We got Tanked Racing!

Welcome to the trial and tribulations of Team Chaos Racing! Another race night is behind us YEAH! More problems but that is why we are team chaos because that seems to be par for couse for us. Last week we discovered that the mount that holds the fuel tank onto the engine was cracked and so as a quick fix we wired it onto the engine to get us thru the nite. Well aparantly with working and kids and life in general I did not get it welded before racing this week. OPPS! Caleb ran his first warm-up and said the kart was sliding and not idling properly. I adjusted the air in the tires and went to adjust the idle when I noticed that the carberator was loose again so had to tighten that up. After our 1st heat I was talking to Dan Wilder who is trying to get our engine rebuilt when I told him about our fuel mount problem. He was less than impressed that I had forgotten to get the mount welded last week and stressed that i was risking recking Chris's carb on the engine we had been lent. I then proceeded to "find" another gas tank that we could borrow for the nite. Thank god i am cute or we would have a problem. The wonderful Bob Davidson let us borrow one for our last race !! Now I just need to remove it to give back to him for next week but I watched closely and it seems pretty straight forward.
Anyways racing! Caleb was a little cautious again tonite. He does not seem to have the killer attitude. He started at the back of the pack and finished there all nite again. We seem to just pay our money and go around in an oval. At least he is having fun but boy does he get uptight about things. Bossy is an understatement i think was the common consences. Yes my spelling sucks! It is 12:10 am here so I am not looking for a dictionary OK. Ok so for Caleb's feature race we adjusted the air pressure again, lowered the back left axel half a turn. He started 4th last and gave up 2 spots to finish 2nd last with his friend #20 behind us due to a spin out that threw him in tail or #20 would have been ahead of us. Hopefully next week we will get our rebuild engine. Until then we have "the turd" at least so we can go around the track with something right. So in parting,just remember to be nice to your neighbours and freinds because you never know when you will need to get tanked and need their help!
