I sure hope they do away with these cowardly first round call outs next year. That’s all they talked about for the first 25 minutes tonight.

Any one on here know which type and brand of motor Bodie runs now?

Thanks. We stepped on our own d**cks a few times this year or we'd have finished better. Funny thing...after all of the guessing and adjustments we did during the season we went right back to our race one setup for the final 2 races and it came back around.

If you don't test, you don't learn, correct work
I'm sure power management is the key to keeping traction, especially going to tracks with weather you've never raced at bow
What is your new car going to be?

I'm curious as to just how slippery these tracks are? I know it's no prep, but the track has to get pretty good after they start running.

Tracks are scraped down to concrete for the first 200'. Then they are washed with tide the full 660'. They started to leave the shutdown area prepped so car could stop without sliding around. After about 50 or so cars with slicks make runs it starts coming around but the last 200' is always bad.

Thanks. The Bruders and their team are good friends of ours'. We grew pretty close over the season. They share data with us and we with them. The owner, Jack French, was the chef. He always had some really good food cooked up and they were always ready to share.

Is there a reason for new car? Things you learned? Or just time.

The Mustang is a true back-half car. It has a stock firewall, frame rails, shock towers and a short wheelbase. No matter where we put the 4 link it wanted to wheelie at 160 mph. If we moved weight from the back to front it would spin/shake. We just left weight in the back and added weight to the front. As a result we ran the car as much as 100 pounds heavy. The competition level at these races is such that we found that 100 pounds was hurting our chances.

I did not realize it is a back half car. Are any others? I figured they all are chassis cars. Good luck next season I'm sure new car will help a ton.
