| No Wear in the SCCA AS spec engine after five seasons. June 2014 After picking up a major vibration at Pocono, the engine was pulled from the SCCA AS #20 Mustang in late May 2014, to go back to Rich's Auto Machine Shop (RAMS) in Fleetwood, PA for a tear down and inspection. Shop Owner Rich Keller performed the inspection and confirmed that the engine had no measurable bearing or cylinder wall wear. "The bearings look brand new." he added. Using BG 20W-50 racing oil has helped the engine perform under a number of adverse conditions over the past five seasons to include: running over rpm limit, overheating, low oil pressure operation and extremely high oil temperatures. |
NWR's #20 SCCA American Sedan Ford Mustang
is getting some new mods from Steeda Autosports for
the 2014 season. With an already growing list of parts
like: Steeda 5 link Rear Suspension,
Steeda X2 balljoints, Steeda Front and Rear
Swaybars, Steeda A arm Bushings and Steeda
G-trac bar, NWR is adding a set of Steeda Front
and Rear Race springs and Steeda's Champion 3
core aluminum radiator. The Steeda springs are
lighter with improved rates over the H&R springs, and
lower the ride height an inch for better handling. The
Champion 3 core Radiator replaces the earlier Steeda
2 core roadrace (copper/brass) unit for better cooling.

NWR Hits the Track at Pocono for the
SCCA Freedom Races May 10-11, 2014
Brad Satow was back on track at Pocono after
missing the NJRRS series finale in Oct. 2013. After
several mods to the 20 AS Ford Mustang during
the off season, the car didn't disappoint. Brad set
a new personal best laptime by three seconds over
last year with a 1:45.527 minute lap which was the
second fastest car in class. The weekend took a
turn for the worse after Brad picked up a bad
vibration that ended his weekend after racing his
way to second position. Brad is looking to have the
car ready for Summer Thunder at NJMP later this
summer.
