DNF

Well, that didn't go quite the way we anticipated.  Friday night were heats and a Race of Champions.  We made it through the heat and used it to play with the set-up of the car.  During the Race of Champions the set-up didn't work and we ended up blowing out a right-rear tire.  Saturday morning, a lot more broken bits were discovered.  After spending the day repairing the car and banging the body back into shape, we went with a lot more conservative set-up which worked on the dry-slick track.  Unfortunately, during a bit of a tussle for real estate, we broke a tie rod ending our night early.  Despite our disappointment, there was some great racing action from the pro stocks.  The 55 schooled the field ,but the 3D and 72 had a great battle for second and the majority of the field was competitive.

We're taking a little break through December to give the car a detailed going over and fix, repair, and freshen things up.  See you in the new year!
 
A little late-night revelry, and we've joined a new team!

 
That's better
This kind of thing can make for a rough weekend
At least we looked good while we were out there.  This is post blow-out.   Looks pretty good, doesn't it? Amazing what some rivets, hammers, and elbow grease will do.
