This is the first i have been on in a few days.....first off Congrats to Brad and Jo. Thank god she looks like Jo.

Now to the racing on Friday night, The "Dans Auto Body" RC10L4 was the best car i have drivin all year. Has a lil push in the corner but I think I have that figured out and should be good to go w/ a tire change next Friday. I feel that this is the beginning of a long streak of "beating Blontz" simly becuz I will be getting FULL NIGHTS of sleep!!

Not good. Couldn't get a clean run. No one could.

Tranny broke in the 3rd qual. Stripped the idler gear. Now I suddenly remember why I liked stock so much. It was easier on your equipment. Stole the tranny out of the B4 and all was good.

Yeah the tranny was getting well abused between mod and stock. I was going to rebuild it for the RAC but I figured it would be ok running stock. And, unlike the Losi's, it gave no indication that it was going to fail. It just failed.

Yeah the same guy causing havoc for like the 5th week in a row..........

d4man I know you are talking about me and I'm NOT happy about it!!!!!!!!!

I can't help that I was lapping you 2 or 3 times in a 5 minute qual.!!!

It is tough to make a clean run with the speeds that we are running around the track and 10 trucks on the track make it tough also.

I know who you are talking about.

See you soon Dave.

I guess I should suck it up and forget about it.

One more person on Saturday would have made an A and B Main.

We have a track change scheduled. I am submitting the attached proposal. This would involve making the Oval significantly wider.

Who's for and who's against?

Dave, it seems as though I have been in contact with you more than I feel should be and I will try to fix that with a little set-up change on the rear of the truck so I will be 3 or 4 laps ahead of ya the next time I race!
