Another Random Failure at the Runoffs After doing so well at our last race at Grattan and even setting a new track record, we thought we were ready for the Runoffs. However, we forgot, IT WAS THE RUNOFFS. We havent had much luck there in the last 10 years. Yes, 10 frigging years!! 2016 at Mid ohio - perfect position to win, and they stopped the race. 2017 at Indy - the car didnt run well 2019 at VIR - blown engine, put in spare, flat tire while in 3rd 2020 at RdAm - blown engine while way out in lead, oil pump fails 2021 at Indy - stops raining while we are way out in lead on rain tires 2022 at VIR - way out in lead, coils come loose due to hit at start so lose power and passed on last lap 2023 at VIR - way out in lead, full course yellow, get drafted and passed in last corner 2024 at RdAm - way, way out in lead, engine lets go in last lap after running 3 weekends perfectly 2025 at RdAm - poised for easy win when a single wire breaks which shuts down engine Some of these were our fault and some were just dumb luck Read all the details about this Runoffs in the NEWS tab above. After rebuilding the engine once again this season, we had to run at Grattan for our last chance to qualify for the 2025 Runoffs. We also had to see if the car was running well enough to be competitive and reliable. After a wet 1st qualifying session which left Kevin in 3rd place for the start, he shot into the lead and never gave it up in the Saturday race. On Sunday he pulled away from the pack and much to our surprise, beat the current FP track record by a third of a second. That was something we never expected at this track. It was a perfect day though, with cool air and hot sun. Lets not even talk about the 4 flat tires on the trailer on the way to the track....... Read all the details in the NEWS tab above. At the Runoffs the anouncer mentioned that this was Kevins 6th Runoffs podium finish. I got to thinking, that is pretty good! So I looked up the rest of the facts. Kevin raced the 1990 Acura integra at the Runoffs thirteen times, podiumed six times (two wins, two 2nds, two 3rds). He was called to impound (top six) ten times (podium + two 4ths and two 5ths). And the three times he did not make it to impound was when the car did not finish (a blown engine while in the lead, a blown engine in qual, then a flat tire while in 3rd, and a shorted injector). Wow, even I didnt think it was that good. Here is the first 6 laps of the Sunday Mid Ohio Hoosier Super Tour race in July with our new AEM CD-7L data embedded in the 360 degree video www.RuckRacing.com/MidOhioJune2020.webm And here is the out lap and first 3 laps of the 2020 Runoffs at Road America from our 360 degree camera with data imbedded via AEMdata. www.RuckRacing.com/Runoffs2020_1.webm And here is the 3rd qualifying session at the 2020 Runoffs at Road America where we were up on the track record when the car ran low on fuel www.RuckRacing.com/Runoffs2020_Qual3.webm We have decided to sell the 1954 Rolls-Royce Bentley R-Type. It is nearly perfect and deserves to be used more than we use it. To see all the details about this beautiful classic, go to www.RuckRacing.com/54Bentley.asp. We are very happy to thank our sponsors for their support. Although we have been approached by numerous companies we only accepted these products because we use and believe in them. Raxles half shafts, Ishihara-Johnson crank scrapers, Jeff at Special Projects Motorsports, and Hasport motor mounts have great products and have been great sponsors. We especially want to thank Cory at SloMotion for dyno ECU tuning, AEM Electronics, and Hoosier Race tires for their support without which we could be so successful.
