Sometimes your kids just make you extremely proud.
Night 1 of the SRT challenge at Cycleland Speedway - Chico Ca was one of those times.
As we build our not book for the new NPK Nevin's Precision Karts chassis we are working to find speed any where we can. Working for hundredths of a second.
Last night we did multiple gear changes, worked on chassis setup, and even air/fuel tuning.
With a less than desirable racing surface, both kids had their work cut out for them. It was rough in spots and slick in others, with a car that would push the front end on entry alex found a way to finesse the steering wheel to make it work until we could address the problems one at a time.
Emmery too, she told me exactly what the car needed each time she came off and we chased it until it felt right. And the results show we nailed it as she finished within the top 10 fastest box stock drivers in the west!
At one point in the A main alex cought a break when a red flag came out and we were allowed to pit our cars while they cleaned up the wreckage. When I got to him he was beat, tired , sweating and heart racing with arm cramps from being hot on the wheel. But he had no intentions on giving in. We made a quick rear axel adjustment and they blew the horn. After one hard final push to the checkers alex finished 10th, his 3rd top 10 finish in the 250cc class.
Thank you to everyone one who keeps helping us find speed
