I personally think it is my driving and how I am trying to push the car to much after hearing really good lap times during the middle of the race or the car falling off like normal. I also think the car could be improved in some way. I am kinda on the fence with this one. When talking to Ryan and Jim yesterday I think Jim kinda agreed with me that it could be my driving (Please correct me if I am wrong in my understanding Jim). Anyone including Jim and Ryan have any ideas as to what it could be? Normal car falloff, driving, something I can change, or all of the above?
For me, with the 1/12 scale:
If I don't wipe the excess dope from my tires with a towel before I race, then it takes longer for the car to settle in.
If I don't stay in the groove, the the car gets unsettled and picks up fuzz and other stuff, making it push in the last 5 laps.
If you think the car can be improved, then ... ? Figure out what you want it to do and make a change. You can always change it back.
