that makes sense to me. I have the brakes right at the point where they wont lock up so that's probably about perfect. I just need to get more experience driving it. I was doing great with it in practice and then once there were all the other cars on the track, that's when I started making mistakes.

And I have a truer but it's a work in progress. It is an Integy fully auto truer but I put a hudy main motor in it so it could handle the 8th scale tires and i'm currently finishing wiring it all up. That motor took some redesigning to get it in the case. But I have been using BJ and Mark's Hudy Auto tire truer and I really dont want to have to set theirs up for my 8th scale so i'm going to try to get mine going in time for the next race.

Kyle, if you need to, its no big deal to switch the arbor so you can do the 1/8 tires. Also, ours will do the camber.

The other thing you should have Mr Erock explain to you is the split in tire sizes.....front to rear. That will also make a big difference in how the car drives.

Thanks Mark. I just hate relying on so many other people to race. I dont like taking away from you guys working on your own cars. But I do seriously appreciate the help I have received thus far.

But yes, on the next HOA, Mr. Erock and I will be talking. Thanks again guys!

Kyle you will need a 7mm split between the front and rear tires.

Looks like we have a decent weekend coming up. Temps in the 70's. There are chances of rain but, we will work around that.

Guy's, I had a great time racing.

GT8 racing was some of the best this season. Billy, your the class of the field ..... Z, glad you are getting the bugs out, your car looked good in the main and 4min re-fuel did not cost you anything with fast pitstops ..... Johnny we had great runs all weekend, we both had issues in the main .... Tom, thanks for making the effort to get out Sunday. Nice to see all but one car running at the end.

Ski ...... Thanks for quick pit stops

Kenny .... Body looks great ..... glad we made progress on your car and looking to see you running next time.

See everyone for the last race.

Mark


PS it's very wet here .... but all good at home
