Had a good weekend, clutch changes during TnT at Maple Grove on Friday night yielded the desired MPH and ET we've been searching for so we headed to Numidia for the weekend. Ben was stellar at the stripe, but the clutch setup slowed the car's reaction time a lot. He won first round on Saturday against a champ 7.90 car when he anticipated the tree with an .006 light and then drove the stripe to perfection. Then, he gave it away in round 2 with .0015 red [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img] He was loving the new clutch setup though, and the car was proving to be quite confusing for his competitors - just what we were after, [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] Got to see a fellow Yenko Deuce owner at the track, what a great surprise!
In the pits:
Sunday was a little rainy early on, but then it cleared up and after 2 time shots we were off to round 1 - but Ben didn't shave enough off at the stripe. Buy back round - he win's in a heads up 8.90 race, and we are into round2! Ben drove the stripe against 3 more 7.90 cars, down to 6 cars from a 34 car field - and he is not feeling well. :sad: He wants to make the next run, but after sitting in the car for 20 minutes and his lips turning white - we decide to forfeit. A bum way to end the day, but I got him laid down in the trailer, some Advil, cold towel, some headphones.... he was feeling better about an hour later but.... We both felt wiser in the end, no responsible parent should send their child down the track at 75+ mph when they are not on their game.
Third round:
Distractions!
We have 2 Half Scale Dragster chassis', and they sponsored Bob Bode's FC this past weekend - he might have needed some Advil as well after this!!
