Well in true Reso fashion I had a killer prep job done over the weekend. I just had to prove to myself I could replicate what I did  . So here it is Tuesday night and I'm on my second prep job just trying to get back to my usual times. A word of advise to my PDDR brother-en. Wright down everything you do during a prep job so you can remember what you did right ;D. See you on the track Saturday! |

O.R. Hope you find that happy medium tonight! I'm starting Prep Job #3  This will be it for me tonight. My goal for November was one run in the 2.98x's. Looks like I will have to wait until 2012! |

well prep 3 did not result in any magic. My lastest PS design has some potential I just need to work on it for the 2012 kick off. Its going to be slow but I just love sharing the track with my boys! So I have two turtles on there way to the November Show Down! The car is simply named "X"  |

Looks good Reso, cant wait to see it in person. I'am also sure it will run better than most. ;D Thanks QT, I'm predicting a 3.010 average, my prep job was just aweful last night. I had this car sreaming Sunday evening, my fastest offering yet. The body and fenders are the result of a seasons worth of R&D. Nothing ground breaking just felt I had it right for once. I did a lot of back and forth comparisons with this body and a car I ran at the Scouter Nationals. It was hands down a better design, real easy to tune. I'm almost there, another month of testing and some fresh products from ___ should get me headed in the right direction for 2012. |

Well, you never know how it will run in the end. I have scratched my head a few times when a car I sent in seemed slow at home and then performed better than expected on the track(and the reverse has happened as well  ). Since I only have a partial track, sometimes my time estimates get screwed up, so maybe that's part of it. Well....back to some more midnight oil for me tonight...I need to put everything together and see how they run. A few adjustments this month for me, so I am curious to see how they come out. O.R. O.R., Hope you get the fleet rockin for Saturday. You had a great showing last month. Competing in the KOH is my goal for next year. I'm going to be cheering for all of the Top 15 in December. |

Well, Reso, it looks like you and I are going to fight it out in a turtle race. My PS is my slowest of the year, and my other cars are not where I want them to be...except for one  . I am not saying, since I won't know until it hits the track, but I did make one of those early morning breakthroughs on one of them that could really help me out in December. What is killing me is that I spent all that time to get the other cars at top performance and something still went wrong. Anyway, I am still looking forward to Saturday, and I wish everybody the best of luck. I will be away from home the first part of the race, so I will probably miss at least the PS and maybe Stock. Keep an eye out and let me know how my turtles are running! O.R. O.R. Glad you made a breakthrough on one of your cars. Hopefully you can build on that for the KOH tournament. I'm going to be in and out during the chat myself. I'm cooking for the LSU/Alabama game. Maybe John can have our PS cars run together all night so they don't look so bad ;D. |
