Well we had made a few changes to the car before the race to help try and resolve a few issues it was having. We changed the fuel pump, a shock and adjusted the rear torsions....and I elected to sit out the hot laps so the the car owner could get a feel for what the car was going to do, so if adjustments were needed we could make them before the first heat.

I kick myself now because they would not let them get "hot", but only let them warm the cars up......said they wanted to keep the track nice before racing began........LOL.

A whole ton of parts for the other (my) car should have arrived today and we can continue putting it together soon.

Got the 5th win in a row two weeks ago......and broke a head stud and blew a head gasket last week.....

I swapped in a spare motor yesterday and practiced with it tonight, and its STRONG! I really should have put this motor in the car earlier, just hope I can finish the season on it.

Sprint car is coming along, but I have not been around to do any work on it. Sounds like it should be near completion within the next two weeks.

Sounds like a little bad luck, hopefully you'll hold on to the end of the season

Please put up some pics of the Sprint before you crack it up...j/k

Bad news......after a barrel roll in the #611 car, the car we were building got most of its parts robbed to make the race the next day. Then to make things worse, the motor got sold out of it after another racer blew his. Only thing remaining is a seat and steering wheel and a few odds and ends.

I am currently working on getting my OBS ready to sell to fund the purchase of a "turn key" car.

However, the Legend is working great and got another win last week.
