Escobar Racing–Maryland Was Good!


 I traveled from Pensacola, Fl. all the way to Maryland.  The first hit right off the trailer was my best pass ever!!!!!
7.86 at 175 mph!!!!!  Analyzing my data log, I noticed the boost drop off at the end of the run.  After hours of trouble shooting, I found the intercooler was cracked.  Around 2:00 am I had the intercooler out. The next morning Danny Fernandez from the ATF team of Sean Ash, welded up the intercooler.  I put the car back together and ran my best pass ever at 7.86 at 176 mph!!!!

A couple hours later it was True Street time.  We drove 30 miles, then started racing.  My first pass was 7.96 at 175.  Second pass was even faster at 7.93 at 175. At this time there was sand and gravel all over the track.  I took some power away from the car to get it to leave, and it did.  But around 150 feet out it started shaking the tires, I pedaled it and kept going.  My traction control came on 8 times during this third pass and it ran 8.22 at 174.  I was disappointed the track could not handle the power to make another 7 second pass, but I still took home the trophy and my 14th True Street win!!!!

Esco Update #9

 
We had a very successful first race.  We placed 2nd in True Street at the NMRA World Finals.
 
We had a few issues that held us back a little and we are still trying to figure out this new combo.
 
I would like to take a minute and thank ALL my great sponsors for all the help and support during the entire rebuild process!!!!  Now my payback to you begins!!!!!
 
By the end of the weekend the car went 8.05 @ 171.67.  We still have some work to do, so look for some faster time slips very soon!!!!
