The Pikes Peak car hits the track, and the little changes that make you a lot faster
For episode #42 of the Flatirons Syndicate Motorsports Podcast, Jon, Scotty and Dussex have a chat about some of their recent trips to the track.
First, we had just taken the Pikes Peak car to High Plains Raceway for the first time it far to long to shake it down, and get a sense of how much (if any) we had improved the car in terms of cooling and handling.
The day didn't exactly go to plan, but we did learn some really important things. One of the main ones being that a lot of the small things that you can do to make the car better, can make the car a lot faster.
Then, Scotty is in the process of re-building his engine after having a catastrophic engine failure. At this point, he is just starting to piece the car back together again, and he is in the middle of the decision process of what he can and can't re-use. This coupled with balancing the wants and needs that you have to get an engine back together, and a budget that was not prepared for that level of a failure makes for a lot of tough choices, and we dive into that.
And at the end, we break down how much progress we have really made with the Pikes Peak car, and try to bring a little context to what those improvements amount to. It turns out that making a lot of small improvements and not jumping down the obvious path of more power has landed us in a place where a seemingly unattainable lap time might just be attainable?
Thanks for watching and Stay Tuned!
