I think Hank should stop worrying about the drivers in the other groups, and watch his own group so he doesn't repeat other's mistakes |

Congrats to you and Hank on the series win. I should have taken your advice and not mad major changes before the comp. Oh well you live you learn. The sad thing is my dig was working ok when I left the house. It just decided to crap out after going through the first gate on the first course. BTW after you left I mounted up the leopards and ran the shootout course and would have done great had I had dig. Oh well you live you learn. I look forward to the winter series.

Just a few pix from the comp. Broke chassis plate 2 days before the comp. Hank and I have have been very hard on this chassis. It took a really bad fall with a very odd twist forcing it to twist past the point of no return. No regrets, we still are very happy with the SSS chassis. It did win our series points race after all. Course 3 is the reason is were my driving all went to hell. |

Just a update or to on Hanks Axial. Hank marking the battery plate for speed holes lowered the battery plate and changed the links around a bit. BTA steering is still the poop. Tighter clearance but bad @ss all the same. |

One more thing. On the SSS chassis, maybe Hank is just slow but he just figured out that if shorten the Left Rear Lower just a little you can add preload to that torsen rod combating torque twist on steep climbs. Because of this Hank was able to lower the chassis side of the upper links and it just made the truck work better. |
