Getting ready for the 3rd points race at NGMS....

Started working on tires tonight....If we are not quick this weekend I'm about ready to give up and just go with Track-Tac....We can't seem to get anything to work this year at night on our home track...We need to go somewhere else and race just to get headed back in the right direction and get on a different racing surface....I know our prep program will work, just not at North Ga...? I still have lots of ideas just not enough time to try them. Maybe we should just to stick to day racing....?


Below is the link to the Stocklite heat race.....Our tires just wouldn't stick enough....?

Got to take the bad with the good....

Had a bad night at the track....Up side is I had Jeff Gordon in the office race pool....Good thing I'll need that $150 to fix what we broke at the track.

1st round of practice went well....Turned a 13.13...We didn't get any faster the rest of the night and I'm not sure the track did either.

2nd round we changed tires and slowed down to 13.30....Decided to keep those tires on anyway for the heat and the kart looked like it was gonna to be fast...Devin started 3rd in the heat and was right on the pole sitters bumper going down the back straight...He got his nose under her but backed off because he would have prolly taken her out if he would have held his line...Well none of the karts behind slowed down and proceded to plow there way thru....Devin ended up hitting a kart that was slideways on the front straight and the impact cause the chain to come off.

We got a controlled practice and went out for lite....2 laps and the LR wheel came off....Hub will need new studs and the wheel is shot...Rushed back to the pits and fixed it...We went back out with med and turned a 13.15...We thought we might have something for them....Only needed maybe another 10th to be as quick as anyone in lite....Made some last minute changes to the cross and one of the two spacers on the backside of the hub fell off...I didn't chatch it and that caused the wheel to rub against the spindle....Not only did that act as a break on the RF it also got the wheel so hot that it blew the tire out....End of the night for us.

Here are some videos from the 2nd points night at NGMS.
