Re: Cumberland AX Sept 19 and 20.

Made it home safe sound and with all cylinders moving freely

Tried driving home thinking worst thing that would happen i'd drive on a dead cylinder (thought it was a broken ring)

Well, all in all it spun a rod bearing. The lack of oiling to the cylinder caused severe blow-by while it was on the course. 90miles into my trip home I was able to confirm when it began knocking and I had to get a tow back to OT's. Installed another engine this afternoon and just got back.... It was real, it was fun, but I cannot say it was real fun
