I ask John Calvert if I could post his unfortunate engine failure. John had sparkplug go bad on his qualifying shot. It hurt the piston and scratched the cylinder wall. John traveled cross country to be here, and going home was not an option. With the help of many friends, he will be back racing tomorrow. The photos speak for themselves, yes the engine had to come out. Jim D'Amore from JDM had the parts, piston, rings and the engine hoist. Jimmy Ronzello was just one of the guys helping get John back into the program. With all the negative here on Class Racer, it sure is refreshing to see racers come together and help a fellow racer in need.
