    I'm back home (blew clutch in R2) but here's what I recall of Saturday's race results in CMC:

    R1: Burch, Varner, Warren

    R2: Landrum, Varner, Mosty

    I found a good deal on a LT1 that CMC17 might be sportin'. Yep, watching those GM guys pull away as I'm struggling with the little power I have is depressing. lol I can only catch them in the corners but the 350's definitely rule. Time to make some magic happen with CMC17. MSR-H will be a different story this time.

    lets compair tq from say 3.5K and up (where the motors stay in a race) and see how they compair. my peak TQ is @ 2k-2.5k. its a fast down hill slide from there. i did bump the power some thursday. the dyno @ the ranch had me making 215 or less and 280tq or less w/ the restrictor i had from the first two races (LG dyno reads high). so i went up from a 31mm to a 33mm. i also carried more weight all weekend than i ever had. to the tune of over 50 lbs. that helped my push some.
    most of my gains from this past weekend were from nothing more than shocks in the front and a spring rate change in the rear. been having a bad push, and i'm just now confident enough to start trying to tune it out.
    plus mike worked w/ me on air pressures and his advise for the long race was priceless. i was gonna try and save the car, mike said "use it up!'. well i did. sounded like the trans was gonna fall out on the way to impound. my weight after the race was like 3240.

    as for MSR-H, well i did pretty bad there last time. i dont exspect much change next month.

    Oh, I see. Mike set me up. He told me b4 the race to not slide my tires.
    At 10min left in race, then go use up the car. With you up my shoot the whole time, there was no saving. It was a 40min sprint. 4 wheel drift the whole time. Has anyone EVER corded one of these tires? I can't do it.
    Oh, I was 3180 something post race.

    I tried my best to do so in the 40.... They are the same tires I had at Houston and were new, last event at Cresson, an AX with a lot of rear tire spin and smoke, ran this event and now they look perfect for another event or two!! I love them toyos! It will be interesting to see what the lap times were toward the end of the race though because the tires did seem to be going away......a little. :wink:

    he told me to not slide the tires too. sliding the tires and saving the car are 2 different things.
    i only wish my car would 4 wheel drift. :?
