Hillbilly Racing Team: week in review

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Good plan Rob - start out with as little pressure and intensity as possible, and then move on to a bigger track where the field is well experienced. Taylor is on her mark - if she can cut those lights, and run on the dial for 5 runs straight like that she'll be going rounds at just about any track. The more experienced kids will be better at the stripe of course, but she'll catch on very quick - Ben sure did!

We were talking to the Maple Grove Champion for 2010 &amp; 2011 (he won 2 years in a row!), and he was sharing a few bits of advice with us - like how much et is packed, when to let off when running up on a 12.90 car, etc... good stuff! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] Maple Grove usually has about 30-35 Jr's on a points day, so it takes about 5 rounds of elim's to get to the winners circle. We've only made it to round 3 thus far - these older kids basically eat the 12.90 cars for lunch! In fact, no 12.90 car has made it past the 3rd round all year at MGR, [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img] So glad you guys skipped the 12.90's - good move for both you and your kiddies!



This was less than half of the field of over 600 Jr's at the Eastern Finals at Bristol!
