TXJay, Be careful when making steer adjustments to your fdw. It only takes a small amount of turn on the steer axle to can make a big difference in performance.

Had plans to mail in wd40 with needles for this weekend's race. While testing earlier this week, one rear wheel retainer came off during a run and slammed car into timing tower. Needless to say it was not pretty. Body stayed in tact, but I can't say the same thing for the wheels and new needle axles. It bent 2 of 3 axles pretty good....unfortunately it was not the ones I wanted or needed bent. Back to the drawing board...maybe next time. Good luck to all in this new class. Ed

Just thinking....which can be dangerous for me sometimes. ;D
This question might be more towards Glenn or anyone with cnc lathe experience. How much slower is a good set of mold matched virgin new wheels compared to the SAME set of wheels prep on cnc lathe? I know it will vary due to the mold #, but there are some really good virgin wheels available.
You could also prep the bore for bushings and run the virgin wheels with the needle axles. Then pull them off with axles still in car, prep them in the cnc lathe and reinstall. This way you could minimized any differences associated with alignment/steer.
Has anyone tried either of these and would be willing to share results. thanks.

Scruffy21,
Speaking from personal experience, Carolina has helped me more than you can "shake a stick at". I have been to his barn several times and not once has he asked for money. I have offered several times, but it went on deaf ears.
If Carolina tweaks it, I'm sure you will not embarrass yourself. ;D
Welcome back and congrats on your nephew's success!

UPDATE: We received word this morning all his cultures came back negative for bacteria. It is confirmation he has viral and not bacterial meningitis. This is good news.... he will be released early evening *** *** TODAY *** ***. Since the virus will have to run its course, they are sending him home with some good drugs for his headaches. He is expected to be out of work all this week.
Thanks for your prayers and concerns.

Just a note, I had planned on mailing heartburn to la's race, but my brother became very ill. It started some earlier in the week and progressed to the point they admitted him to the hospital on Friday. He was having severe headaches, neck stiffness, nausea. They did a ct scan, spinal tap and determined he has spinal meningitis. They suspect it is viral and not bacterial...which is good, but we are still waiting for the cultures to come back to run out bacterial. Please keep him in your prayers and thoughts.

WOW!! what can you say... everybody brought the heat. Congrats to all, especially the winners. If this month was an indication for the remainder of 2010,...then all I can say is "hold on".
Overall I was very pleased with heartburn, but I still have a ways to go to catch the top dogs.
A couple weeks ago, I was having major issues with new wheels and grooved axles. Glenn graciously provided another option regarding axles and yes, it helped ;D
I also decided to experiment with a stock, virgin set of $2.00 yellow wheels. Straight out of the bsa tube, except for bore polish, it picked up almost .02 on Carolina's track. I'm hopeful there is a little more in her....time will tell.
