So bitter sweet

I just got home from the track today and it went awsome. I tried out my turpintine/mineril oil mix traction compund and I won both of my heats. I did notice a temp problem with my 13.5 though. My buddy who is sponsored by his buddys buisness said is I will all my races he'll drop my name and attempt to get me a sponsorship(no pressure eh).Going into the main I was in tq and poll position.

It went well until 3/4 through I flipped(first time I got marshalled) and the marshall signaled to me that the motor was very hot. I had a lap on the field and my buddy was watching me to make sure I really do win. I said screw it and kept going. The power was going down and the second place racer cougt up and we were neck and neck for about 3 laps. Final turn he bobbled and I took the win. Bad news is is bllew my 13.5(Pm sent linc)

I am working on the sponsorship but I need to spend $80 on a new 13.5(which I was going to spend on lincs motor for my buggy). Overall I think its a good track day.

Hey, a win is worth a burned up motor! Sounds like it was a nail-biter though...

Hmm, how exactly does a marshall signal a very hot motor?

Touching it and yelling holy crap?



Sorry, I don't have any tracks round my place, even if I did, no way I'd get there...

Anyways, a sponsorship (what company/business?) is definitely worth over a burnt out 13.5....

Then again.....

Maybe he touched it by accident, or he could maybe smell it?

Oh, and congrats!

Yea he touched it and the holding of his hand, staring at it in pain, and yelling "thats hot!" kinda gave it away. Its a sponsorship that will get me free painted bodys, pit boards, whatever and possibly some free entry's.

Thanks

Oh you bastard, wanna get me a couple bodies and pit boards?

Thats if I even get in there in the first place. Keepin' my fingers crossed
