Engine

Yesterday started to unload the truck and store the support equipment away for the winter.  I did preform a compression test on the engine.  Cylinder pressure range from 150-110psi, down from last year.  Close examination of the spark plugs reveled all were fouled.  Many laps under the yellow can be the cause, but this has been seen in past events. This winter I'll remove the engine and have Jim(engine builder)place it on the dyno and see what horse power it's making and go from there. 
Our Watkins Glen F5000 support crew and photographers(L-R) Chip, Mitch(Steve's son), Steve and Ken.  Always ready to help in anyway. This event would not be the same without these folks. Thanks guys.
Under the F5000 tent, a good thing to have this year.
