Hicks Lawn Services truck racing

Heat race win. GoPro sucks. Can't edit. Won't upload. Pay money to use their cloud but it won't upload after two nights in a row attempting to upload to their cloud. Pay money for it and also so you can edit. Cannot access it to the edit feature. Frustrating. I'd love to know how to cut out the time under caution or running in the track before we go green.

Anyway, here is the heat race win last night. The nose you see is the guy who has won 4 in a row. Not tooting my own horn. You guys have seen me be highly critical of myself. I believe this may have been one of the smartest races I've raced. Had confidence. Elbows up. Driving hard. Last couple laps I knew there was no room to pass me high. I dropped down half a truck width or so to protect the bottom. Can't say it always works this way, but it is the steady improvement I've been seeking.

Now I know why! That looks like a hell of a good time! Great race! That guy on your door would have me nervous though lol. Look back at your first post on this and look how good your doing now. Way to stick with it!

I wish I could say it was a new powerplant. Same head. Different short block. Not much different than the last one. Just fresher paint. . . And lower oil pressure. It has me nervous. Thursday night we were combining parts from the old and new one to get one together to race. Should have just left the old one in there. Lol

Thanks @GoetsTalon it is a blast. And truthfully, it can make you nervous. Sort of depends who it is. I wasn't worried about him sliding up into me. He doesn't like any scratches on his truck and has won four features in a row. Lol

Truck is back together. Haven't had a chance to test it out. Just need to hope you didn't miss anything and the alignment is good.

We rained out last Friday. Today is championship week at Limaland. Mainly for the classes which run there weekly. Everyone runs hot laps. Pill draw determines starting position in the feature. There are no heat races. After the feature the stock cars and modified drivers walk to the general admission side and are awarded their trophies or whatever they get for season points. Following awards, we run the King of the Quarter Mile. Top six will Duke it out to see who is crowned the King.

Saturday we race at Waynesfield and then we are off for about a month. Basically I have 3 features in two nights.
