Thanks for the ideas guys.

I scaled the car and made quite a few changes on the scales and discovered many things that I did not expect. I set the car up using that info gathered on the scales, and the car was the best it has been all year. Started 8th in the heat and finished 2nd (racing non wing with midgets and mini sprints together)got beat by the midget that started on the pole. Led the 1st 13 laps of the feature until a bad decision while passing lapped traffic, let 2 midgets and one mini sprint by me, for a 4th place finish.

Dad- you are absolutly correct in that this car will not work with the right rear way out. I had it in at 16" and it was awesome. Track rubbered up a bit and the car was a bit tight for the latter part of the feature, but all in all it was good.

Sometimes I suffer from the idea that I should copy what other guys do. I forget to realize that every chassis is different, every chassis requires a different setup, and every driver likes a car setup differently. I just need to remember that my car does what it does , regardless of how others setup their car.

One of the things I find interesting about lightning sprints, is there are numerous chassis designs, since some once were midgets, some are old, some are new, and they all differ in so many ways. Unlike some other forms of racing, we are still being creative in what we make/adapt to these cars to make them faster.

Had I not made a bonehead split second lapped traffic error, I may have won that race , and the time spent using the scales helped that out.
