Rolex Reunion With Luigi

[lafngrvy]

A difficult weekend for Luigi at the Rolex Reunion. We suffered increasing power loss all weekend that we think is a result of a failing head gasket. Post race analysis will probably wait until winter as Jim and crew have a very busy fall race schedule. Please enjoy the video anyway and subscribe or at least hit the LIKE button on YouTube.

Still a great day at Seca!

Get your glasses out- you are going to stare at everything in that engine.

Maybe a quick compression test for a clue? Hate to pull engine apart for a linkage problem?

Thanks Don. We will be checking everything over carefully. We have had the throttle linkage slip in times past so that will be one thing we look at closely.

The reason for suspecting the head gasket is that Matt was adding water all weekend, but there was nothing collecting in the catch tank. Never a good sign.

I was there watching you race live... cool to see the driver's point of view and compare it to my memories from turn 10.

Question: are the cars you raced against the same class of vehicles that the Luigi CSL raced in competition during the '70s?
[Said another way.. some of those other cars seemed to be from different race classes...]
