Add another EB48 first for me, front shock shaft snapped!

Using the outside dot with the 1.5, the EB48 really was really suffering for steering off power and pushing like crazy. The back end was locked down so hard it was almost impossible to loose traction. I went to the middle (3.5?) and steering picked up a bit, loosened up the rear slightly, so I could whip it around corners easier.

Even though there were only four of us running (we normally have a full main or two of e-buggy), it was really great racing. Halfway through, there was less than 2 seconds in between all of us (within 40' front to back person). The only other EB48 driver (David) sealed a win and I snapped a front shock shaft as I slammed into someone when they spun out right after a tabletop with no room to correct. We hit nose to nose and the EB48 lost this time. The only parts I've broken are nose to nose encounters. Last time it was a shock tower and arm when someone missed a jump and ended up the wrong direction on the straight (full speed hit as I was tearing down the straight).

Good night of racing and some wrenching to do.
