In this adrenaline-fueled episode from the Cleetus McFarland channel, the team finds themselves in the scorching heat of Mesa, Arizona, accompanied by the ever-reliable Harvey. You might remember him from their previous escapades in Glamis, where he came to their rescue multiple times. Well, now Harvey has taken charge of the sand car, making some impressive repairs. He skillfully fixed a cracked control arm, coated it with a sleek finish, and even added a nifty gear indicator and seat heaters. Talk about upgrades!
But the sand car's troubles didn't end there. The team discovered some clutch and transmission issues that needed attention. However, time constraints prevented them from delving deeper into the problem. Nevertheless, they remained optimistic, knowing that the sand car's performance wasn't severely compromised. With its Mandola S4 powertrain, it still had the potential to conquer the dunes.
To further enhance the sand car's capabilities, they bid farewell to the bizarre setup of four 6-volt batteries and replaced them with a more sensible single 12-volt battery. This modification not only improved functionality but also made the battery replacement process far less cumbersome. Kudos to the team for their resourcefulness!
Their next stop was Cordes Performance, a renowned shop specializing in new Corvettes and late-model GM vehicles. This was the very place where Cleetus had sent his C7 Corvette for repairs, and the results were nothing short of impressive. As they admired the lineup of sleek cars, including a striking C7 ZR1 and a Silverado, they couldn't contain their excitement. The team was eager to put the sand car to the test on Cordes Performance's dyno, curious to see just how much power it could unleash.
With a set of fresh Hoosier slicks mounted on the sand car, they hit the streets, ready to push the limits. The sand car's performance was transformed, allowing them to perform awe-inspiring wheelies. But the real challenge awaited them on the dyno. With anticipation building, they strapped the sand car onto the machine, eager to witness its full potential. And boy, did it deliver! With a staggering 629 horsepower at the wheels, the sand car proved its worth, leaving the team in awe of its capabilities.
With the sand car's power confirmed, the team bid farewell to Harvey, who had been instrumental in its repairs. They expressed their gratitude to Cordes Performance for their exceptional work and bid adieu to the Arizona heat. But as they left, a sense of mystery hung in the air. The sand car was embarking on a secret mission, one that would surely push it to its limits. Stay tuned for the next thrilling chapter in the sand car's journey!
