We were out with the Bando again on Friday night. Not such a great night. The car is horrible, extremelly tight coming off the corner. Took some wedge out and made it tighter ???. Kinda has me baffled right now. Came home with an 11 place finish and stripped a drive sprocket coming off of turn 2 on the white flag lap. Car is still in one piece.

Geoff,

Sounding like the way to go is the go kart approach (more or less sliding through the turns).
 ???

We spent the night at the track last night. We now have a better car but it is still off. I cannot make the car drive as well as the boy. I am looking for some setup help if anyone is interested in sharing with me. We run a flat track and I cannot get the car to turn from the center off. Any ideas?? I cannot wait until he car run legends ;).

Had a good night on Friday. Brad was away to a football camp so I filled the seat with a 15 year old go kart racer. It was the only way to get a kid of similar size  ;). With a few practice laps and a little coaching we got him up to speed with a couple of adjustments (3rd in the heat and 5th in the feature). This confirmed my thoughts on the problems we have been having. The car is fine the problem is with my driver. The line he is running on the track is making the car look tight to me and he is not properly relating the information to me. Thankfully I know where to go now and what I need to help him with more. We will have this problem sorted out, thanks to those who tried to help.

Well went to Illiana for my first time the engine was slow but it is a slow track I started 2nd and took the lead because the pole sitter lost a chane. But i am new at this track so i drove it in to hard into turn 3 and spune out of turn 4. I restarted 4th and got a great jump and out of  turn to i was 2nd i got the lead a lap later and pulled away to win at Illiana my first try. I am putting a video on youtube will put the link on when its done.

Then went to the fast high banks of grundy and was slow in practice and in the heat my engine lost horse power and smoke was blowing out the catch can. If any one knows what it might be plz tell me

Satureday good Sunday very very bad
