Can't argue with that. We'll see. :)

It's the first gen Leatt mostly carbon composite and carbon fiber. It was $599 about 5 years ago. It took about 3 rides to get it adjusted properly and adapt to it, now I don't even notice it. There's been two incidents that I'm very glad I had it. If they don't save your life or paralysis they save you the pain of serious neck strain in an incident. :thumbsup:

I can confim this...11 years ago September I broke my back racing motocross. Spent 2 years in a wheelchair. I am one of the very very fortunate cases that regained some mobility and currently can get by with the assistance of a cane and the use of leg braces on both feet that allow me to walk short distances. I will never regain the use of my legs or feet from the knees down. So any and all safty precautions are worth the money.

Crazy what goes on inside of a race car during a crash

[Flash68]

It was a nice UPS day. 4 big boxes of goodies. :woot:

If Rob's 4 stages are good, 2 more have to be better. :lol:

That pan is a work of art.

[FETorino]

Complete with fancy Wiggins fittings.:hail:

[Flash68]

I thought I was getting a nice package of stuff, but all this stuff appears to be in GREAT used condition. Even better than I hoped. Another guy who was selling that exact same pan (it's a Hendricks pan) was asking the same price I got ALL this stuff for. Supposedly it's $8k new. :wow:

[momsnova]

What an awesome oiling system! Love the stealth cover for the pan, would be a shame to hide it. :thumbsup: Is that a Dailey pan or an in house Hendrix?

[Payton King]

Amost makes me want to do an SB2 or 18 degree motor

[GregWeld]

Man oh man.... this is going to be the explosion heard 'round the world!!



EEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAA



:thumbsup:

[intocarss]

Man oh man.... this is going to be the rumble heard 'round the world!!

:thumbsup: Fixed it for you. DUDE don't use the word "explosion" when discusing engines ;) Now go knock on wood :woot:

[Sieg]

Great looking components Dave! :thumbsup:

Now get it together!

Thanks. I love it. And I hear ya. Hide it (protect it) or show it off. Tough call. It is under the car I guess and not really seen once on.

Hendricks pan and a Weiss pump. I am having them run the serial number and they will give me the history on it. I may send it in and have them inspect and refreshen it. Their price is pretty reasonable to do it if necessary.

I'd like to hear more about your T101 502 Nova! :thumbsup:

Damn! That's some nice parts right there! Quite the bling! :drool:

No bling here. Only billet on this car is for strength and function - not show. :D

It sure does look nice though. Will be a shame to cover it up (protect it) with that aluminum cover but oh well.

[geberhard]

wow shiney shiney!!

After seeing this I want to toss my stuff out and start fresh!

Looks great DG.

[Matt@BOS]

Those are some nice looking parts. I will let my opinion on the red and blue fittings slide since this is a race car. :thumbsup:

[Flash68]

I will be having my mod status revoked and kicked off this forum soon I suspect.

Maybe you should flip yours and call my parts guy. :thumbsup:

I made a concerted effort a long time ago to not do the expected black and color matched fittings, etc. on this one. I did that on my last car. :)

Hey don't forget the purple Wiggins fittings too. :D

[Matt@BOS]

Hey don't forget the purple Wiggins fittings too. :D

Naturally, I will give the purple ones a pass.
