[coverattach=1]Bluebaugh Racing’s Team Magna Fuel attended the Pacific Street Car Associations (PSCA) Las Vegas Nationals this past weekend April 17-19, 2009. Bluebaugh qualified in the 4th position of 16 Pro Street entries with a 6.53 @ 216 mph running against a strong head wind. Crew Chief Deborah Woodard said we went to the event with intentions of taking a fairly aggressive stance in stepping up the nitrous systems in the Magna Fuel Monte Carlo. Just several weeks ago we found success in stacking the 4th unit of nitrous reaping a 6.45 @ 219 mph, our best time yet. We are starting to question though if we have hit a wall or there is just something we are missing. Efforts to squeeze more out of our current combination are not responding as hoped. More nitrous is not showing any difference in time increments early in the run. This will be the first time we have to simply consider that we have stuffed all the nitrous into a motor that it will accept. Bluebaugh said at this time we are open to any suggestions that make sense or not. The alternative is that we need a bigger engine to stay in the top ranks of competition as the field is now starting to see more frequent 6.20’s and 6.30’s. Our plan to win with wicked consistency needs to at least see the low 40’s. Just a few tenths away, we are pushing hard to make every gain possible. We pinched a few rings in our attempt to step up the Magna Fuel Monte Carlo this weekend and the team stayed up all night to re-ring and inspect the engine on location at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. As luck would have it, the MSD Digital-7 failed in round two, after working perfectly for years, giving John Mihovetz of Team Accufab an easy run to the final. Woodard said, we have not hurt our motor in a long time, but we had to run it to edge to find out. The MSD unit was just the icing on the cake on a tired Sunday morning. Though it’s been a rough start of season for us, we have always been the team that could make the most of what we have and we are going to keep trying and trying some more. Bluebaugh Racing will be back racing with the PSCA in Fontana May 15 -17, 2009.
