0 and 5


That's right, another disappointing weekend in a long string of DNF's.  Four of them to be exact with a newly earned DNS this past Sunday.  Yep, it's gotten so bad for us that now our days are over before the green flag ever falls on us!  And with three races to go in our season we might be tempted to throw in the towel at this point and just cut our losses.

The problem with that is in quitting itself.  It's nothing I've ever done and nothing I want to teach my kids to do.  But when you've explored every conceivable option to eradicate this problem, and thrown countless amounts of money at it, you have to draw the line somewhere and just accept defeat.

So for now we're more or less in a holding pattern.  I've agreed to travel to St. Charles Illinois to drop the chassis off at a shop that guarantees they'll get to the root of our problem.  We'll most likely miss our next scheduled event at Badger Raceway this Sunday but I think this is a small price to pay for hopefully an answer and our piece of mind.
