April 10-12, 2005 SCCA National Tour

 

Sunny

Well, did a little better this time. Because Clint (Speedy) McMahan was disqualified for being too light, I managed to finish 2nd behind Chris Eckles (first time I've lost to him) by .246 seconds after about 82 seconds of runs. Close. It was very apparent in some pictures (see below) that Jim's car has way too much positive camber and apparently tire pressures that were WAY too low. This is the first time we've run on the new Hoosiers and we obviously need to adjust pressures to help prevent rollover.

Once again, Matthew's kart could not keep up with the fastest kart. Duane seems to think it might be a bad clutch and is looking into a new dry clutch. Nevertheless, he finished 2nd.
