Team Superlite Cars won't be at the UTCC or the NASA races at VIR this coming weekend. The engine failure we had at Mid-Ohio last Sunday was more serious than we thought (bent rod, ventilated & cracked block- basically everything inside is comprehensively kaboomed), and we can't get a competitive engine in fast enough. We only had a few days turnaround, since we'd have to leave today to be there in time, and despite valiant efforts, we just couldn't get it done.
This is really a shame, as we really could have used another 3 days of track time to dial in the car, as we've proven that the basic Superlite Coupe package is fast and reliable. Now we just need to work on tuning the details like shock settings, springs and sway bar settings-- and prove out a reliable powerplant.
So out next race is at Mid-Ohio again, in the balmy days and nights of August. Today the track is supposed to see 95 degrees with a heat index of 108. I imagine August won't be much cooler. Should be hot days, hot nights, and hot lap times!
See you at the races at Mid-Ohio on August 13-14!
