Here is an update. Last week we welded the door bars on the cage, welded the frame connectors instead of just having them bolted in, and I tightened up the front shock adjustment, it made a world of difference as the car picked up .05 in 60' just by doing this. WE are going to fabricate up an antil roll bar and hopefully that will take car of all issues, oh got to 4 cars was .017 on the tree to the other guys .057 and ripped him one to many times to give the stripe back by .001, BRAIN FART!!

I had a .001 finish line last weekend as well but luckily came up on the good side of it. Running 1/4 mile, hes dialed 8.70 and Im dialed 11.03. Took out 6 MPH to make much tighter than necessary. Got lucky.

Finally go to get back out this weekend. Did ok but not good enough, I have ordered an anti roll bar as of yesterday and will be installed this week hopefully, Got to 10 cars this weekend with the car running over by .02. Hopefully once the suspension gets taken care of we can start goin some rounds, here is a pic from this past weekend..

Well we were able to salvage a runner up this evening. I did my job but the car backfired as soon as I let off the button. I was .020 on the tree to his .070 and the car ran a 7.20 on a 7.12 dial. Oh well we will try again in the morning.

After the runner up finish on Saturday Night and losing due to an electronic short, I was able to pan out the issue early yesterday morning in time to make the call at Brown County. It wound up being a wire connection on the back of my Gauge Panel shorting out. Anyhow MAN IT WAS HOT yesterday, and the car was on a roll, to bad I wasn't, We got down to the semis and has a brain fart on the starting line to basically hand the guy in the other lane the trip to the finals, so this weekend didn't fare to badly with a runner up and a semi this weekend I think we finally have the car ready to go. This weekend we are heading to Lyons Raceway Park Friday-Sunday for the 1st annual Scotty Richardson Big Bucks Bottom Bulb Race. Good money on the plate for the taking. Stay Tuned!!!
