Gleason Bros. Racing

Just a quick update here:


My motor is far more damaged than I previously thought. What happened that I didn't see earlier was that the crank had snapped clean at the last main cap, where the bobweight attaches to the rod journal. This is what caused the piston hit the valve, and would explain why the ear broke off the side of the piston. This should pretty much tap out all of my funds for the season, so I'm planning on racing just a few big shows when I can afford to. Luckily I don't think the whole engine is ruined, but the rest of the season is shot. 


See you down the road,
Brent
