SD Wheeler at NMRA 5-15-10

[kdesigns]

Gonna have to get Dave to make me some "HEY!!! IT'S SD" shirts.

..with a large Bullseye on the back

Tentatively....yes. Jeremy at UPR has offered me the use of the UPR 2010 convertible at Milan or their new 2011 5.0 if it is ready by then. Provided, of course, that my car isn't finished by that time which I'm hoping it will be.

Just checked airfare to Detroit. OMFG!!!! I'm taking travel donations, gang!!!!!

I've been making all of my donations to the "Get Butch back on the track" fund.

You probably don't remember back in '02 when I did that periscope-looking sight on the back window of the '98 with "THE GAME" in the middle of it. Ferguson took one look at it and said, "Yup....there's the target on Wheeler's back."

SD, with these fucking N/A cars, if you let them cool down any, they WILL go faster. Bracket racing them is a bitch. I have been racing mine for 3 years and have finally figured out "about" how it is going to run with the motor at different temps....if you are not familiar with the car, it will fuck you every time......

Oh I know what they do and don't do, Terry. I had the car at operating temperature as I rolled it out of the water box. I'm thinking it was the adaptive learning system in the transmission tuning. More I think about it the more it reminds me of what my car used to do before I had Doug's transmission tuning.

Oh I know you do, I was just saying that they can be somewhat unreliable when trying to get them to be consistent, as I am sure you already knew and have been recently reminded...

Just that damn transmission tuning. Of all the times to bite me in the ass.

Come on... man up. It wasn't the trans. Admit it... You staged too shallow with a slow car and broke out.

I don't make mistakes, Don. Didn't you know that by now?
