How is everyone doing? It looks like another long lonesome haul to Arkansas again this weekend for race 3, and then a break till sometime in August for race 4. I am setting 2nd in 4wd points and 3rd in truck, and I think tied for 10th in 2wd. It has been fun, but I looking forward to a break from the traveling.
Also, I would almost kiss the man that first made a c-notch for lowered trucks. It has made driving my truck alot more enjoyable.

...and race 3 rained out lol. 3 for 3 on reschedules. At least it is early enough I can head up to Tulsa and race outdoors there. So, it will be good practice for the series tracks.

I ran 2wd and 4wd yesterday in Tulsa. In 2wd my struggled continued, but mid day I went back to square one on it and the first few laps of the main were good till the steering came apart lol. I guess I better take some time and work on my cars. In 4wd I qualified 2nd and finished second. I really need to work on my starts. My out laps making mistakes or getting caught up in stuff makes it hard to come back at the end of the race. I just do not know if I am not being cautious enough, or maybe I need to be more aggressive. The last two weekends were my first really being out in the heat, and I know now that I am definitely not drinking enough fluids, with the meds I am on. I feel like I got hit by a truck today. So as Casper has preached, hyrdation is key.
