any race video on its way?
Yes but not for a while, my son does the raw production and then I do the final editing but he has Covid so I have no material to work with yet.

Good times racing with my new Buddy @Flash68 .
It was a long weekend and we were both sliding around on spent tires, but we hung in there to the end and a good time was had by all. Yes, more please.1f970.png

Hope he feels fine soon, I had my first Covid a few weeks ago/ young ones should get over it fast!!

He's 44 and strong as an ox. If he can get it, anyone can....including Dad.

So far, our two daughters had it, then my wife and I as well. But it was like a medium cold with two or three days in bed. Biggest problem was canceled flights as its hard to travel with a positive PCR, and that can go on for months after you recover!!!

OH....Right Front! Of course....how silly of me. Yes, the brakes are eating my tires up.
This was only the 4th heat cycle on R7's and they were completely gone.
You can see how slippery the car was and I was driving half throttle to keep the car under me.
I don't want to have to do that again. When the tires were fresh the car hooked up but they just aren't lasting these days.
