hardheadted Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Had a good turnout for practise today. There were 2-3 trucks, a couple modifieds, two late models and 3 sport compacts.. Just enough to keep it interesting between the gokarts and practise.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardheadted Posted August 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 I'll forget to wind the rubber band all the way!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geetar Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Yeah we wrap a long rubber band around the rear tires and I've got a button in the car to unload it. Gives you a good start to the race. Hope tech doesn't see this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardheadted Posted August 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Eric's having some fun here. Just want to let you see what our car looks like on the track. Car is really hooked up good. I'm still looking to get more power to the ground and lighten the car.. We've cut almost 3 secs off our lap times since the first practice. Our second race is Aug. 9th. And this is on old/tired tires. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=102031...e=2&theater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiTech Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 looks good makes me want to get in it .. ..sounds like he is using brakes hard on entry.. roll back off the gas pedal a little sooner but not all the way off if i am right ... smooth the entry where the car is not loading up the front so hard .he could then hit it sooner and carry more rpm off that should really help that car .torque power seems to be 3000 to 6000 .work on keeping it as close to that rpm ..dont be afraid to use or try the rumble sticks in turn one ..watching the 77 mike in his tps vw can help /just go over to tps here and watch ....

HiTech Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 well i could retire with the money we have spent on racing over the last 30 years .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardheadted Posted August 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 I bet you could. We've just gotten started and already we know how it feels to watch the money fly!! Get a racecar they said, it only cost $1500.00 they said. but they didn't say the $1500.00 was every two weeks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
