Haddow is going to rip it up this Saturday. The dominance starts here.

I know what you are all think right now (this guys an idiot) but I have been "pulling up lame" on purpose so you guys can build your confidence. I got myself in the C main last week and that was my goal so here it comes boys.  It would be no fun just laying the smack down right from the beginning.

When you see the "green and white" behind you, you will also hear the announcer yelling "leader" so move TF over please.

I am totally serious, like always.

Haddow

Mr Haddow, we have never questioned that you bring it. Its just can you bring it for a full 8 minutes instead of only 4-5. Har Har

Jody was running diff balls inside the damper tubes to actually create performance problems in the car. He used only a small piece of servo tape to hold the servo down. And then, of course, Jody wasn't actually controlling his car from the stand. It was a sock puppet outside the gym that was driving, hence the "driving by feel" approach.

Who am I to talk! Servo, T-plate, and an axel in one night. Yikes. Let's see what the Knife can do against the good Dr Do-Little.  :P

I would provide a list of stuff that broke on my car when I crashed out of the C-main but the list would take up too much space on the irocc webserver.

I have a brand new car to beat on (um, I mean dominate with) this week.

I thought adding balls to the damper tube increased the "roll" centre.

All hail Dr. "Excuse-me-while-I-open-a-can-of-whoopass." Great racing on Saturday, Jody.

Thanx it has been awhile since I have been in the A-main. Whoop ass might not be the word for it but hopefully I can stay in the A for awhile. It is tough qualifying in the B (and C). The B and bottom of the A is a crazy a battle every week both indoors and out.

Good work to you as well Phil, my only goal in the A was to keep you behind me and that wasnt easy. Next week we should pick on Daryl, he is too old to be that fast!     j/k daryl...about being fast that is. LOL

Thanks for the compliment, Jody. Obviously, age doesn't get me the respect that I deserve so you had better bring a bigger can of "whoop-ass" with you next week because this old man intends on staying ahead of that green(puke) car again.
