We ended up getting the RU. My opponent was on fire throughout eliminations. She had .006, .005, .006 lights and a .010 in the final. Her 2nd round package was .009 and a .006 in the semis. I just got my azz handed to me in the final, with my worst light of the weekend.....still a good outing though.

ya she was actually too good...I would protest her lol

Nice job Brian!!

Thanks Barry!

Bender, great job !!! Your over do for a win ....

I watched the live feed and the car was leaving nice. Well except for the final round where it looked like you had to do a little driving.

Good job Brian!

Thanks guys, it was a "get well" weekend after struggling at the first race of the year and getting those issues fixed only to go red 1st round at the next race.

Moe, the changes I made to the car have it working as good if not better than when I was running half a second slower in the 1/8th. In the final it got loose down track this car never does that, so there must have been a little something on the track. But my light was the biggest factor in getting the "L".

Hmm, let's see, last race the driver went red, this time he was a little late in the final, there seems to be a pattern here .....

Just need to find a happy medium between red and late

Moved the engine 2" forward and changed the engine angle

That’s getting after it!
Curious, how much weight did it move forward?

we did that with a couple of my crew chiefs as well and it worked out great

Barry, there is no simple answer to that. Moving the engine forward added 40 lbs to the front wheels, but I had over 50 lb of weight in the nose I have now removed that completely so it's actually 10 lb lighter on the front wheels than it was last year.

It's the FM principle..

OK, I gotta ask, FM?

Forward Motion?

Fast Motor?

Frequency Modulation?
