I just started a new job and I have been extremely busy with school and work lately.. I don't think we are going to make it to this one. Good luck!

I went out in the 4th RD. Let just say I confirmed that I am a Big Time Dumb A$$ this morning. I was losing power in my car from the 1st TT to the 4th RD. When I put the motor back in before the HRP points race last week. I forgot to plug in the plug to the alternator. I have been running the car without full power for 2 weeks now.

Why? My car is a great bracket car.

By the way it looks like the next big money race at PV will be July 24th.

I like the idea of the carb set up better but we'll see. Only the 2nd weekend out with the car. I most likely will come up for the next race. The tracks a little off. Right lane i can set my box to get a .00 light and left lane It'll be a .030. Lot of electronic guys were saying the same thing. No idea whats wrong
