Three wheels just don't cut it
Category Four-wheeled toys MARRS Race Video
After the elation of proving that both the new car and I were capable of great things after such a long layoff, the following day, Labor Day 2007, proved to be a bit of a disappointment. When building the newcar, the old car was gutted and provided every "good" piece of hardware it could.
Unfortunatley, that hulk of a shell sat out in the fall, winter, and spring weather, wreaking havoc on lubricated items like wheel bearings. I started 2nd in class and knew from almost the beginning of the race that something felt "off," when I could not pass Bryan Pritt's Integra. After a number of laps, I got the telltale clunking, but felt I could finish the race. It got so bad that once I had passed Bryan, I felt the left-rear tire completely seize. My day was done on lap 14 (of 16), finishing 19th out of 20 in ITA.
