We ran, he did ok, i never could get the car lose enough with all the rain Thursday night the track was super fast. Had a push on entry if he even thought about lifting. It would rotate if he carried a ton of speed, sometimes.

Ended up breaking a water pump in qualifying, hit a big hole and it broke. I think it shoved the fan thru the shroud at impact, and broke. Now i am a little worried about the engine, how long it ran without a pump etc, he finished the lap after it broke in 1 & 2.

We're going back thou, he liked the track said it was blast to hammer down thru the turns. Now i gotta figure out how to get it loosened up enough up there so it will turn on the gas !

Thanks for posting how it went. Good luck when you make it back...

Would be a good time to get travels and do smasher work, Sounds like he was entering on the gas on turn in so thats going to be where you have to vary your adjustments those are way different then off gas entry,

Hopefully you had fun and didn't hurt the engine. We sometimes forget racing is supposed to be fun with all the drama and expense of this sport.

Oh yeah, a lot of fun to be had at Eldora. The track is interesting all the speed is turning LOL. I think he could of run a 16.3 to 16.4 or so without the big hole hit. Otherwise i gotta get the car looser, back to the scales etc.

I tell ya what, its hard to feature how fast them guys are. He could probably turn a 16 flat to 16.2 on that track if i had the car free enough but that would be .8 to 1 second slower than TQ, hard to figure out how they go that fast LOL.

Oh well, we do what we can and keep it fun.

Well with a lot of help from a 4m member we hit 16.286 in the 1st show Saturday at Eldora. Once i got the whole package on the car in the second show in hot laps we went a 15.843 and i was really happy with that. We made some big improvements. The car really responded well.

One thing about Eldora, you really need to have stuff prepared. A lot of different tires ready and sized. You just dont have a lot of time to make the changes you need to when you have to run the Bs. So next year, more prep.

I had the spoiler laid back when the track was fast, big help with speed.

Big thanks to all for the Tips ! Eldora is a lot of Fun, but a lot of work too !! LOL
