LOL
He was 'bicycling' coming out of 2 and 4, so they made it looser...but went just a tad too far for that next race.....
Confidence is an awesome thing.......and he just got that back today!!

Home from the track.... ....didn't get to finish the mains as the rain finally came in to stay.... However... the new car is a SUCCESS!!! Had a good day as Travis took the new car to a 3rd place finish in the C-main (relegated to the C-main due to an accident not of his doing in his heat - where he was keeping up with the top drivers in his division) and then finished 8th in the B-main. That's his first time in a B-main, and while not as good a run as the C (adjustments made the car go the wrong way), he finished on the lead lap. He also passed cars on the track for the FIRST TIME SINCE NOVICE SCHOOL. Trevor's heat was pretty good....but that was all he raced today. YEAH.... Keep working on it....  |

Wow...I never got back here.......oops!
So, we had another full weekend of racing just this past weekend.....
Travis (the one with the new car) timed in at 11th out of 24 drivers/cars - this is a great improvement over trophy race day - when he timed in around 25th of about 29 cars. This put him on the pole for the C-main - first time he didn't start in the lowest main. He managed a 4th place finish after a heated battle with the eventual winner of the whole weekend (didn't time in and never should have been in the lower mains). He didn't give up - which ticked off the other kid and so, in the B-main, he proceeded to give extra little nudges. One thing - my kid never forgets....So, he did not make it into the A-main but it was a pretty good weekend. His time was also 3 one hundredths faster than any time he's had in the last 3 years of racing.
Trevor, the oldest, never made a time - he forgot to put fuel in the tank (something I guarantee will never happen again). He started 7th in a field of 8 for the A-main (the 8th car didn't time in). He has a tough time with all his weight - but he held on for a 6th place finish.
One of the parents of his division wants to approach the leadership of the club to have a fun race for the kids in his group - he wants all the other drivers to have to add weight to their cars so that they weigh the same as he does. He told his son that he'd lay a wager that Trevor would whip 'em all because they'd have no clue how to handle a car that weighed that much more...LOL
Overall, a decent weekend....
We're off for the next two weeks for Dover and a family camping trip....
