WOW!! I am very sorry to hear this... :'(
If it was so easy, everyone would do it!!! NOTHING about Drag Week is easy when it comes to seriously competing in the top classes... I get butterflies in my stomach when we hit the road from the home track, it all of a sudden hits you, that this is some serious shit! :o

On a lesser note, so am I. I lost oil pressure this morning on a test run... maybe next year.
I feel bad for the guys at Pro Rides. It is a lot of work to build one of those cars. I hope they get the engine fixed and the bugs out of it for next year.

I got some shit came up in the last minute.. Went to take my junk around the block the other night, brake peddle started sinking, turns out the rear wheel cylinder blew, so I went all through the rear brakes, get it bleed a few minutes ago, seems the master has taken a shit as well.. Master only takes a few minutes to change, and it is the basic chrysler aluminum master, so gonna order one right now, and all will be fine again..
My problems are NOTHING compared to yours and Denny's, so I am repairing it with a smile!! ;D Better now then on the road. ;)

How do you just lose oil pressure?? ??? I have heard this, but never had it happen expect on stock old Ford small blocks when the aluminum oil pumps would lock up after 150,000 miles and spin the shaft off.

Glad to hear you have your problems fixed. I am still coming up to watch the first few days. I will be at National Trail and Indy. Best of luck!

You may still be able to make it if you really want to go, but that is up to you, as I said, I suggest taking it for another ride, just slow it down this time..
Good luck, let me know.

Re: ***Breaking Drag Week News*** Project Sick Seconds is OUT!
I do really want to make it, but I don't want to hurt the engine either. Someone on another board mentioned that it may be that my oil pump pickup fell off or broke. Makes sense to me, I guess.
Even if I could cruise slow (it does fine below about 55 MPH to my knowledge), when I make a run, the engine will see up to 5800 RPM- I am afraid of what that will do.
If this was the Power Tour, I might chance it, but it ain't. No lawn chairs needed at this event! As a competitor, I would want to do my best- a problem like this would prevent that.
I will try next year. Thanks for the help- see you in Columbus. I will just be sight seeing.

Re: ***Breaking Drag Week News*** Project Sick Seconds is OUT!
Have you tried changing the oil and filter? if this is a new combo the filter could be full of shop rags/paper towel/silicone.
My dodge truck was doing a similar thing today except the prob there was it only had about 1 quart of oil in it...Added oil and problem solved!
