Sniper Racing

Plan is to race at Montpelier Speedway by The Milkman this Saturday July 18th after missing a few shows getting the engine fixed. If all goes well, planning on being back at Montpelier August 8th and again October 3rd. The few races highlighted in blue are "maybe" events at this time. Friday night shows more than an hour away are tough to get to with work commitments unfortunately

Replaced everything mechanically possible, plugs, injectors, coil packs Friday night at Limaland and engine still was not running right.

After a good wash early Saturday morning, I did a more in depth investigation and found cylinder #2 did not have any compression. Sounded like it was blowing past the intake valve so no other choice at this time than to pull the engine and see what the diagnosis is.

Very frustrating to say the least.

Looking ahead the next few weeks, game plan is to race at Limaland motorsports Park this Friday night June 12th. If all goes well, then we hope to be at Waynesfield Raceway for a special Ohio Sprint Speedweek show on Thursday June 18th which will be televised on Flo-Racing.

Loaded everything last night, but undecided if I wanted to run due to weather. Guess this makes that decision easier now.

A few shots from Eldora this past weekend. Nothing high profile or glamorous about this race operation, but do appreciate the great shots from the various talented photographers!

Family fun night at Eldora was a little chilly but was offset by great enthusiasm from the local crowd combined by an impressive drone and fireworks show! Unfortunately out motor dropped a cylinder midway through the heat race and did not have time to do much in depth diagnostics. However after a giving the car a bath this morning and digging into the engine, I think I found the issue. The spark plug photo on the right is what a normal plug looks like. The one on the right is what I pulled out cylinder #2.

Race 1 at Montpelier Motor Speedway in the books. An electrical issue while taking the green flag during qualifying meant starting at the back of the heat race. Unfortunately our heat race had a lot of heavy hitters in front of us -but with the talent the series has, that could probably be said about most heat races.

Missed the transfer by one spot and had to do it the hard way coming through the B-main. Started back of feature I tried a few things different for learning purposes. Not sure if it worked but did move up a few spots for a while until towards the end of the race when driver moved down to allow the leaders to battle it out and then had to take evasive action to miss a spinning car in turn 3. Was able to load car up without any major bruises and a used up right rear tire.

Track was is good shape and the USAC Midwest Thunder Midgets put on a great show once again at Montpelier Speedway by The Milkman. This has become my favorite track and hope to have more races there in the future.

Getting the car cleaned up and some routine maintenance before heading down the road to Eldora Speedway this Saturday May 2nd for an always entertaining Family Fun Night.

Planning on making the season opener this weekend! Montpelier Speedway by The Milkman is highly recommended. Great racing and a well run program.

Coming up this Saturday! The season opening races for Francis Engine Super Stocks and the High Street Hornets 🐝

Feature the season opener for the USAC Midwest Thunder Midgets along with DirtCar Modifieds 💪

See you at the track!
