You are suffering new car bugs and blues. You also screwed up and let a race car know you were in a hurry. And you kept doing it. Most luck is self generated and self inflicted.


Hard lessons I learned over the years, and learned again getting back into Stock.

D.W said it best, you often find out that if you slow down a little, you'll go faster, sometimes, a lot faster.

Dont disagree, and some ,were "gambles" we decided becuase of our time constraints to go against and play the odds, sometimes we knew it was a looser, that one of the reasons, we never and still havent a)felt sorry for ourselves or b)Said why oh why us....

But I thought that cartoon was HILARIOUS especially with what Irv said and the twang in his voice made it just priceless, I hope he see it....lol

Correct and to that end we change up things randomly And what might appear erratically but has actually been thought through cost/benefit/risk analysis, so far were on the loosing side of those calculations but well be back soon.....right now my only focus is the Truck, everything else is in good shape to get some HP added to the Combo 2 and 3 steps now working properly, engine checked thoroughtly perfect, gonna try some suspension adj on the nose to improve the 60' as its been hammered down and I wanted to start there and loosen from there.......
