Willow Springs With ST USA, Part I

Parking my car in YimiSport for the night.

Track days are always such a pain, sometimes it’s a wonder why we keep on going. On Wednesday, Jon came over to help me bleed my brakes, only to discover that I had a couple lugs fused with the wheel studs (4 to be exact). I call Ferdie up in a hurry and he happens to still be at the shop, so he brings me 7 wheel studs (just in case). I hobble over to YimiSport after dinner and leave my car for my tune; fast forward to Friday night, slightly before 11PM, and I’m putting down around mid 350whp and 390wtq. Same as before the Cosworth engine, but less timing; great!

Hella flush! Just kidding.

Little did I know that would be the least of my worries this weekend, freakin’ car! Racing can eat at you sometimes, but it can also make you forget about all your troubles too. Well, it was getting late, almost 1AM, so Ferdie, Amy and I head over to Yim’s house for a nap. We’re supposed to get up at 5AM to get back to the shop, pick up a few things and then head on over to the track. I passed the hell out, I was tired and we weren’t even at the hard part yet.

When I checked, it was putting down around 400whp.

Meanwhile, Ferdie’s car was still on the dyno. Paul Leung was tuning the damn thing until who knows what time. But all I know is, when we woke up, the car was magically ready. That’s why if you want it done right, you take it to YimiSport! That thing is a beast now, with an output of over 400whp. Stay tuned for more!
