This weekend didn't go too well for us. We got to the track, unloaded everything and got ready for the practice session:

I'd like to thank our new sponsor http://www.ISTOREPARTS.com :

Edik went out for the practice session with the new rims and shaved tires just to get the tires heated up so then we could let them sit overnight for Sunday, but hit a big apex and cracked one rim:

And bent another:

good thing we had an extra set of the old Borbet's to use:

Qualifying went well with Steve qualifying first, Edik second, Sam third, rick fourth. We decided to take off the wing because it caused too much drag and got the front tires too hot:

Steve was pushed to the outside at the start of the race and fell to 2nd with Edik leading:

Edik was brake checked on the second to last lap by the H1 crx and hit the crx, then while going to downshift to 4th gear for turn 9, it wouldn't go in so he spun and was stuck there for a while until the car started again and he went on to finish in 6th with Rick in 1st, Steve 2nd, Don 3rd:

Rick took the lead with Steve and Edik very close behind:

Steve passed Rick and Edik following close:

Following so close that he didn't see the edge of the track and went off, ouch:
