Jim Holden Jim the best race car drivers in the world, better then half are dead. I race the same way you do buy starting at the back of the pack and feeling out the car. run 3-4 laps and bring it in. If everything is OK save it for time trails. Unless someone is timing you on every lap and nobody get in the way of slowing you down, you just beating up the car. I will start check tire temps this year to see how the alignment is. I am there to have fun, help other racers, bench race, and bring the car home in one piece. One problem, I keep hitting deer bodys out in Wheeling, 2 years in a row. 4 total. Thank GOD the truck is 4 wheel drive, the problem is the trailer has a 4" drop axle for the cobra. I wrap it well with moving blankets and tarps to protect it from stone clips from the truck but the deer are a different problem. I will get an enclosed trailer in a year or two. It rains every year I have gone out there. This is normal. Washed the truck 1 week ago and we got 4 inches of snow One thing Jim, Why is it always the driver that screws up and never hear the the car had a fault?? Lawsuit? Airplane bussiness is the same, always the pilot never the plane. You made me Hungry. I am going to eat. Rick Lake
