You do not have to win them all as Whiskey says  ;)  but being on the podium almost every time usually wins any championship over several rounds  :ThumbsUp:

Anyway you're doing great William (and Dave too)  :cheers:

Yeah I know I have been a little slack lately  :lolb:. Great job William. Really good to see everything still progressing during our crew chiefs absence. Just remember; racing is a lot like fishing: you aren’t always going to be catching fish or winning races, but, it’s the “hope of” that keeps you coming back. As a good spotter would say: just stay cool and keep doing what you are doing  :ThumbsUp: :ThumbsUp:.

Summer is here   did a outdoor club race yesterday and although I spent the day thrashing...we won both classes
Next race series locally is the Thursay night throw down points series.      Well run 4x4mod buggy and pro4..well use this series as prep for the national race in the fall.   This track will be very fast with 2 sweepers.....well be chasing some set up  but we have the cars for it.

Yikes  :o. Somehow I don't think William will like the thought of less motor though. Does the sponsor have any ideas?

Proline makes a wheel, but I know already it won't take the power, I've discussed this with them, as they are a sponsor of ours, and they're OK with us running the DE wheels.

4x4 mod buggy Action.   Last Thursday night during the second night of the points series.

At the 3 minute mark, he goes a bit wide at the end of the straight and performs a wall ride, and brings it back down on it's wheels and keeps going like nothing happened

Pretty cool Dave. It's nice to enjoy things together with your kids.

I kind of lost out there. I had daughters who were into music and cooking. I can't even whistle and my go to dinner is boxed mac-n-cheese.
On the other hand...I was the guy who knew how to fix boo-boos, get the sock seam across toes comfortably, kill bugs, fish things out of toilets, etc.

HOWEVER...DAVE...when do you get back in the shop?  ;D
