A pretty uneventful weekend in general. I learned that the slew of sprockets that I purchased and brought to the track were not the right ones for our application. Knowing this we had to forge ahead with basically the same set-up as last week. Sam was not very happy with the fact that he'd be chasing his tail again this weekend. Aside from experimenting with tire pressures we had nothing in our arsenal to help us get further up with the top two runners in our class.
Well 3rd place always sounds good on paper but when you factor in that no one else showed up other than the three of us, it paints a totally different picture. We'll take it though. I promised him we'd pick up the correct parts and head out to practice this weekend before our next race and hopefully we'll have a little more exciting news to report next week. Beating the top running driver may be a stretch, but once I understand this new kart a little more I have all the faith in the world in him and his ability to compete more closely with them.
