We had much of the same here. It was just me and adrian. I had no run time issues in mod. The battery still had 150 seconds left on the discharge. The car was very efficient. Would have been nice to have a bigger turnout but it was fun.

Instead of being negative towards those who dont sponsor you , you should be positive towards the companies who sponsor you.

I wasnt being negative towards Jason as I think his car looks great and handles great. It was just misleading on how you posted in this thread. 6 tenths seems like an awful lot..

I'm just trying to figure out who I was negative to...

I changed my post..... sorry...

and yes he went 6 tenths faster with the box stock setup for the bmi..

I was at the track and that was his first run on the track with the bmi, not second or third pack.

I was very amazed by it, which is one of the reasons i am getting one and rob king who ran it for the first time last weekend said the car was amazing right out of the box.

No but he needs a 1/12th bumper from PW, like, yesterday...lol!

I got to show Jason the tools of lexan bodywork today....a lighter and shoe goo. Unfortunatly it was to fix the last 2 bodies you and I had painted for him.

Yeah, i was going to run stock and Dave wanted to run mod, so I signed up with him so he could run. My 4 cell packs are all at least a year old, so I wasn't expecting to finish any races

It was just 2 guys at a glorified club race.

That being said, I know Dave tried a bunch of different stuff. I mostly just went to a blue rear spring and 30 weight oil, outside of the regular box setup, with magentas all the way around. The track was bumpy, so the cars got thrown around a bit. I thought it was good, but I am not a regular mod driver, so YMMV.

Looks like I will probably not be able to add another BMI car into the mix for the first round of the Hurricane series race. I will most likely be out of town for business for most of the week.

Jason, I was originally going to have you ship to my office but I will forward you my home addy when I receive the confirmation to ship email from you.
