August 24, 2003 Old Town

Day was pretty good, nice day. Gears and all the work during the week seemed to hold up ok. It was shifting into first and stayed running most the day. I only ran the 1st heat race, think I am going to have to run more in order to get a better feel for the track.

On the LD3 in practice broke a ball end off in the front left "A" arm, so drilled it all out and put JB weld in it and hope to be able to drill it out and use it again, as it is the Pro kit. Car seem to me to not have enough traction in the rear. Ryan said he thought maybe I needed 37 shore in the rear, I think the springs were too soft. I guess in time I will learn more about it though, not too concerned right now.

Well, in the race qualified 5th and ended up 4th. Josh Spencer finally got his first win with 22 laps. He is back to the Dominator with all Dom parts on it and Lee broke diffs in his so had to go to the HPI and he finished second with 19 laps. Robert Spence had 18 and I  had 17 laps. Corner guys were terrible and I lost about 2 laps being on my lid.

Think I will go about ordering a Dominator to play around and see if it will help some with things.

I came home and took the Sirio all apart and will meat it out some and see if it does any good next week as I don't think the Dominator will be in if I order one.

One more race in the Summer series and looks like I will finish 3rd right now.
