And rear wings! The slicks I bought were too big, 33x15x15, they were nearly touching the chassis, so under load who knows what might of happened! Had to buy 2 new ones from Hauser on the way to Pod, 33x12x15,£688, ouch, so cleared chassis but still catching wings, so took them off, will re fabricate them for next time. hoping to get all the logos, sign, writing, stickers etc done before Bulldog Bash  . Can't believe though, how much stick the car actually gets and the hard crew work that has to be done! Im sure it will get easier as we go along! don't know how long Gearjammers sticker will last with all that Race Fuel about!!! |

We noticed that it was bent back at a strange angle, on inspection there was a crack on the leading edge which obviously filled with air and bent the mounts backwards, back to the drawing board! ;)Just shows you how much stress and strain there is in just 1/4 mile  |
