It's tough running against these guys. This is my first year back in real racing full time and I knew comming in that I was down on HP compared to most of these guys. I kinda thought I'd be a better driver but this .400 Pro Tree has been kicking my ass and it's taking a while to get my brain adjusted to seeing all 3 yellow's go at the same time... We typically have 8-10 cars in the feild. It would be nice to have a full 16 car ladder. That would help me out with maybe not having to run the number 2 or 3 qualifier in the first round every race.... But you just never know what will happen in racing. In second round qualifying the fastest car in the class spun and I was able to beat him. That could happen any time in eliminations.... in fact it did happen in first round this week but I was too slow on the tree and my car spun a little as well, so I just wasn't able to take advantage. For what I have in the car I am very happy. It would be nice to get it to run 5's all the time in it's current state. I really think the new progressive NO2 controller is going to get me there. The new rear shocks have been a god send... just being able to keep the car from unloading the rear end this week helped me run the fastest the car has ever gone on this tune up. I have some plans for the car next year. As long as things keep going like they have been and I don't damage something REAL expensive I'll be able to upgrade the engine and the cage for next season. I like racing this class. Everybody is super nice, the fans love seeing regular looking street cars run so fast and even loosing to a way faster car in the first round is better than bracket racing where I can loose to a way slower car.... Thanks for the support guys. Next race is July 20. Will |
