Not A Hobby! Day 11-15

Well race fans its been a very busy couple of days. Thank you for the prayers, I’m feeling better than I was a few days ago after that nasty stomach issue. Yuck!

We finally got the toter home fuel injection completely installed on this past Saturday and had a blast doing the test drive! The computer fuel injection program allows us to modify the amount of fuel that is sent into the fuel injection which in return creates more horse power. The more horse power, the better it will be for towing. It also has a MPG (miles per gallon) setting that will help with the overall fuel mileage while towing. The program that was designed for our specific application will allow us more power, cooler operating temperatures, and better towing.

When we returned to the race shop I got out and was walking next to the truck and heard a loud noise coming from the rear of the toter… so it seems we now need brakes. Luckily the parts are in stock and we will have them installed this week. Guess it’s better we found out now.

Yesterday- 8/14/2012- Survival Day!

Happy Survival Day to us!

Hard to believe it’s been 2 years since our accident! 

Praise God for the protection He provides for us.We are still on the road to recovery and still dealing with doctors, insurance and lawyers but we are so incredibly grateful to even be here. We’ve come a long way putting everything back together again. We’ve spent a lot of hours customizing, rebuilding and making “Redemption”…Shadow Racing ready. 

Must admit as much as I love our new toter…I miss that duramax!

“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Isaiah 43:19

Not a Hobby! Days 1-3

From Monday to today…I worked a total 36 hours for IronWolf and between Dad and I we worked a total of 12 hours on installing methanol fuel injection on the toterhome to gain a little more horsepower and fuel mileage. During these days I’ve also been working on a racecar set up for the upcoming races.  

You can see the computer mounted to the steering column. 

I am drilling the holes into the intake manifold for the fuel injectors. The things we do to save a few bucks to put towards the race car.

 We are excited to have this enhancement, hoping that it will shorten our drive times significantly.
