figured out the issue with the race car... without getting really in depth with it our timing curve was causing the front end come down and unload the rear tires. but we went 5.11@138 in the 1/4 finals then in the semi's threw pretty much everything we could timing wise to the 2nd kit and ended up doing a BIG OL WHEELIE! could have DEF won the race seeing how bob KILLED the guy on the tree. but we just didnt go tight enough with the front end.

Well if nothing else.... you came away with a BAD ASS picture to blow up and put on your garage wall!


Have a couple printed off, sign it, and I'll hang it in MY garage!

badass for sure, 5.11 is getting it done. Probably the best thing you guys could have done is race x275 with that car.

Are you planning on going to ducks race?

thats the plan as of right now... we are going to wick it up for the yellow bullet race and depending how that looks we might again for ducks race... we havent really started to lean on the motor to much yet. plus with the weight off at ducks race we should be able to FLY
