Weekend update:

Dennison - started 8th finished 6th in the heat, 6th finished 5th in the feature. Corning gears in the car kept me too far down in the rpms and found timing off by a considerable amount. First time there, fun interesting track. One line in the heat somewhat racey in the feature pretty rough. Started figuring it out towards the end.

Went to Eagle raceway last night - starter exploded so missed the heat race. Got it fixed and ready to roll off p14 in the B. Pretty disappointed in the track surface, it was looking decent to me then the wrecked it for us trying to farm it. Ended up with a greasy bottom, dry slick rutted to p**s middle, and greasy top. Really crap shoot of a surface. Live timing isn’t accurate drove up and finished 5th one spot out of the invert. Car finally feels like it’s coming together thanks to everyone involved in the recent struggles. Scotty for fixing the rearend. Excited to see what I can do with a smooth track.

Some reason the GoPro is only recording what it wants now, only have the heat race.

Tom started 6th and finished 4th in the heat race. Some adjustments to the car he didnt like and made a change back before the feature, paid off and drop from 11th to 3rd. Pretty good battles in the hobbies.

Stock car started 2nd in the heat and finished 1st. Insanely tight hard to drive car fortunately the others were held up by traffic. Tossed the kitchen sink at the car, went 2nd to 13th in the feature. Somethings binding, car goes tight snaps loose. Driver error took it off the backstretch and stayed in it when shouldnt of, backed it into the bank and bent a ton of stuff. Hard hit and props to track crew for quick response. Drove out of it. Car was just evil all night.

5-9-26 update - ACS - GoPro fail no videos.

Tom started 5th in the heat and drove a fast hot rod up to take home the win.

For the feature Tom started 8th and fought up towards the front being held up on some traffic that seems to struggle with a slick track, being spoiled with hammer down all last year. Ultimately finished 5th.

For stock car, started 2nd and led 4 laps before a caution. Turn 1 of the restart, a failed slider for a meaningless position gain (top 4 draw re-draw) ended the heat race. Finished 6th. Bent wheel, ruined tire, buckled door bar, bent trailing arms and rear-end housing.

Instead of drawing for likely a top 5 starting position in the feature, ended up starting 17th with a bent racecar. Drove to 9th, slid off the track missing turn in mark due to dust. Drove from 15th back to 9th and did it again. Restarted 13th and ended up 10th. Track was slick and car lacked drive on exit.

Track was nice and smooth, Dry slick to hammer down any day. The dust was pretty bad, safety crews did a great job all night. In opinion, some work needs to take place still on either lack of care or favoritism. Some cars can jump starts, run over 3-4 cars in one corner and get cheered on, others can take another out with a slider and the recipient is the only one who gets dealt the shaft. Once you roll into tech, it doesn't stop there, some obvious things are overlooked seemingly intentionally while others are clear as day illegal from a test in front of everyone yet no worries, its fine here. Finally changes get made and things seem to be looking up, hopefully improvements continue and calls, penalties will actually be made to prevent this from being a place where you can run illegal motors, demo derby off others equipment, and bull your way to the front off the starts. Grew up going to ACS and watching there, I remember 120-130 cars for regular shows. Now specials are lucky to see 100. Sad to see it, but also starting to see why..

5-2-26, Toms heat race, started 5th finished 2nd. Feature started 11th finished 7th. had a fast car just needed a caution to group everyone back up after getting through traffic.

Still working kinks out of the stock car, heat race finished 4th and feature finished 7th. had a fast car but couldnt go anywhere. Not enough grip for me on the bottom to make a pass and had to lift an insane amount for everyone around the top. Got tied up in a wreck.

Last weeks heat race, no RR shock. no video from feature

Long post Catching up -

Corning past weekend - Draw re-draw - special thanks to the track, finally seems like drivers were heard. A smooth multi lane racetrack. I can’t remember the last time I didn’t have to go hard with the mud scraper or lug the car around a hammer down racetrack. Nice surface to let the drivers do the work not the horsepower.

Tom started 5th in his heat and pushed up to 3rd.

Onto the A he started 8th and finished up in 4th. Seemed like the car was the best it’s been in awhile fine tuning from here.

Derek started 3rd and finished 3rd in the heat. Fought a massive pogo issue and extremely poor handling car.

Onto the A started 5th ran 3rd most of the night still the existing issue in the car, finished 9th. Ended up finding the RR shock was not bolted to the rearend at all, explains the issue and should be resolved and able to be competitive in future runs.

Earlier-

Took the stock car to Eagle for the Ice Breaker on Friday the 17th. Second ever trip to Eagle. 153 entries and 40 stock cars.

Muddy track for hot laps couldn’t get a feel for anything. Started 8th in the heat, had to check up twice for others once stalling the car. Finished 6th. Had to run the C. Started outside pole and checked out from there. 4 laps in the car completely went away. Thought it was the rough track just getting worse. Changed my driving a ton slowed a ton nothing helped. From half a track to finishing second. Had to run the B, we nearly missed it. Started from a stop in turn 2 as they took the green. special thanks to Anthony and Kelly for getting us out there. 14th to 6th, would have taken the invert in 5th if not for a late caution.
