LOL,
Jedi took the street tire shootout once again!
I did realize one negative to racing on stock tires, "tire shake" is devistating to every component of the car. I had several electrical
issues due to connections vibrating loose, then on main event Saturday, our first pass which was only a warm up on motor, ended with a broken rear end. The
housing cover is also the mount that holds the rear end in place. The left side of this mounting arm shattered. I can only attest that fatique and stress over time caused it. Needless to say, we did not get to run the Saturday race. We had a spare rear, but not enough energy to attempt a last minute change.
I look forward to seeing everyone at the next event and will continue to offer a cash bonus to someone who beats my record.
