We still have our Slant series, but sadly just like this board many are getting older and retiring. I got my car when Mike retired, hopefully someone else will want it when I retire. We have new members pop in once in a while, and some actually stay around.

We did have 37 cars for the Clay City race last year, an all time record.

Have the car at Teig Chassis getting some steering updates. The car always drove great forward, but was a pita to back up. We installed a new rack, and made some new tie rods. Patrick has also put stops so the wheels can't flop all the way in when backing up. That became an issue at Coles County last year trying to get in the right hansd lane.

Old tie rod:

Patrick also moved the tie rod below the steering arm. It really helped bump steer.
