Ben was back on his game at Maple Grove this weekend, making it 2 in a row! We hit the Test n Tune sesson on Friday night because we really needed some run data on this combination in late evening weather, given that Saturday's race was a Twilight session where first round of elims starts at 4pm. Car was 'spot on' during Friday night testing, even after waiting it out in the staging lanes for street cars puking anti freeze...
Saturday was a completely different story! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img] The car couldn't 60' to save it's life, likely due to drastically different weather and traction conditions. So, we tuned, and tuned, and caught a break in first round when the other kid went red - since he was #2 on the ladder that gave us a bye run in round 2 - so we tuned some more. By now it's 7PM+ and the weather is coming right back to where it was on Friday night - the test data was invaluable! Ben was hitting the tree and driving the stripe, and 3 rounds later was hauling the hardware at 10PM! Danny was moral support the whole way. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
Final round staging, we were up against our friends / neighbors (we got them into this mess!)
Another 4 foot trophy!

Back to the pits to pack it up:
