I headed back to the track Sunday to take care of some business and upon arrival found the entire Japanese team testing O.S. engines. Again they were VERY fast according to the computer.
Shimo was running one with a blue head (i'm sure they ran out of black ones) that looked ok. After about three minutes of running he came into the pits, looked like a track side clutch adjustment and fattened her up about two hours. They sat a rocket down in pit lane when they where done with there little tune up. LIT-MISSLE
