Tom:
I drove Phillip's car a few laps in practice earlier in the summer at Albany.  It's a wake up call ain't it?  Probably been 5 years since I've been in one; used to run a Sportsman car at Senoia.  I had forgot just how busy you are in one of the little buggers!  You're even steering it down the front straightaway.
Man, I always hate to give the kid too much credit ;) - but it makes me admire his "drive" a little more when he makes that high run down the back straight.

Will we see a 2 car team in the future?
 :P  ;D ;D ;D

Uh-oh!  I see that our Admin. did a little driving last weekend instead of Crew-Chiefin'...  Trey better watch his mirrors - Pops is gonna be getting the fever back!

Oh yeah, he drove it all right, and I'm going to tell on him to ya'll!  ;D ;D  He spun her out on the last lap of the heat race, making Tweety come in third instead of last on his first heat race, and thanks for that, Tom.  :D

Then he got the fever!  He wasn't going to adjust the car for himself,  he said "I'm not going to touch it, I'm just going to drive it like it is", but sure enough after the heat lap he got the fever and Mr. I'm not going to touch it started tweaking with the setup! *LMAO*  He ran some great laps - 15.51 I clocked myself, that's FAST on our track!

Congratulations, Tom!  You know I have to kid with you after the "Oh, it's SUPPOSED to do that" thing with me!!  ;D ;D

Tom Cole:
No worries of me running it very often.  The kid got his attention drawn elsewhere that night and the car was just going to sit there.  So I figured what the heck.

It is a lot more comfortable to drive than my kart, but I missed the feel I get in the turn with the kart.

I said I wasn't going to touch it, but it had a little push coming off and with the temps dropping into the night, I was scared it was going to get worse.  Hey, I'm a setup guy, what did you expect!  ;D So I put a round in the RR.  It still wasn't enough.  I'm going to get a little bit heavier spring for the RR, and I think it will come off the turn faster.

Sometimes you gotta drive it to figure out how to make it faster.  It helps with our communication as a team.
