Congrats to the Pedano brothers on taking TWO track records last night.
Taking? how about, Smashing, Anhialating, Obliterating, Making them their Beeeooocchhh? (can I say that?) Those guys have stepped up to the plate and pointed at centerfield. Woo hoo I made a baseball reference.??????

I think I know what my problem is. Got magenta's all the way around, going to go harder in the front and see if it stabilizes it a bit. Probably go with two purples. I'm pushing into the corner, slowing, then basically going into an oversteer when the fronts hook up.

Oh yea, plus my driving sucked. Excuses excuses.

Plus I want to give Jason and Steve a headstart in the points... lol. dooooh!

Right. Strong work regardless. I think Tom wants that stock one too.
I think 34 laps will happen this series in spec. should be interesting.

Your sled should have been hookered up w/ those tires! Dave's right-there is something very wrong w/your car. Please take his offer & get him to look at your car!:thumbsup: (be sure to bring beer) Meanwhile,I'm working on an steel body in order to ward-off the "wrecking crew"! Either that or steel teeth under the bumper. It'll bring new meaning to the term "Gear Check"!LOL

Well I was hooked up the day before around 5 pm, it was warmer out and dirty, that was the only difference. I get to the track and its pushing like a pig, I start adding preload to the center shock to see if it loosens it up. At that point i went up as far as it would allow and didn't correct it. Then I start making tweak adjustments backing down on the preload of my red right and it started loosening but I never seemed to get it dialed, it was either too loose or too tight. Very frustrating. I'm going to make it out Wed if it doesn't rain and should, should, having something for this Friday. Need to get my act together or I'll go two point series with no laminated particle board... noooo.

I'm going to try. Although hard to believe since I haven't been doing that well lately. Looks like perfect weather for a new track record. 34 laps anyone? Should be interesting.

Nice run Stoney. You were flying at the end. Jason recorded the race and I think you passed me on the last few laps. I'll hopefully put it on the net soon.

Wish there weren't as many wrecks. But I think people are getting better and by the end of the series we'll see smooth races again like we did a couple series ago. Good to see Tom out there again as well. He was moving.

I'll burn it on disk for you so you get a better copy of it. You were HAULIN. When I post it on the net I have to compress it quite a bit and it looses some detail.

09-22-2004, 09:22 AM
just whenever I get to it. I usually try and get them up before the next race. Times are tough right now, the old lady moved out on 9/11 and I've become distracted by possible replacements.

Multiple wrecks caught on video, most likley a five car pile up in turn one early race. And some sweet moves by many. I will try and post a better copy of it somewhere on the net. Got to find a server for it. The AVI's come out about three times as clear but are also six times the size. Dooooh. When will we all get fiber-optic routers inside our homes??

well at least we got one race in. I had a good run too. I got some 7.1 and 7.2's I may even go up a tooth next week. I will have to tru some front tires though. after I changed the front tires I lost my setup and was pushing bad. I was kinda glad it rained cause there was no way I could have kept up.

shawnleary
09-25-2004, 02:44 PM
I was pushing bad when I first put my car down. The Spec blue fronts just weren't hooking up like they were last Friday. I had to make quite a bit of tweak adjustment in order to turn. I would have liked to race the 2nd qual to see if I was going to be any faster. Steve's run had the fastest lap yet recorded late in the race with a 7.1 for his 28th or 29th lap. He probably would have broken the record again if we got to finish the night.
Looking forward to next week.
