More Challenges With Our 602 Dirt Late Model | Needmore Speedway

This race at Needmore with the 602 dirt late model did not go to plan, we went out to fix some problems we have had, but we may have made it worse! After starting towards the middle of the pack, PB in the 9H, 28 Special started falling back in the pack. Engine issues and oil pressure dropping caused him to have to pull out of the race ending our night with another DNF.

Trying to diagnose the issues in racing is difficult because you have to wait until the following race weekend to see if your adjustments worked. On the bright side, the qualifying effort was good and PB is getting more comfortable driving the car and it shows. You guys will get it figured out and be able to put a full night of racing in. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Looking forward to the next one.

Thanks. I certainly do feel more comfortable. And I feel balance is almost where I need it for what I think I need. The motor is just our biggest issue for sure. Looking forward to one night of full power eventually

It’s very very important in 602 and 604 crates to change the valve springs regularly. Not sure if you do . But if the car got slower and slower, I’d definitely be worried about a problem in the crank area .

[@larrywarner9314]

Sounds like your running lean , that would cause the flames like that , as far as the oil pressure drop you need to drop the oil pan and look at the crank

[@codyrose375]

Have you guys looked into rear end gear ratios, a taller ratio will give more torque out of corner and higher top end by the end of the straight.

[@TheHenryBoys]

The gear ratio is the same one many use. We are just down on power for some reason. Especially towards the end of the race. You see the car ahead just start gapping is and the car gets very quiet.

Was the engine new when yall bought it, also you might want to get new tires for it them tires don’t last for ever

[@PBHenry]

It was not. It was supposed to be very lightly used but the motor was not run by the person I bought it and the car from. I don't know how long anything was refurbished on it but it definitely is our biggest issue. And the tires especially the RR I think finally gave up this race because the track was so much drier than normally what we run on

Also the oil system could be bad we had that problem with are car you should check that as well you, should do some research on that
