you guys going to try this again?????????

kingmod5 · 12/29/11, 9:33 PM

Try this again? If it wasn't such a drive it wouldn't be a bad idea for go run some with USMTS. Where can you get American Racer tires around here?

Bill Gardner · 12/29/11, 10:33 PM

I think Brian wants to go back to deer creek. We'll see what happens. I was hoping they would expand there schedule a little farther east this year but they didn't.

The AR tires were sold at the track when we went last July. They're a big change from what guys r use to here in indiana.

Bill,

Is there anything you had to change other than the different tires?

Bill Gardner · 12/30/11, 10:59 AM

We had the USMTS spec heads so we could run the 8" wing and didn't have to add the weight behind the motor.

We didn't have to make that many last minute changes. A few minor front body panel adjustments.

We went up to Minnesota a weekend early so we could race a couple local shows on the new tires. One at Deer Creek on the Saturday before and then Sunday at Kasson, Mn (Dodge County Speedway). We camped all week in the pits at Deer Creek Speedway. The promoters there are great people!

Please don't take all of this to the bank... I didn't do any of the work, I just sat around and acted like a boss

Brian can better answer more specific questions.
