Re: I have a few questions?
I went through teardown once. I was able to help with tearing the motor apart, retrieving tools, draining fuel, taking things to the tech trailer. When we were done we had a box of parts that needed to go back on or in the motor. Nothing I could do then but watch! Thank you, Don!! lol

Re: I have a few questions?
The randomness, terror and fear and loathing associated with teardown are a BIG difference between class racing and those that sneer "it's just a bracket race"

Re: I have a few questions?
My brothers first time at Indy several years ago with a 400 Chevy he got to pull a head, a piston and rod (which required pulling the engine before the cross member was "fixed" for removal of the pan) and the Q jet was left in pieces after inspection. and the part number was requested off the crankshaft. I was afraid they might be checking prostates too! Thank God they didn't take it that far lol!! Don Jackson

Re: I have a few questions?
After watching the Teardown Video,I may rethink my direction.You have some dedicated racers.Bad enough you Travel,Unload,Reload,Time Trials,Racing,Teardowns,then packup and go home.Get home and chase Horsepower.Im not sure I have the energy for this.Bracket Racing I thought was hard.Thats a walk in the park compared to Class Racing.My Hats off you these Guys and Gals.

Re: I have a few questions?
Sox Most of the tear downs happen at Indy or setting a record. If you hit the Lucas oil races or most of the other National's it's rare to have to pull a head. It's not fun to do but it's a good feeling once your done. And as others have said there is a good bunch of guys that do this and would be more than willing to help. And yes I have been threw to many times. Barry
