What happened to Cody in truck? What was your pit strategy in buggy? I noticed Tebo went 9min stops, but noticed Cody stopped with 5 to go..
Hi Guys. Cody's truck lost a wheel pin. I think that one falls on me, but I put the wider hubs on at home and beared down on them like I always do. I think from now on I will put heat shrink over them to make sure they won't come out. We could have gone 9 pretty easy, but we lost our warm-up because of the rain. The engine was new, so I never got a good bead on it. There was no way I could risk it not knowing what kind of mileage we were getting after running the engine rich during qualifying. Insult to injury, we ran Monday and went 11 minutes on a tank not that it mattered, because the gap to truhe was much more than one pit stop anyway.

Cody was running the King Edition WC 5 port engine in both buggy and truggy. I could not be more happy with these engines. Tons of power, good fuel economy, and easy to tune. Just fantastic and proud to be associated with it...
