I’m too old for this…..

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

So at the last minute we jumped and ran to VCS in Danville Illinois to race.  Jennifer, Billy and the kids were up for the weekend.  Well it was all clear on the drive, but once we got to Danville, it started raining.  They did a great job getting the track ready as it was a MESS from the rain! 

We hotlapped to a very tacky track, so the car pushed some in 3 and 4.  We decided to leave the setup alone for the heat race and see since we have been loose all year.  We were running 2nd in the heat when I thought I was losing a wheel.  I slowed down and 1 car got past me, so I finished 3rd in the heat.  After watching a multiple wreck Winged Sprint feature, we were up.  With the car still pushing, I had Lon take one turn out of the LR and drop the RF tire pressure by 2 pounds.  We ran the feature and I finished 5th.  But getting home at 5:30am, WOW!!!  I’m too old for 5:30am!

New Dirt Track Racing Forum

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

With Kamp’s forum shut down due to negligence of idiot posters, I have created the Indiana Dirt Track Racing message board.  http://indianadirttrack.getphpbb.com/ Please feel free to visit and share ideas on this site as before.  There is too much beneficial information that gets transferred to not have a board.  Enjoy!

How’d we do???

We qualified 5th fastest.  The track was tacky when we qualified, but the Sprints blew all of the traction off of the track.  So come heat race time, I was loose, way loose!!  I was running 3rd until the final turn, and Andy Hall got under me, so I finished 4th.  We reduced the stagger from 2.5″ to 0.5″ for the feature.  Still loose.  Need to adjust the suspension now.  We will get it back on the scales to see where we are off.  The new floater is 3 inches narrower than the old rear end.  So give us a week or so and we will be in the top 5!!!
