One more practice session tmrw and then the green at 3.
The race should be interesting... The banking is fun... Def have to get on the wheel going through 3/4 but the RC is unreal around the banking....but I have even been on new tires on it yet.
The crew battled some things that happen to the car at 150 ....
Worked on chassis a lot in practice today..
Bryan did a great job once again in qualifying.
The entire team is working hard together...it could get interesting
;)
Stay tuned

Slingshot... Engage! Shake and bake baby.

Good luck in the race! :tup:

I was looking for how they fixed the problems, just what the problems were at 150.

So passenger side rear coilover gave out?

That's what it looked like to me too. I don't think the mechanics intentionally setup the car with that side completely slammed.

Hope they can get back in it and fight their way back into the lead, Brian's lap times were looking really good

They are still in the garage at the moment. Not sure if they can get back in the lead pack without some cautions getting into the mix

Weeeelp.... F the Monkey.
This mornings session we used it for some last minute chassis adjustments for a warmer track than we had in qualifying.
After some in and outs and changes we threw down a 1:21.2 and was very stoked for the race
Bryan had a great start clawing his way back to the lead after dropping to 3-4 on the start (lack of torque)
As the race was progressing we started to go into conservation mode early ..dropping back to p2 (we had +15 on p3)
Brian liked the changes we made in morning warmup and had settled into a nice pace.
In turn 3 he drifted out and the right rear hit the exit curbing and possibly a hole on the back side of it.
As soon as the tire ran over the curb / and or hole..the RR shock broke/snapped.
Game over.
