He has tried to get me to drive it several times, but today he made sure I brought my gear and he wasn't taking no for an answer.......LOL!!!
Now it's not that I mind driving at all.......but I usually find it easier to tune the thing if I can SEE it.......LOL!!!
And the issue we had today was with the track. It was way TOO GOOD. They had a radial race last weekend and the track was awesome. Today I had them do NOTHING to track but blow the dust off, but after just one burnout, it was on kill. This car is just not set up for GOOD racetracks obviously. It is setup for no prep and public streets. Wrong 4-link settings, wrong tire and a little light on the nose. I did the usual tricks, tight shocks, really low air pressure and wheelie bars, plus anything else I could to make wheelspeed. Fine line between clean passes and shaking the doors off(which it actually did once) I could change everything on the car and make it go, but he would just have to change it back as soon as he got back to OKC, so we worked with what we had. Just needed it to go A-B with nitrous kits on and dial in the tunes
