Jared took 2nd ran the new Triton L5 V2 ELITE and Sonny chose the Triton L4 V2 ELITE engine and took the 3rd spot. Sonny was able to pit only 2 times in the 30 minute main with fuel to spare! Nice job guys!

ok for Triton to make a nice showing at the manufacture's cup in Chico in two weeks. Most of the team will be running in the open and 40+ class. Sure to be fun and we'll see who get's to claim to be the fastest Triton driver in this area......LOL We will have a blast.

Got an L4 engine that I am seeing a little over 8min runtime. We just change the layout on our track from tight to open.. still 8min. One of my biggest reasons for purchasing it was runtime, great idle, and smooth power band reviews I read.
Additionally, it has flamed out twice in the main two different weekends. Any ideas on why I could be seeing these issues? I really like the engine, but leading in the A main and getting beat on flamouts and poor fuel mileage is tough..

Flame outs no matter which engine you are running is from either tuning, plug, fuel lines, clutch, bell hitting chassis under flex etc... Or the engines is damaged.
So its hard to say exactly. There is a detailed tuning guide on the Triton website under the support tab. They do tune a little different than other engines so May be good to have a look at that.
As far as mileage the Tritons do get great mileage. Which is why you hear the feedback comments about that. But driving style, track tuning all come into play
. There are some guys who I have seen chase the 10 minute engine and have tried every brand out there and never get it. Point being so much is driver that again its hard to say.
Make sure you are running Triton plugs as they are picky with the plugs. If you check all the other items and try retuning Also try other fuel just to see.
People never want to think that is is fuel, or a fuel tanks etc.... But I work on engines of all brands and I hear it every day from guys running all brands how they overlooked a small detail or just didn't change something because they assumed it was fine. But in the end most of the time it is one of these other things.
You can also give me a call and I will try and help out.

So who was the highest placing driver in Chico? My L3 was on fire. Bad luck had me in the back of the pack at the start of the A-main. Man that motor rips though. 2034 pipe and 25% VP Pro fuel. Getting ready for CVR in a could of weeks for their first points race. The L3 will be on display there as well. Was going to try and make it to the JBRL race but most of the guys are leaving Thursday and I can't miss more work
