Cool It's good to be King, STILL!!!

Contrary to popular belief, or Mikes rumor, the King is NOT dead....

Car 509 on Left



I will also say that I have more. The track was not prepped well and was really greasy. On top of that it was cold so traction was a challenge, again. But Dan and I did have a good time since we were able to just go round and round on the track since nobody was there.

It was also a challenge finding the right launch point with the new tires. I spent a lot of time trying to figure it out. I also figure out that they are not balanced correctly which also caused issues.

So all in all it was a good test and tune night for Dan and I. We had a lot of fun and were both encouraging each other. If I had more fuel and time I might have gotten an even lower time.

We shall see. As you keep pointing out you can have all the power but you still need to put in down and post up the numbers. So far you haven't posted ANY NUMBERS!!!!!

I just got the tires last week....it's been raining nonstop. I would have gone yesterday, but it was my oldest son's birthday.

All my supension work is done...( the day at 66 showed almost .5 drop in my 60' on the P-Zeros ) I've got the tires, and Friday I'm headed up to the track. Why not meet me up there?

Timeslips to follow, please have my crown ready.
