Well, we’ve arrived at Loring, Maine. We’ve sipped our first beers, ate a bunch of lobster, oogled a trio of cool hot rods, and skirted a huge speeding ticket due to the good graces of a large Maine state trooper. Other than the run-in with Johnny Law the seven hour ride was uneventful and the [...]

Blowing up a turbo isn’t good. It’s really not good at over 200 mph. Running a car at Bonneville Speedway is a lot like putting your engine through a 2 minute dyno pull, which means you have to have some durability to go with your horsepower.
