Lawrence Tech faulted out after 3 laps. We sheared the bolts on our dif and...lost all of our 'go'.
The reason behind it all though, was the use of "shiny" socket head cap screws, instead of your...

It was built to show a synergy of all the different top flight engine technologies that Mahle posesses in an ACTUAL engine. they offer just about every component on an engine to OEM's so it was a way...
The only difference Dan, is most teams indirectly buy an engine straight from Honda, or yamaha. I wonder why UofM Deaborn doesnt catch any heat for buying their engine's directly from their...
