Motor Swap
« on: October 06, 2008, 10:38:36 PM »
I would like to give out a big thanks to Jason Parkers crew #8, #28 crew of Roy wilkie and everyone else who lended a hand gettin the motor changed on the weekend( without a lift)
It was nice too see alot of people stop by and lend a hand or ask if we needed things after blowing up our motor just 8 laps of being on the track for the first time. We had it  all changed by ten pm that night and with just 15 laps of practice and a good setup ended salveging a 5th place finish with a flat left front tire. It was good racing and a fun track and will hope to see ya next year
Thanks
Andy Kamrath#35 LLM

How do you do that without a lift? You guys lifted it by hand?

Gotta be a good story there, lets hear.

Ya with one big pipe lol. We ran about 8 laps in practice before blowing up our motor for the weekend, snapped the crank in 3 pieces. When we were almost about to say forget it and load up and go home Jason Parker offered us to use one of his back up motors , so i had my brother run to parkers in port elgin and bring the motor down with him. While all that was going on we began to rip apart the old motor stripping everything for the swap to the new one, i began to look around for a lift and of course no one had one so Parker found a big long bar and we got 2 guys on each end and lifted her out and back in because we could not use the tow truckl  during race time. 10 pm that night she fired up had a few beers and called it a night practice the next day we blew a power steering line not lettin us out for the first one and the second one was just a quick 10 lap practiceso sending us into the future with not much to go by or experierce on the track thus being our first time there. We started the race in 16th and moved up to as high as third but slipped back to spots after having a tire go down with 10 laps to go after running over the 99's hood. Overall it was a good succesful weekend and I would like to thank Jason Parker and his crew Roy Wilkie and his Crew Vern Monk and everyone else who lended a hand.
