Ok practice lap i finished and felt good. First race i put in a time thst was in the top twenty. Second run i was asked to stop as id finished but the time was 299 seconds so was robbed a lap and 15th overall position, so was 20th at this point. Third run rear belt layshaft pulley inner section broke off so no drive to the rear wheels. After a quick rebuild and admit due to tiredness i didnt space the layshaft correctly and due to this moves left and right which isnt good and also rear diff bed in and due to that needs spacing to stop the large 2mm movement left and right in the gearbox. I decided to take a gamble and replace the pulley only. Fourth run put in a great run to put me 19th overall, timewise i was on for 14th until brainfade and rolled it.
Still went from 9th to 2nd for a few laps only to roll down to fourth and lost that by .10 second which meant 15th overall was the best i could do. Still the Feeling is the cars improved dramatically, slipper needs a vts and a tub chassis is needed but can compete with some good drivers now so aim to make it better so im right on the pace. I was a lap off the top boys and as i dont practice and just do one race a year shows its getting there.
I used the middle bottom hole on my rear hub to raise it and cut the inner and outer rows off the front tires and thats it.
