Topic: Rapid Raceway 11/4/17

Had a great time at Rapid raceway last night. There were 9 racers and we raced early modified and late model ( "58 and later ) sportsmen. Fast cars, I even managed to get my '63 Chevy sportsman into the mid 5s, but my half finished '40 Ford modified was stuck in the 6s. Still not too bad for an 87' track. But as some of the regulars were hitting the high 4s there's still a ways to go.

Mitch; I was watching your Early Modified going around the track, your car is as fast going down the straight as any car, you may need more gonads for the corners or maybe just more time on the track!!

Thanks for joining our "big" car program!

See ya.
Howie.

My new DiFalco controller should be delivered today. That old Parma controller that I built from scratch just didn't cut it as far as brakes and smooth acceleration.
