Tuesday May 26th Race

Well let me tell you tonite was the worstest YES THERE IS A WORD Nite of our race season. Thank God nobody was probably there to see it. Last week we had the kart running great other than the fact we need to change our rear gear and get some more experience. Tonite you would think we were new or something! Caleb could not hold the kart on the track. He was sliding ass end out around every corner and hell on the straight away too. We changed the right rear tire from a SS22 to a SS11 and made it worse. Then we changed the air pressure in the tires, had the tech guy Chris Long move the rear left wheel closer in and down more to increase our bit on the inside of the kart. Nope not much difference so I switched the right rear tire back to the SS22 and changed the tire pressure AGAIN! We cleaned the tires good and put some tire prep on them to increase the grip. We were all set to try this new combination and then the rain comes. We managed to get our warm-up heat and 2 qualifier heats in but not our feature point race. Probably for the best since we were running so bad. Now next week were will race a feature race then 2 qualifiers and then another feature race. Hopefully the track will be nicer to us and all the changes will work for us since we will have no other chances to tweak before our first feature race. So tonite was an early nite with us home about 8:45 instead of the usual 10:15. The problem is now next week will be super late with all the make-up races from tonite since Junior restricted, 1 and 2 plus Senior not running their feature races. Hopefully i will have next Wednesday off work so I can recover from slugging dirt and plants all day in the garden centre and a 165 lb kart all nite. Good times. Caleb was not to upset that he did not get to run his last race. If he was running really well i am sure that it would have been a different story thought. I am still trying to figure out why his kart ran so well last week and this week it is crap. Could a dry verses wet track make that much difference and why was it only us? Oh well it is done now so shake it off and move on right! Well that is it until next week i guess. OK who wants to see pictures again or is it boring see a kart going around. Please comment and let me know my faithfull race fans!
