Still plenty of time to try new stuff.  The key to winning the enduro race is to pace yourself.  Too many go all out for it and usually don't finish.

Yep. Thats are plan if we do it.  :2thumbs:

Racing went good last night. Made it through the heat race without incident. Raced in the Main event Finished 9th out of 25 even after being pushed into the wall and bending the lower right control arm again.  :RantExplode: We just keep tweeking and adjusting and the car is handling much better each time, plus the driver is getting more  confident every lap. Once again guys thanks for all the advice.

That middle pic with the "Starsky" striped red car made me think of something - your friend is dirt-track bombing in a muscle-era Mopar, with orange paint, and it's not wearing a big black #01 on the door?

That Starsky car blew up abouy 5 laps in, typical Furd  :hah: Thought about it but some one already had that number. So I went with my favorite Nascar driver Bobby Labonte.  :2thumbs:

Got the car ready to go for the year, or are you even running?

Sat. night the track was so rough we lost a right front tire. Still do now were it went! Raced on Sunday and finished in 8th place, even got to lead a lap. Thanks for asking.

Best finish so far is 5th.  So far this season we been able to drive the car up on the trailer and the end of every race. That makes me happy because we dont spend all week fixing broken stuff. This is the worst damage all season. Nothing a torch, welder and a sledge hammer cant fix.   ;D

We're still waiting on the machine shop to get ours done, then we'll be back out.  Driver waited till the last minute to rebuild the engine only to find out the head was cracked.  Had to find another. :brickwall:

She is going to Mopar heaven to be reunited with her rich Corinthian leather. She is done! Got taken out at the checker flag making a last second pass to get 6th place. Another car turned him right after the checkered flag.  :cheers:  :'( she will be missed

Picked up this car to race until we get are new 82 Cordoba race car built. Gotta keep racing because he is 5th in points and way ahead of the other rookies and could get rookie of the year.

That's sad to hear.  At least you can borrow some info and parts from the other guys until you get the new Mopar in action.  At least when building your new car, you can borrow specs off the other one, but don't have to deal with previous screwups. :popcrn: :popcrn:
