I know the track has a live feed video, does it get archived to review later? I'd sure like to see that. That was Q3. Nice use of the flash Bob Johnson Photography!
As for Ed, I'm sure he will find another forum.
As for the other's here, thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it. We're going to recheck the wheelbase, make sure it's not off on one side as we want as little pre-load on the bars as possible. I had two-flats on the passenger side and for E1, I had another 2.5 flats in there. Having almost 5 flats seems excessive to me so that maybe telling me there is something wrong elsewhere.
Fixing the fuel cell vent is easy. What I can't understand is why it's never been a problem in the past. I'll put 3 loops in it and run a long length from there.
Hopefully I have the tire clearance already fixed. Now I need a body man to clean it up a little. I just received a message from another racer who had a slick to body clearance issue and once fixed, picked up 3 MPH. And my slick wasn't touching the body just a little, I've got a good 3" of tread that's worn down considerably more than the other 6" on the outside. I guess these Hoosiers grow a lot more than the M/T's I used to run besides the fact I went from a 91"-92" rollout to a 96" rollout. And I'll be checking rollout on both slicks as well to make sure that's OK.
ET factored to 10.48 @ sea level. There's a handful of D/S cars that can match or better that so D/S could be a fun place to be right now!
