Brett, you're supposed to do that at the end of the season  :(
Keep your eye on the big picture, man, you're OK.
Real life trumps racing anytime.

Take care,

Sorry to hear about the throttle sticking Brett.  Glad you are OK.

Has anyone tried welding a toe bar on the throttle so it can be pulled back if it sticks? 

Good job Jeff and Alex on the wins last weekend.

Toe Bar wouldn't help with a cable.

This is going to be opening weekend for the 77w car. I hope all goes well. As Paul Harvey would say stand by for the rest of the story.

Ethan,

Congrats on getting home in one piece (both you and the car)!
I hope you, and the car, are gaining some valuable experience.
Best Wishes!

Friday, Chilton, I had a few off track experiences. Once in the heat race and again in the main missing a spin. Started first in main but that didn't last long, just couldn't get off turn 2. Ended up 10th.

Saturday, had a decent run. I think I started 17th and finished 13th. I was in 11th through turn 3 coming to get the white but ended up 13th :( Too many yellows, was lucky not to be in any of them. Next on my things I NEED to buy is a set of tires. I think that would help out a good amount. Time to use the '05's as spares

5/30/09 Beaver Dam, WI. I got 5th in my heat which got me a spot in the a main. The a main didn't start off good and got worse. Spun 11 laps in barely keeping up with the rear of the field, which then caused me to get into another car which brought out the caution. Noticed the toe got knocked out, so just rode out the remaining 9 laps avoiding a DNF. The track was pretty rough and my car just didn't stick to the bottom and couldn't drive it up top, so hopefully i have a better night on Tuesday.

Hi E-man,

Sorry to hear about that!!! Hope you will not have much to repair.
DJ told me you got your car scaled... Hopefully that will give you a bit better information on your set up.
Remember that the track changes throughout the night; So adjust your car accordingly. Watch the condition of the track.
Check some of the older threads for things you can adjust  to make slight improvements throughout the night.
I can send you some links if you need them.

BTW,
That LegendsRacer decal on the hood looks awesome!!!
Thanks for helping to promote the site!  ;)
I'll post the pic when I get time to resize it.
Can't say enough about that new avatar either!
Very Nice!!!  ;)

Best of Luck on Tuesday!!!

Theres nothing Ethan could have done different. The track was garbage. One lane way down low, the rest was undriveable.

Me-6th in the Heat, 3rd in the B to transfer, 16th in the A. We are running with the sprint cars on Tuesday, they usually have their own people come in and set the track up so it's usually a pretty nice surface.

So far this season my feature results have pretty much sucked.  But on the bright side, I still have been having fun and haven't banged up the car at all.  Hopefully this week I will get the carbs cleaned and maybe that will cure one of my problems, the other being a tired motor.  That solution might have to wait till Winter.

I never even thought of a LegendsRacer decal for the car.  I will have to get one made up too.  Great idea.
