A few pix from Detroit today. Lots of potential with this engine platform.

Ok. So the last pic has nothing whatsoever to do with EcoBoost. But I have never seen a race fan obtaining autographs on an 15lb engine block. Love that dedication. Pretty cute too.

Great pics! Boost is set way too low. What engine block is she holding? I see one cylinder. :confused

That's a tiny intercooler, I've seen larger ones on a lawnmower

She is a cart racer, the block is from a Briggs & Stratton engine. Apparently, she won a significant race with that particular engine, later holed the block. Now being repurposed as a keepsake. Enjoyed her story, such passion!

I don't know about you, but that sunscreen Day had was not enough. I am roasted. No pics of the Traxxas girls?

I need a drink button on my steering wheel.

No Traxxas girl photos, was enjoying it real time and forgot to take one. And speaking of smoking hot, if you're headed back today, you need SPF100 ~ only thing missing yesterday was the baby oil to fry in.

Once Rich & Denis get that speed control mastered (hint: a larger/heavier brick), they can probably move on to a drink button. And your choice of beverage for that is....?? :lol
