Yea - you would think an .008 light would bring it home - but not at this track! Ben has been so good on the tree, with at least one .00X green light on each day of racing - until 6 weeks ago when we made a whole bunch of changes to the car to get it dialed into the 8.90 class. I will be unable to obtain a set of offset spindles for Ben's car by Friday, so plan 'B' is to launch at a lower idle rpm - which mechanically will tighten the throttle cable, so I'll need to add even more slack to compensate. I have to get him back to .00X lights because these kids are really good - there is a reason why MGR has won more Team Championships at the Eastern Conference Finals than any other track!
A trophy every once in a while helps to motivate us:
My Amanda has decided that she too would like to race a Jr Dragster - provided it is pink (purple might do in a pinch!) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img] . I hope to have an easier time with her, as both Ben and I have stumbled our way through this mess together - and she will be the recipient of our small amount of knowledge.
Danny loves to go along, but at 4.5 just can't hang in for the long haul!
