RON KRISHER'S TURNAROUND

Ron Krisher said things got pretty tough earlier in the season and had him questioning his direction. He made a change over to an engine lease program with Victor Cagnazzi and life has been great.

The only problem for Krisher is that he’s lacking for experience when the conditions are very good.

“We have a lot of confidence in what we’re doing now,” Krisher said. “The thing is we know what to do with the Cagnazzi engines until we get in the good air. We don’t have any runs in these kinds of conditions to mix gear ratios with motor power and we suffer with that.” kirsherDSB_3497.JPGRon Krisher said things got pretty tough earlier in the season and had him questioning his direction.

“We have a lot of confidence in what we’re doing now,” Krisher said. “The thing is we know what to do with the Cagnazzi engines until we get in the good air. We don’t have any runs in these kinds of conditions to mix gear ratios with motor power and we suffer with that.”

Krisher said his team shines when the corrected altitude hovers into the 2,500 through 3,000 foot air range.

“When we get that large of a change in the middle of a race, it throws us for a loop,” said Krisher.

Krisher said he has a test session planned between now and Richmond. He’s hoping that Mother Nature will show favor.

“We know what to do with the car, it is the ratios that get us,” Krisher said. “We’ve only got four runs in the car with this motor in air that’s 1,500 or better.

“We’ll fix it, but we just need some runs in that kind of a situation.”

Krisher said his team handles everything on the car except for the engine and tuning.

“We don’t get any information,” Krisher said. “We have to work our way through it. We’re good at that. If we could only stop getting 1,500-foot air only twice and get four runs in those conditions then we’d get the experience we need.”
