Thanks for getting some pit spaces Rich !
Guess I had better go out and look at that belt steering shaft.

I consider it the winners responsibility to write the race report. I finished 3rd so can only comment on other non race related happenings.
- Rich saved us all pit spaces. Brad and Paul didn't read Rich's announcement in the forum on pitting so pitted on their own
- It takes about the same amount of time to drive from Redding to Davis and it does San Jose to Davis
- I can change a Tundra headlamp bulb in less than 2 minutes
- A cheeseburger in hotdog roll tastes exactly the same as cheeseburger in a burger bun
- I STILL have an undrunk Budweiser rolling around in the bottom of my cooler
- The love of Doritos extends to all the male members of the Huston family
- My zipper on my race suit is completely f'ed up
That is all, please continue about your duties.

Winners bullet points
The 206 guys are a good group to race with
We upheld the World Formula honor ( well at least some of us ) on the front row
Jeff and Brad are still close in the points race. Coincidence that they did not pit near each other?
We had more karts on the grid than the whole Clone Fest
With as much as Jeff's wife is knitting in the pits. Are we all getting sweaters at the end of the season?
Felt and saw Leo's and Brad's bumpers all day but never wanted to look back
If Leo would get some consistent seat time, how fast would he actually be?
Brad is waving at me on the track again. Pretended not to see him
Family came to see me in the main, That's enough of that for a couple more years
Evidently my wife asked which one was me during the Jr.1 race
25 lap main ! Oh my aching back on Monday

Simon, you are hilarious. I myself was also surprised that a cheeseburger in a hotdog roll tasted the same. I was shocked.
Rich, why are you waving at Brad? Did something interesting happen? I hate missing races. Usually if I am there nothing out of the ordinary happens. But when I am gone, funny good stuff happens.
Jeff, I would start with a 6.2, or was that 5.0, maybe it was 3.9. On second thought, I would wait until I actually find my gearing sheet before you trust anything I have to say.

Thanks guys, for the countless times you've entertained us! Simon, that was funny, love the deadpan approach. Congrats Rich, setting the bar high, sounds like a good scrum. Just to be pro-active, I'll beat Jeff to the question, and post gearing for Dixon that we've used way back when. Would be interested as to how close it is. Thinking the tires were YHC's.

Sorry Jeff, my son crashed through our bathtub floor and now we're in bathroom remodel mode. Tires have to take a back burner for a while. I'll just run what I got till they fall off. Regarding gearing, I like to run a little higher ratio (numerically) and back it down as necessary depanding how well I come onto the front straight. Like Simon, I have installed the 13T driver so I can use the smaller size axle sprockets. I'll probably start at 4.6 ratio and go from there. Wow - I feel like Nostradomus or something! That's exactly what happened!  |
