Raced the car for the first time Sat night, acualy its the first time I ran the car at all.

Broke the front upright/knuckle after the first tap of the boards entering the turn too hot, totaly my fault. oops it happend on the 3rd lap during my first and only practice run.

missed first qualifier, second qualifier the car was loose in the rear and pushed in the sweeper.

Third qualifier, I changed rear shock position to soften the rear up made a substantial amount of improvement, so I was happy, finished 5th

Main I did make a minor camber change from 2 deg neg to 3, car was alot better and I was starting to get more comfortable, lap times where improveing and was getting more confident, so I pushed a little harder, then I hit the board and my wheelcame flying off, broke the center out of the middle

day over

car is fun to drive need to do some more testing and driving, tried Red Bull's set up as a base line, but my car is BOX STOCK

Oh yea the person who won the race was driving a Baracuda

Steve: I need more parts
