I quickly converted the video of Sundays 2nd pass. Notice the guy in the white T-shirt and black long sleeves. He's hiding behind the concrete barrier because he heard about the cars previous records of blowing the rear diff. This is not a video to teach anyone how to drive. It DOES however show that we go through all of the same learning curves that any other newbie goes through. Enjoy.

I put a pack of these in today's UPS shipment for you Tony. Looks like you're going to need them.

What tires were on the car Tom?

Sorry you had a rough time Tony, it's a handful. You will get it though, I have full confidence in you, you did a great job on the Red. Just going to take some seat time. If the car is on a radial now, tell your pops to put those slicks back on it.

Jarrod, I hope we only need a weeks supply. Just incase, make it a couple of weeks worth.
David, I left the slicks on it. It started getting a little cool by the time we made the 2nd pass. Also, I had the tire pressure at 16/16.5. I think we went through parts of the maps that don't ever get seen. That's part of the reason for the richer mixtures too. Not too much reason to normally tune the 3000 low load areas. The Nitto's go back on this week sometime, just to let him play for a while.

I thought Ardmore was old/old/old. I haven't been there in 30 years. Is it good enough to run 150+?

Its only the oldest track in the US, and they used to run Pro Stock/Pro Mod, but the kicker is they only run every other weekend so there are lots of weekend dates available.

Its the track Lee Shepherd died at.

Well, that really makes me warm and fuzzy inside. Could you maybe find one that's at least 50 years newer and uses electricity instead of candles?
