The “Fix” – Kelsey Rowlings Recaps!

Posted on September 5, 2019September 5, 2019 by Konig Gfx

Kelsey’s drifting for August 2019 – The “Fix” is in!

August was another busy month of drifting for team Drift Chick. First up was Round 3 of Formula Drift Pro2 competition. Having developed a new method for mounting our power steering pump, and having finally identified and resolved our round 1 crash related issues, we were optimistic heading into the event.

Formula Drift St. Louis

We arrived in St. Louis August 6, ready to head out to the World Wide Technology Raceway for Formula Drift. The team felt good with the new power steering set up as we had a chance to do some quick, but short, testing before we departed and all appeared to be good. The new set up, which we reviewed in the June/July newsletter, dramatically reduced power steering pump speed and should make a big improvement in pump reliability.

After checking and prepping the car Wednesday, Kelsey started the first of two practice sessions early Thursday afternoon. With all drivers seeing the new St. Louis track layout for the first time, everyone was taking it easy in the early runs, feeling out the new course. Kelsey looked OK her first run, but upon returning to the hot pit she noted the steering had stiffened up. We were all quite disappointed with this turn of events. Given two practice sessions were scheduled, the team decided to forgo the rest of the first session to head back to the pits to more thoroughly check the car. Given the pump seemed to be working we were at a loss as to the cause of the stiffness. We changed the steering rack in the event that was the problem and carefully flushed, bled and rechecked the system.

Kelsey headed out for the second practice session. For her first run, the steering was fine, but suddenly it stiffened once again. At this point we realized the problem was heat related, but were still not sure the cause. So we improvised. After each run Kelsey shut the car down once back to the starting grid. The extraordinary crew happily pushed the car all the way to the start line. When ready to go, Kelsey fired up the car and took a run. The bandaid solution to manage heat was working and she managed to get in a few more practice runs. But, on this new course, we feared missing the first practice session would be a real disadvantage.

Early Thursday evening it came time to qualify and we continued to manage the heat problem as we did during practice. Unfortunately, the loss of a critical practice session was evident as Kelsey failed to qualify in the highly competitive field.

On Friday we spent more time investigating the heat issue. We now had a theory and we removed the steering shaft assembly to test it. Sure enough, we found that as the steering shaft heated the shaft would bind in the bushing that holds the shaft in place. After Round 2 in May we replaced the shaft and bushing asthey were impacted by the severe Round 1 crash. It may well be the new shaft was just ever so slightly larger than the steering shaft we replaced and heat from our exhaust manifold now heated the shaft just enough to expand and bind in the bushing. Kelsey attended two other events after the shaft change, prior to St. Louis, and experienced this very problem to some degree. Not realizing the cause, we assumed we still had pump problems during these events. We even changed pumps at these events, which did not help once the car heated up again. We also thought significant change in pump mounting we made priuor to St. Louis had solved the pump problem (it did). Little did we know it was the bushing.

The steering fix is in!

Upon returning from St. Louis we implemented a few changes. We slightly enlarged the bushing to allow more room for thermal expansion. We also removed an exhaust manifold and applied a ceramic thermal barrier coating to help reduce heating of the shaft. After completing these steps we then tested the car at Orlando Speed World. During the test we allowed the to car idle while changing tires between test runs to simulate competition conditions and to provide the maximum heat input to the steering shaft. The results were good. No binding. But, the ultimate test before competition would be the Grid Life event.

Gridlife South

Next up was the GRIDLIFE South 2019 Music & Motorsports Festival held August 23 through 25. The event was held at the beautiful Road Atlanta in Braselton, Georgia. With a tremendous crowd on hand, a number of different motorsports were brought together with a broad array of musical talent to again create one of the best festivals in the U.S. Of course, most fans came to see the drifting. And, with a number of amazing drivers, the drifting did not disappoint.

Over the three day event Kelsey had a few sessions each day to drift the car. This was a great opportunity to really test the changes made to steering set up. We are thrilled to report the issue seems to have been resolved as Kelsey had no issues whatsoever with the steering bind we experienced in St. Louis. Overall, an excellent weekend and excellent event!

Moving Ahead

Next up is Round 4 of Formula Drift Pro2 which will be held at the Texas Motor Speedway September 12 through 14. This will be the season finale and we are looking forward to finally having the car working well for the event! Preparation is now underway with the primary focus being placed on our transmission which we just removed and inspected. We determined some gears will need to be replaced to help assure reliability. We are hoping hurricane Dorian, which is headed our way, won’t affect parts deliveries or our ability to complete repairs and maintenance before we depart for Texas on September 10.

Looking Good

Kelsey’s Voodoo Ride S14 always looks great for photos. How do we do it? Prior to and during each event the car gets some much needed TLC from a number of the amazing Voodoo Ride detailing products. The Crew Chief is quite impressed with the spray detailer and glass cleaner. Check them out at VoodooRide.com.

As always, we will continue to get out there to compete hard and to constantly learn and improve.

All the best to each of you!

Rowlings FDSTL recap!!!

Posted on September 4, 2018 by Konig Gfx

Hello St. Louis!!! In this guest blog, Kelsey Rowlings takes over the Blog and tells us her story of FDSTL. With a solid finish in Atlanta, Kelsey and the team walked into St. Louis with confidence and ready to take on the Gateway Motorsport Park. Below Kelsey gives us details on her adjustments to the new track and much more…

FORMULA DRIFT PRO 2 St. Louis – ROUND 2 | August 10th and 11th

Coming into the second round of Formula Drift Pro 2 in St. Louis, the Drift Chick team was feeling hopeful and excited. After a 7th place finish in Atlanta for round one, we were looking for similar or better results. It was the first time Formula Drift would make its way to Gateway Motorsports Park and very few competitors had driven the track before which slightly leveled the playing field. Although our team was one of those that had never driven the track, we were excited for the high speed drifting it would allow.

Our first practice session went well but had a few hiccups. We had recently returned the car to run unleaded Thunderbolt E85 instead of lead. When we did this, one of the oil pressure safeties we had set up on the Haltech had reset itself to a higher number, so anytime the car would drop below a certain oil pressure, even if just for a split second, it would trigger the safety and lower our rev limiter to five thousand RPM. This is a great safety in case of loss of oil pressure because it would save the engine without completely cutting power and making for a dangerous situation in drift. Unfortunately, it was set too high and was dropping the limiter in a few of my runs, making it impossible to Drift the high-speed course. Fortunately, the safety rev limiter was an easy fix. We just had to lower the trigger oil pressure number to a lower, but still, safe number and our problems were solved for the next practice session which was right before qualifying.

Going into our second practice session, our runs were getting more and more consistent, but I also notice my previous power steering issues seemed to be coming back. The power steering feel was stiffening up under any slow speeds, off-throttle/hand-braking or deceleration. We thought we had solved our problem by switching from ATF to an actual power steering fluid because it had less chance of over-cavitating and seemed to work for a few events. Unfortunately, I was noticing the issue getting worse and worse. Even though my last two runs before qualifying were fantastic runs, we were thinking about whether we should try to make any changes, like changing the power steering fluid, before qualifying.

Ultimately we decided not to make any changes at the risk of possibly making it worse, and since our last two runs were definitely qualification level runs, we decided to ride out the problem and worry about fixing it after qualifying and before top 16 competition. Heading into my first run I was feeling very confident. I had great proximity to the first clip and went slightly wide on the second, but I had great speed and angle. I continued the course and positioned the car in the touch-and-go and had great proximity to the third inner clip. Heading into the only outer zone in the final sweeper of the course, I carried a little too much speed. This forced me to drop a couple tires into the outer zone, and once I was two tires off, I couldn’t get any traction in the slippery grass and it sent me sliding off track and into the tire wall, a problem that many drivers had throughout the weekend.

I drove the car back to the pits and everything felt fine. We went over the car and were pleased to find that the damage was only cosmetic and I could easily go out for my second run. However, I was sitting on a zero for my first run so the pressure was on. The sun was starting to set as I lined up for my second run. There were no lights out on track so seeing in the dim lighting proved somewhat difficult to perceive depth. As I floored it down the straight, I ended up entering just a fraction of a second too early, which forced me to put a wheel up on the huge rumble strip in front of clip one. This completely unsettled the car as I tried to transition for clip two so at that point, I was just trying to save it and keep drifting in hopes I could clean up the second half of the run. Unfortunately, I was so off-line and struggling with the power steering that I had to straighten slightly before the third inner clip, closing the door on our hopes of qualifying.

Although we didn’t have the results we wanted, it allowed us to realize that there is still more R&D needed to make this car reach its full potential. I think that once we get everything working properly, we will have a lot of success, and we can’t wait until the third round in Texas to see were our changes put us!

Knapik takes on Gateway Motorsport Park! (FDSTL recap)

Posted on August 27, 2018August 27, 2018 by Konig Gfx

FORMULA DRIFT PRO 2 ST. LOUIS – ROUND 2 | Aug 10th and 11th

Formula Drift St. Louis have moved to a new track and the drivers from PRO and PRO2 are dealing with the change! Below is Adam Knapik’s recap how he dealt with Gateway Motorsport Park track in Round 2 of FDSTL PRO 2 series!

“So after the first round in Atlanta there was plenty of work to be done on the car. I had to pull out the “temporary” motor, redo the cooling system and wire up new more powerful fans, redo the engine harness wiring, install an OS Giken differential into a 350z pumpkin for a taller final drive, install said pumpkin into the car, rebuild a new motor, get it tuned, and all the other little things in between to make a car work. With such a long laundry list of things to do I set out to work as soon as I got back. Since there was a 3 month break from round 1 to round 2 I had a good amount of time to get a lot of things finished up. But as always time flies by way faster than you think it will. After getting the car almost completely finished up my tuner noticed that my alternator was starting to die. I ordered a new high amp alternator that came the day before packing up and heading out to St. Louis. Unfortunately, this alternator came dead out of the box. I was so excited to slap it on only to see that it wasn’t putting out any volts. Since we where about to leave and no one could get me a replacement before I had to head out, we packed up the car and figured we would try to figure it out on the drive to St. Louis. Unfortunately we weren’t able to get a high amp aftermarket one in time but I found out that an OEM Pontiac GTO (04-06) alternator would bolt up with the correct spacing and put out the right amount of AMPs that the car would need, and only some minor wiring would be needed. We arrived to the track early and luckily enough there was a junk yard across the street from Gateway Motorsports Park. We didn’t find an alternator, but lucky for us GM uses the same plugs for a lot of harnesses. As for the alternator, no parts store within a 100 mile radius had a replacement, but we had another stroke of luck as someone local on Craigslist was parting a GTO. GOLD! We grabbed the alternator and slapped it on!

The next day was practice followed by qualifying. I was excited to get out there and see how the car ran and handled. In FD it seems like practice is always the hardest on the car. There are at least 30-40 drivers that all want to get in as much practice as possible, meaning that you do one run, and then wait in a line of 30-40. So the car will heat up, and then sit and heat soak for about 15-20 min before running again. But the car’s temp’s held up ok because of the new fans, also all the rewiring for the harness proved itself, as the gauges and logging was working great. Next run out the serpentine belt snapped and I had to pull in. The new alternator had a slightly larger pulled, making the belt a super tight fit. We through on a spare that’s a little longer, but unfortunately it was a bit too long, and we ended up loosing some boost since the belt started slipping. So with that we changed up some pullies to see if we can get the belt a bit tighter, which definitely helped a little. I was able to go out and get a few good runs and was getting more and more confident and then the car lost power and felt like it was running with some dead cylinders. With a massive pit in my stomach I limped the car back to our pit to do a compression test on the car. Luckily the compression check out. We changed out all the plugs, kicked it over, and it purred like new! Nothing but some foaled out plugs.

While working on the motor we noticed that our radiator had a pin hole leak coming from one of the welds. Unfortunately qualifying was starting and with so little time to address it we decided to throw some JB Weld onto it and hope it holds. My first run was super conservative so that I could put a score on the board. The team and I thought it was good enough to at least make the show but with more and more scores coming up we quickly realized we would be on the bubble. So lining up for the second run I knew I had to throw it in much harder. On initiation the slave cylinder failed and it threw off my line. With this being my second qualifying run I tried to make up this error on the last outside sweeper, I went in a little too fast and just barely put a wheel off the track. Since Gateway has grass off the track, if you touch it even a little, you’re going off, and OFF I went. So my first score of 74 would be what we are betting on to get into the show. We watched our position drop slowly, and then with 3 runs to go, we where sitting at 16th. The anxiety was real. Unfortunately we got bumped down to 18th and just like that we where out.

We didn’t make it into the show, but nothing major went wrong with the car, and the team did great under all the pressure. Texas is round 3 and we’re looking to come out swinging! See you soon guys there!”

Rookie of the year?! Vankirk FDSTL recap!!!

Posted on August 25, 2018August 24, 2018 by Konig Gfx

FORMULA DRIFT St. Louis, LA – ROUND 6 | August 10th and 11th

Vankirk takes on the Gateway Motorsports Park grid and brings the heat at Formula Drift St. Louis! Still in the lead for “Rookie of the Year”, Matt tells us how it all goes down at FDSTL! Check it out and hope you enjoy…

Formula Drift St.Louis held at Gateway Motorsports Park is a new track to the series! With it being a new track and us in our rookie year with half of the tracks being new to the team, I felt like we had more of a fair fight coming into this round than the others. Before the event we had the track made into Assetto Corsa and was able to try out the car in it to see how our gearing will do etc before we made the venture to the East Coast. Formula Drift saw us on our livestream drifting the track in the game and contacted us to help them with clipping points etc. We thought it was awesome that FD used our car and simulator to help them prepare for St.Louis as they have never seen the track in person. The team and I were excited coming in to this track and left Seattle looking forward to the upcoming weekend!

Before we knew it we were lined up on grid ready for our first practice run on Thursday! After doing half a lap I knew right away there was something wrong with the car especially since how fast this track was, any minor changes in alignment or with the car will feel drastic. After going back to the pit we noticed that the right rear wheel had toe in a quarter of an inch while the driver wheel was zeroed out. Crazily enough I believe it has been like this since right after Atlanta when we hit a wall during a grassroots event we stopped by at Lanier. Lesson learned, we will be checking alignment before every event from now on. After we aligned the car to the best of our abilities we went back on track and completed our first lap! Wow did an alignment make the worlds difference, the car felt a lot more stable and controllable. After our first lap we learned one thing, this track is fast!! After a few more laps and communication between our spotter Craig we were able to dial our line in and enjoyed the fast speed drifting in a few tandems while also adjusting tire pressure. Thursday we ended up doing about 9 laps and decided to call it quits so we don’t run out of our 16 laps before qualifying.

Coming into Friday we decided to focus on our lead runs and make sure we can consistently put down a near 100 point run for the judges. After a few laps we let the car cool down and chatted with some fans before our first qualifying lap. Going into qualifying I was feeling pretty confident, there was only one part of the track I was having troubles with so all my focus was going towards the outer touch in go and transitioning to the last outside zone and keeping the car close to the edge of the track on the last turn. After qualifying we didn’t get the results we wanted but we scored a 78 which put us into the show! We headed to autograph session and that night the team and I talked about what we can do regarding the last turn which the car kept wanting to fall off with the amount of grip we had dialed in the car.

The main event was here and we were facing Chris “The Force” Forsberg! Forsberg is one of the best in the series and has three championship trophies under his belt. We knew this was going to be a tough battle but I was looking forward to it and was glad we got paired up against a great driver. I was looking forward to going against Forsberg because I knew I can drive all out against him with no hesitations and also to prove ourselves that we can compete among the best in the world. Chris and I lined up to the starting grid and my heart was racing. The lights turned on and as they turned off I took off following Forsberg into the first turn as I initiated he straightened up and I almost slid right into him. My spotter and I thought we were going to get the win as we did not see any cones hit or restart flag. I pulled back to the grid and it was a restart so I am assuming he must of hit a cone or jumped the light. On our second start I got a good jump off the line and stayed right next to him going into the initiation. Chris and I were door to door through the first inside clip and also through the second clip going into the straight. I did not let off the entire time and gave everything our car had to keep up with Forsberg on that big fast manji. Going into the outside zone Chris’s line was slightly off and he had to ebrake to bring his car out a bit away from the inside clip, this gave us the opportunity to surge in and get right back on his door through the last turn. Coming out of the last turn I was completely blind in the smoke but we ended up coming out unscaved and what I thought was a great follow run against one of the best!

Knowing we had a good follow I was completely focused and putting an even better lead run in. After following Chris I knew between the first two clips into the straight I can pull away as I had to let off when I followed him. As we came to the entry I initiated and when the car got settled I stayed completely floored through the first and second clips without letting off and went down the straight faster than we have all weekend. We hit all the clips and stayed high on the final turn which we had troubles all weekend doing. Finishing the lap we pulled up to the finish to find out who won the battle. I thought forsure it was going to be at least a one more time after watching the big screen next to us but Forsberg ended up getting the win unanimously which put an end to our weekend. Even though we had lost our battle I could not of been more proud of the team and everyone involved. We put on a great show and an awesome fight against Forsberg and the crowd loved it! We are currently still leading rookie of the year and these next two rounds are going to be crucial for us. I want to thank everyone involved and all the new fans and people we got to meet in St.Louis that are rooting for us! The team and I are looking forward to a great round in Texas!

Cheers,
MVK Racing
