I figured. I dont expect this thing to reach full potential until it has had a few races under its belt. No testing means this race might turn into a makeshift test.

From what I have seen in practice, the car can hug the bottom of the track and seems to manage the "lose in, tight in the middle" COT syndrome better. Ill be interested to hear the radio chatter tomorrow.

If you look at Robby’s average lap times from practice he is right there. It’s amazing how close all the times are…

the watchamacallit was not calibrated correctly to correlate with the thingamajig. Causing it to respond incorrectly to the input of both the steering wheel actuator and throttle pedal actuator. After callibration of the watchamacallit and proper overnight lubrication (jim beam) of the actuator all should be working fine for the race today.

Possibly though the lobborator hit the fastinjulator. That causes extra moisture under the vulvulation canister. Sometimes that makes things loose going in. Glad they got a handle on it..
