Congrats Nick Knauz

First time to Road Atlanta and he beats a top class field. Nice work Nick! Also congrats to Scott and Bernie on their podium finishes!

Re: Congrats Nick Knauz

Ole Nick has a little body work to do on the nose of his machine. That Georgia clay sticks to everything. LOL

Good to finally meet up with all you guys, the B-Man is a gas, as is Tedder, had some good talk during the Sat rain delay. Wish the weather would have been nicer so you all could have raced on Sat, but I guess one day is better than none.

Hope to see all you guys again soon,

Dave E.

Re: Congrats Nick Knauz

Motor problems put him in the pits on lap ?seven?

Not a good weekend for Brett. He also blew a tire coming down the hill in turn twelve in his B-stock at over 100MPH and flat spun it on the front straight... I would have needed DEPENDS after that!

When we had that one round of practice on Friday, and Bret was up toward the front of the 4 cycle session, Scott ran him down and passed him on the front straight. Sandbagging was what I first thought. But he was slow in the race on Sunday too, couldn't be the weight either ......... Scott was over 380# for Sunday. So, I don't know what the problem was he had.

Yes, he did start the 360# race, but pulled in ( running ) after about 5 laps or so ( just a guess ). I was figuring Bret to be really fast at Atlanta.

Dave E.

PS And by the way, nice Championship in 385# Andy !!

I don't know Jack. I saw where they were pitted, but didn't want to snoop.

Jack, How can I tell if the chassis is a "new" one or the old style? I'm trying to figure out what is making the "new" chassis behave the way you have described.

Dom, if Spaude had motor problems, he had them all weekend from what I saw.

Dave.

Re: Congrats Nick Knauz

Dave, If the Rear motor hanger has a triangle gusset on it.

Mike, the new ones are parked for now. I will let someone else sort them out, went back to the old.

The new ones were constantly tight regardless of what worked on the older ones. (this caused us to chase our tail alot).

I am guessing that if someone started with them new, and did not rely on information from the older models, they would figure it out.

Mike, if you fly down for the April race at MidOhio this year, you can run one and figure it out. Then we can go fishing in the evening on the boat.

Jack
