car is in good shape.  almost had enough beverage last night to chop off tubes in the back and make more room for tool bags.  Got the new dewalt in but no room for 18v grinder, meh.


All too bags and fluids packed, she is race ready minus drinking water and occupants, ready to pull into trailer.  tonight will be a casual shopping and packing trailer night.


low oil pressure light installed also  ::)

No race for us. Wet motor issues.

we took 5th.  it was a shit show, not a single clean lap.


two krts tore up, a coil over bent, lost a tail light, bent steering ram, electrical issues, blew a banjo bolt off an lost brakes.   winch cable never came out all weekend. 

when running we were doing very well despite my failure in setting the back of the truck up way too low.

I was going to try and remember who we passed coming down Talisman and passed us back when we changed to tire and had the fan issue but I don't. At least not for sure.

If it was Lambert (an I think it may have been), our clean lap time would have been around 34:00 - which would be right among the fastest. shitty.

If you want a hand prepping anything before 101 let me know. I have a few loose ends with both my trucks but I can spare a night, I'm sure.

it will probably get washed and some coils put on the back on the back to fix the slamming


i think one of the front bumps is hosed too, or it lost pressure- only showing 3" of shaft.


ill be wishing i had the correct wheel studs to run the TSLs at jareds

What weight coils do you think you need?

I can get all your broken shocks and make a good one or 2 out of them, if you want. I have parts and seals and things to fix most of the problems.

Seems odd for the bump, lets investigate that a little more, It covered under warranty anyway.

I know we can make 2 good ones out of what you and I have, maybe all 3. We should at least replace oil and seals in the older ones, its been a while.  ;D

If you can be without them for a couple days, I can take the older ones and broken ones and fix them up and give them a re-build.

prerun was 125/150 and then went to 125/200, correct? Huge issue with not enough uptravel in both cases.

I think 150/200 with a dual rate stop present and set at 1-2", with 6-7" of shaft showing instead of 4" would be a goot place to start. I also think it could use more compression valving but that may be mainly a side effect of not enough spring rate.

I think the front felt pretty good.

my barely-informed 2¢
