    With no rain in the forecast for the last two months, the track was slick as I’ve ever seen it. We struggled to get the car into the track, but it really didn’t matter when I got caught up in a huge pile up on lap one on Saturday nights event, I kind of combined both nights here because we weren’t making much speed. Therefore there wasn’t much good footage from the first night.

    Tough weekend and the track was horrible Saturday night. My wife and I finally found Maddie selling shirts, she was awesome to talk to

    Put some BRISCA bumpers on, and you'll drive right through that stuff. 😅

      My thoughts exactly - you just keep the pedal down until you make a gap or the wall, whichever comes first😀. Good racing though, certainly different than what we are used to in the UK. Well worth a look I reckon next time we are in IN 🏁

    Good to see Donnie Gentry in your video. You two killed it in the Shane Wade Amati66 Sprinter there. This is Easton, I looked for you at Pevely Ironman to see if DG was there helping to no avail. Keep doing what you do!

      If you ever see a guy with a RMS Chili Bowl shirt from the year there were five drivers with a prosthetic leg walking in the midget pits that’s me. I should retire that shirt, lol.

    ouch you got took out, I wondered what happened, I saw you one minute and the next gone, was very dusty but I guess the grounds crew tried, thanks for the conversation, and thanks for remembering and asking about the historical railroading I mentioned last year while we talked, was a tight night and got a little behind at the start of comp, well you'll get them at bc 39 you can do it, just a matter of getting it dialed in, eldora is always fast and furious, and goes very dry quick especially with the heat and could not belive they were doing the wing cars three at a time crazy usually only see two at a time.eldora though is always furious with its banking, can say though the silver crown race was starting to get a bit annoying how man got flats, it must have been like driving on sandpaper out there by that point, and there just wasn't much time to get momentum, which the champ cars rely on soo much for their long distance racing, they got horsepower but they also have more weight to try to push around and takes a lap to get them up to speed or more and if you cant get even three they dont have much chance to get into a groove or try to pass., especially with it as dry as it was

    Is this the same car from Sun Prairie (Angell Park)? I was wondering how badly damaged the car was and if it was totaled or not after the flip. (also, is that video coming?)

      You're right about that. But that was nothing compared to what Daum did to Zach Wigal. That's what caused the big wreck.

    Hey also not to bother you but you are right. Way to stiff on the rear and need softer/quicker rebound on the front. Car is very rigid amd not grabbing the track at all!

    The 4 crown 👑 is this big event but anytime you put that many cars on a dirt track it’s going to be a dust shit bowl. Charlotte dirt track is like that with just the Woo. I’m telling ya, stick with the midget and get a permanent USAC sprint car ride and after a year in both racing it week after week you’ll be a contender…
    Good luck at the BC39 👍 😊

      World Finals at Charlotte turn four is miserable with dust showers, turn one much better. They finally got a new water truck.

    You have got to figure out how to make that chassis work on the bottom, period. You consistently lost spots having to get up top. I know you and Tim are trying, but it may be time to cut bait and go a different route. That EAstealth is too good to be running in the back at these big shows.

    I hate to say this Thomas it sounds like you've done everything you can to get this chassis to work and hook up. Maybe it's time that you drop the motor in a different chassis, and see what's going on. If you're going to make the trip to California, you should probably think about doing just what I said you don't want to go all the way out there and have the problems you're having now. But you know better than anyone. What the car needs and what the car is doing and whether something like I said will work or not.

    • @williamkrupp4572
      @williamkrupp4572 4 дні тому

      you are right, this chassis is RF lacking, bottom shock should be as close as possible . there is a lot of stupid energy wasted! not only that but it acts like a bogo stick! Thomas is one hell of a driver and I cant wait till me and my family go truth some difficulty and place him in whatever he wants to RACE!!!!!!! Love you bro!
