Jim, why in the world do you wear gloves to paint but you drive a race car without fire resistant gloves? Here in Pa. you wouldn't do wheel pack without full safety gear. Thanks for sharing the pics and video, but, I don't want to see you without gloves again! One 'quick' flare-up of fire and those working hands become painfull charred meat! I've seen it TOO often....

I assume you are loading the T/O with the tabs folded under each other under a post so only one tab is out?
Another trick to tearoffs is, use .003 non laminated t/os and when you need fresh , put thumb and for finger across the sheild (from eye to eye) and pinch together with pressure to the shield one tear-off should tear right off a post. I've seen some guys put a small tab of duct tape on each T/O. giving more body to feel. |

3 part feature..camera womans phone died...not quite the whole 20 laps..I sucked and car loose...I over drove the car twice...2nd time caused a guy to hit my drivers door and it knocked my #3 plug wire off reflected in part 3 video...I think I finished 7th..If at times I fell back...that's when I couldn't see and was trying to fix that...then after the plug wire came off at the end I was debating whether to pull in or not? I stayed out and tried to pick the pace back up but not on 7 cyl...

Always learning....1st race I was overly cautious and found when running the bottom don't try and hug those big azz tires they shove out there...2nd race I was less cautious...misread the track before the feature because we could have made a change on the car to tighten it(and was prepared to and didn't)....And when you get a new go pro...don't decide to leave your gloves in the truck

If it were me, I'd have left my helmet in the truck too…

Raced Kankakee last night..not much to report..I had a brake failure in the heat(broken fitting) so I just did the best I could..I started in the back and ended up 4th...plugged it off for the feature to start and get paid..pulled in after 2 laps...wasn't worth the risk..Ill have some video later...too bad the way the feature ended up I coulda woulda shoulda have been right up there in the front...

I ran my last race of the year with the vintage guys at Peoria Speedway. I started in the back and ended up 3rd in the heat. Started on the pole for feature...I would have done much better starting on the top :roll: I held on for a few laps till the muscle came through...With all the yellows it ended up heating up the temp guage and didn't want to go back down under power so I ended up pulling in on the next yellow...not worth it for 100 bux...I MAY try and run macon speedway in a week or 2 with the sportsman if I can borrow a gear. But most likely done for the year...I'm already lookin at my Gremlin. :smile:
