After spending a lot of time together with us,Peter invited us to his lovely house to have a closer look at his racecar.He uses a datalogger to monitor engine and suspension.We also need a new and bigger one in our car for next season,and therefore Peter gave us a complete introduction on the Racepak v300 and it's functions. He is also really interested in airplanes and flying.Has already build one plane,and he planned to build one more..  |

When we left CSP,we where soo full of impressions from the whole trip that we managed take the wrong turn and headed the wrong way on to the autobahn-shiiit!!Time was starting to run out,we had a ferry to catch.Really had to STEP on the gas,managed to turn and arrived at the ferry 30 minutes before deadline  |

On the way out of the harbor,we almost ran over some idiots out training in a rowing boat.It was a close call.. Out on the open sea we of coarse had to enjoy a big meal with swedish meat balls.  |

Since our trip mostly consisted of engines and big hp numbers,we just had to have a look at the engine on this boat. First we had a look in the controll room,had to take the smallest elevator ever to get there.Because of all the terror in the world,no people where allowed to enter the machine room. After speaking with the mechanic a few minutes,I think he understood we where kind of hp crazy,and we where really lucky to join him down and have a look.Four V16 engines with 10000 hp each where running "flat out". Could not take pictures,sorry.. |

What a fully comprehensive road trip! Sounds like you guys has so much fun - apart from the T25 Gremlins of course! Man, that's the last thing you need when you are tired and have thousands of miles to drive! Hopefully next year I will make a similar roadtrip to Norway! I had better start saving my pennies now Getting out of shopping in Kiel was a master stoke of genious! How did you manage to pull that off? |

Awesome trip report, looks like you had a cool few days after the event too. Was great to see you run a 9 and to get a good look around the car, its beautiful and deserved to win a trophy. Was good to speak to you and we will see you ate SCC for sure, I hope you can come to England for a race at some point.
Regards.
Rob.

in my experience, it's about the people, not the number of cylinders. (sorry for hijacking this thread) Hey Marc, you don't get that from the inline 6 and V8 crowed?? |

What do you think caused the bend valve? Weakend valve springs because of the ratio rockers maybe?
Please check valve spring strenght if you will and let us know how much pressure they lost (or not)..

Yes,I'll post some results,going to change guides,valves and check springs.The valve broke right off in the valve lock groove,dropped into the cylinder and got hit by the piston.
