Agreed. I tell him all the time that I'm not sure which of us is having more fun, and how much I enjoy watching him race. On the flip side, I certainly know which one of us works harder at this stuff! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Once you get into the Jr's you are no longer surprised to hear how many Dad's sell their big cars to focus on Family Racing - its a blast.

The latest, we went to Englishtown this past Sunday and got 3 time shots - a rarity! Ben was flirting with the red bulb with some .00x lights, not my favorite as I'd rather have him in the .0xx teens or low twenties. Well, we used our Kestrel and log book to perfection - found a previous run that matched that day's weather and the car's weight and it actually ran within 2 hundreths!

We leave the weight on, and dial a 13.20 for round 1. Ben cuts a .005 light, and the car runs a 13.202 - oh, forgot to mention it was .005 RED! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img] Bummer, the other kid had a .3xx light and would have run under.

Oh well, there's always another day, [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Relaxing in our luxury, [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

I hear ya, I have the GoPro Camera, but these tracks won't let us use it. I'll have to try again, or mount it in a non conspicuous location.

What? Never heard that before...is that a Jr. rule, or for all cars @ that track? Seems odd, because those GoPros are getting to be everywhere now!
