Race weekend recap:
We’re finding consistency, but the gremlins in the 21G continue.
Friday night at Plaza, we chased setup on a track that was completely different from what we’ve seen all year. Huge thanks to C-Paul for helping get the setup headed in the right direction so Greyson could be competitive. In the main, Greyson drove hard and kept the car under him. We believe we solved the overheating issue, but then ran into a fuel problem. About 15 laps into the main, the car began starving for fuel, forcing Greyson to pull in for another DNF.
Big thanks to Cody Samuels for coming by Saturday morning to help with a quick once-over and injector cleaning.
Saturday night, the setup was dialed in. After getting caught up in a wreck during the heat race, Greyson started 13th in the main. He drove up to 8th and was closing in on a few more cars when disaster struck again. The carrier in the rear gear broke off. We’re not sure if there was a pre-existing hairline fracture or if the earlier wreck caused it, but once again, we had to pull in with a DNF.
Despite the frustration of not finishing mains, we’re making progress. We’re growing, learning, and becoming a better race team every weekend. Greyson now has a setup he can really drive, and I’m gaining more confidence in making the right adjustments as track conditions change. I’m no longer throwing guesses at it, and I think Greyson is feeding off that growing confidence too.
This week’s agenda:
• Swap out the bent rear end
• Check or replace bearings
• Get ready for Race for Research Gala
• Be ready to race Saturday night at Lemoore Jet Bowl
We’re getting closer.
Special thanks to those that help the 21g ground the track.
