Uh, Ummm, I've been testing your tires for the last two races, but with the front end issues I still finished near the bottom. Last race in the first heat I got a little too wide on Al's bank and Monte broadsided me so hard my car broke. I borrowed one of Rico's cars and had my best finish ever in that class.

I put the axle I got from Rico (thanks again Rico) into mine, it seems smoother but my straightaway isn't really long enough to get it up to speed.

There is a brake, but it kind of reminds me of how Fred Flintstone stopped his car. It does seem to work though.

I've got a couple of pretty good podless classic sports cars I'll try out at the next race. The last time I tried them everybody else was running pod cars. I'll just have to get me a big mega box like Monte so I can bring everything.

Yes, thank you, as always it was a wonderful time. Congrats to Dominic on his first place finish.

Now that's not a GPS unit on the dash is it? If we need a GPS to get to the bottom of the hill we might not finish so good.

According to my wife, the trick is to paint the car the color you want the stripes, then mask off the stripes, paint over the tape with the same color. After it dries paint it again the color you want. Later when you peel the masking off it won't have bled through. I've yet to try it myself, but the next one I do, I'm going to do it.

Nice looking car Chris

Sounds like a good time. I had to deliver my sister's car to Centralia Sunday morning. I tried  to make it but there was a fiery wreck on I-5 that put and end to that.

Thinking about the weekend racing, we get people who can't get to all of the races so they race infrequently, they may not own a car to fit into any given class. The IROC format is really the only chance they get to compete no matter how serious they are. As for track owners always supplying cars, I'm sure that between us regular racers we could come up with a permanent fleet of Ninco Jags, or Corvettes, or even Slot it Porsches. Some front motored cars might be fun for a change. In stock form these are all pretty well bullit proof. Just a thought.

At this point it looks like our downstairs will be vacant by the end of summer. I hope to renovate the family room and build a new three lane 68' track down there over the winter. That will give us another track to work into the rotation.

Looks fun, looks fast.
