i have been looking for some good pics of the last couple laps of the ss race we need a good one of the 77 and 28 racing to put on our fridge in the shop let me know if there are some posted somewhere please Posted by: Wesley_Motorsports« on: July 08, 2010, 06:32:28 PM »thank you to everyone that is posting positive feedback about may father and the 33 team. That's unfortunate that Delaware didn't pay for your other costs - particularly if the engine is in full compliance. The officials should take this into account. I know many race tracks do. The only part I can see not being 'covered' would be a tranny seal - since that would not have anything to do with an engine pull in most cases. Oil should be changed on a regular basis - so I can see why they wouldn't necessarily pay for that. Tranny fluid - I'd say they owe you for that.

And Wesley_Motorsports you wrote "The cost to the race team is only their time to pull and reinstall the engine." This is in fact not true as the team lost $150 in engine oil $50 in tranny oil header gaskets on both sides a tranny seal on the input shaft. So to correct you it cost Sid around $300.

These guys work hard and do their homework, which make a winning combination.

Hes been nothing but help to me, any questions I've had, hes answered them, and tips or tricks, hes given me a fair bit (hes not going to give away all), he still takes his own time to come over to my shop, and give me a hand when I ask. He spends the time researching where it will help the truck or enduro go faster.

Posted by: Racing Habits« on: July 06, 2010, 10:22:07 AM »Laker 77 is a good example of hard work from wreck to front of the pack in 2weeks.
It was the hard work that did this a lot of guys would have come back about mid pack so you gotta give the Lake team a plus for the set up work it's not all motor. Posted by: LAKER77« on: July 06, 2010, 09:59:49 AM »And the motor Sid had for sale. Do you know if it was a crate or maybe it was one of his old built motors or maybe it was even one of his late model crate or built motors. Well said Steve as usual.
Posted by: Racing Habits« on: July 06, 2010, 09:55:25 AM »Much of what Steve says is true. I do not think you can say enough about the work that goes into a top running machine. Regardless of the motor Delaware is a bumpy track and does not present a good second groove. If you are not relentless in your weekly maintence program like I think the 33 truck is you fall. Paul is a good driver and takes advantage of where opponents are not doing their homework it can be that simple.
I am not one of his cheerleaders but respect the returns of hard work with efforts put forth. 33 truck seems to know how to work the track. Posted by: LMFAN« on: July 06, 2010, 09:19:45 AM »The crate program has done alot for the sport and will continue to do so.
It was brought in for a good reason and I believe that anyone messing with one should be thrown to the wolves. Does it happen? Yep. Has and is it happening in our own back yard? Probably. If thack choose to open up the crate motor of the competitor that is dominating in the fashion the 33 truck is? As a competitor they better. I need to know that I am on a level playing field thats what they were brought in for. That being said the track should be flipping the bill for gaskets if found legal. If illegal bye bye for atleast a year and not just the truck or car the team and the driver. I think 33 is getting a bad wrap here as well on some accounts. Paul is one hell of a driver Sid will do whatever it takes to win and the team will spend however many hours they need to for the top notch equipment out there. I have just one question for everyone out there that is complaining. Will you do the same? I know I won't I love racing and really enjoy doing it but I will not open my wallet to endless amounts and will not give up anymore time then I do for hobby racing its just not in me. I for one looked in the mirror and am very happy with how my team runs with the effort and money we put in. Lets just race and have fun with our friends because isn;t that what this is all about? Hobby racing should be about maximum fun.

So if they want to start opening them it cost them more money then they win. I think that team knows if u open a crate motor they are done at delaware so it s not worth it for the money or there rep. The rules stipulate that the track is responsible for the cost of resealing a crate motor if they are torn down and found in compliance. The cost to the race team is only their time to pull and reinstall the engine. If it's found to be illegal - then, at the track's elective they can confiscate the engine (only seen that happen in the U.S.) and at minimum, all points and monies won are lost, including any prior events. Some race tracks then suspend the team as one track did in Florida - for a year.
