Not Ranked
Well the race weekend is over and the results aren't pretty. We had several good practice sessions but in the first race on Sat. we began to notice a little smoking coming from the new engine. 
Did some quick fixes and was ready to go out for the 2nd race of the day. Made 2 laps when we became a moving Mosquito Fogger. Brought the car in worked on it to get it ready for Sundays race when we discover some interesting clanking noises coming from the last cylinder on the drivers side. 
Packed it up and brought it home today.
Tomorrow we will place an "emergency call" in to our engine builder to try and determine what went wrong. 
I keep ya'll posted when we find out what went wrong. Car handled very well and did everything we had expected it to do with this one big exception.
