i agree with tippy here. the raceing seems better. the track isnt so slimy and has more bite which makes great conditions for the chargers. Friday the track was slimy and it was single file all the way back. (nothing exciting bout that right guys??) but at the end of the night the track was alittle drier and had more bite and more then one groove. what im saying is that maybe we should just stick to racing last and giving the fans one hell of a show to end the night like they are use to seeing friom the chargers.

Yeah I know you said you didn't like a dry track last week, and I figured you'd say so after I made that comment. But hey, I figure we've got you outnumbered on that anyway! And its more important to figure out a way to keep you from drawing the pole again!!! ;D
And yeah, it was a really great run last week, but my car did handle better the week before when it was drier......

See thats the thing with me. Its handling that makes me want a wet track. It seems my car handles so much better. I can put it wherever and it will just go. For instance... this week i wasnt really very much faster than you or 61 or x. Just my car was handling great and i was able to keep a lead on you guys. And yeah i doubt i will start on the pole again this week lol. But i think im due. Last year i only started the pole a few times all year long. Swafford was gettin all the poles last year it seemed lol.

And also... its almost summer time too. Every year i have raced i done all my winning early and late season. In the summer when the track dries out i get a lot of 3rd and 4th plase finishes. Then when its gets cool out in september and october i start doing better again. So i dont really think it matters that much as in what time we run as much as its what the wheather conditions are. Cause that directly relates to the track conditions. The first few weeks whether we raced first or last the track was still a muddy mess. And if its gonna be dry and slick then even if we race early its not gonna be wet. And if we wait till the end it will end up being to dry and black.

yea i know it seemed i started on the pole alot lol. i got good luck with the draw. and you do got a point about the weather. but then again we dont know how they are gonna prep the track this summer. i guess we can try it again later in the summer. idk. but for now id rather see the class run last (for now) and put on a good show for the fans like we normally do

I think later actually work better for me time wise. I got my daughter softball game in hurlock friday at 6pm. don't know if I am going to drag the car down there and try to make it in time or just wait til next week

It seems everyone has their own opinion for their own reasons. Make sense. But its not like theyre gonna run us first every week. They are suppossed to be alternating us. I think that sounds best. So were not waiting until last every night and get out early...or we wait till the end every other night and hopefully on those nights the track wont be too slcik by the end.

yeah , if everyone wanted to run last we could go to the track and ask , I don't see they wouldn't . but if there is anyone who like running early, then if only fair to let them alternate us weekly

I think it was tubbs #60, I was so far behind I cxouldn't the leader with out a rear view mirror. don't know why I got sent to the rear, thought it was hitting a tire, but the X hit a tire and nothing came from that.

crap , think I need a steering box, not are the wheels pointed in different directions, but the steering wheel keeps turnning with out the front wheels moving . guess the sideways infield trip was a little rough on the front end

Post by Tubbs60 on Jun 11, 2010 14:06:07 GMT -5
Bud, you dont have a steering box. You have a rack and pinion. If your wheels are pointed in different direction you prob just bent your inner tie rods... which screw into the rack. And if your steering wheel doesnt turn the wheels check to see if the knuckle broke or came off the top of the rack where it bolts onto the end of the steering column.

Post by WrongWayWillie#13 on Jun 11, 2010 14:36:55 GMT -5
yeah, I know its a rack. it steers just not all the time, I got another parts car that I'll rip the steering out of, just gotta find the time
but thanks!
