…a new year…
Monday, April 14th, 2014It’s been a pretty uneventful winter in the shop. I planned on doing a lot of work on the car to get it ready for the NYSS season but so many things have gotten in the way. I did put new frame horns on and replaced the fuel cell, neither of which turned out the […]
…some time passed…
Monday, November 11th, 2013So a lot of stuff happened. I got out of the car and let Kelly drive for a while so I could try to figure out what was wrong with it. It turned out there were a lot of things. Unfortunately, I found most of then too late to get any decent finishes. I think […]
…well, that happened…
Monday, July 29th, 2013After two weeks of thrashing where I had three rears in the car and finally had to buy one, I got the car back to the track. It was pretty out to lunch even with (because of?) new tires. I messed around with it until it felt drivable and took it out for the heat. […]
…take that, adversity…
Monday, July 15th, 2013So some things went on over that last few weeks. And some things didn’t. The Super Stock show for 7/5 got dropped due to low car counts. Mother nature made her opinion known by raining out the rest of the classes. The up side is that the message was received by the drivers and Bobby […]
…c’est la vie…
Thursday, June 27th, 2013Friday night was probably my best chance to win a feature this season and I blew even a top three. After last weekend’s melee at Evans Mills, I got the car back together and the new cooling setup is working VERY well. Considering how mangled the nose was it even looks pretty good. practice was […]
…on the road again…
Tuesday, June 18th, 2013So Spencer rained out again. I was really looking forward to racing but I’m glad I didn’t have to deal with the swamp so it was a decent call. Since they cancelled and Jason has been bugging me to go up, I swapped gears and tires and went to Evans Mills for the Doxtater memorial […]
…and in other news…
Tuesday, June 4th, 2013So I made a bunch of changes to the site. It seems no one could register, and there was no way to email me to complain about it. I’ve fixed both. And I think I’ve taken care of the broken links, formatting issues, and missing pictures. And I added the forums back. Now that there’s […]
…well, it’s a start…
Monday, June 3rd, 2013Well, I did everything I could to get the car cool and what finally did it was…a fan. I think the other stuff I did helped a lot and probably would have kept it under 200 if I didn’t do any idling. But after the first hot lap session, it came in and blew water […]
…all dressed up and nowhere to go…
Wednesday, May 29th, 2013Well, Friday afternoon rolled around and the car was all set. I’d done everything I could to fix the cooling issues, adjusted the valves, fixed the kill switch, and even put new tires on it. But the rains never stopped. So I spent a little time this week touching up little things and hopefully I’ll […]
… friendly fire…
Wednesday, May 22nd, 2013Well, opening night happened. Actually, I guess practice did too but I’ve forgotten to post anything about either until now. Practice went pretty well. The car ran a little hot but otherwise everything went smoothly. I didn’t get a good feel for how competitive it would be but it felt solid and smooth and I […]
