Photos from home during service

After each race the car comes apart and is cleaned and checked over.

The trailer is washed inside and we prepare for the next race, usually the following weekend…there goes Saturday and Sunday.

General maintainance on the engine is critical. We clean the fuel system weekly (methanol is very corrosive), wash the air filter, change the oil and filter, and check the water. We also do a leakdown each week to make sure the cylinders still seal properly, and check the tappets – these can give a good indication if there has been a failure in the engine. Finally we wash the cylinders with light oil and petrol, just incase some water got in during the wash or from the compressed air in the leak down.

All this takes me and my beautiful wife about 4 to 6 hours of our sunday and there is still plenty more to do (that is if nothing got damaged)!
