All done with Indy

Unfortunately we lost in third round at Indy.

But the good news is that we got home early Sunday evening.

We did find a couple of issues that need addressed on the car, nothing that affected our perfromance in Indy. That was all us. Some wounds are worse when self-inflicted..But we are still learning about the car, and what it can do. Soour  next time out should be better.

It appears that the extra weight we had to add to make our class weight,  has affected our suspension. So we need to think about making a minor change, well maybe not such a minor change, to the suspension. But, time will tell

A couple of days before Indy, we removed the original front hubs and brakes, and installed a complete Strange Engineering front hub and brake system. But something is still just not quite right yet. So some phone calls and a few tweaks should take care of things. The front end wobble we had before installing the Strange brakes did go away. So the change wasn't a total loss. In fact it looks like a good move, but we just need to get a couple of answers and we should be just fine.

And one more thing. It appears that my car has gotten younger. It is a 2010 now, when all along, I thought it was a 2009.

Wish I could age in reverse like that!
Until Next Time... Race Safely, and God Bless!
