Yup, Tremblay is shaving the times way down.
I can imagine Ham and Haskell will be scorching too...

Did you guys get changed into dry clothes yet?

I have to admit, much cleaner racing so far with a certain team gone...

Definitely!

Cars made about 215 rear wheel hp with a header made by Howerton. They used the stock airbox, stock internals, no porting, no tricky stuff. Basically a Mazda crate motor. 8,700 rpm ignition cut or rev limiter. Check that. 8,700 might of been a soft cut and 8,900 hard cut. One of the two.

Is there more info on the Howerton headers????? a website or something else where I can read up on it????

#41 came back out, completed 3 laps and caused a yellow flag =/, not sure what happened yet.

On the other hand, the caution put #70 right behind 2nd place car.

Lazzaro is putting down some serious times. I'm off to bed. I hope to see some good stuff when coverage resumes on speed.
