Update from Leadfoot & new graphics

New hero cards by Denise Bass Photography & Design (front)

Leadfoot sent me this update to post to the blog after a long night of working the graveyard shift:

"Results, not excuses! I am a bit embarrassed by our team results so far, I could probably come up with 73 excuses if it mattered, but it doesn’t. Two race events, no race starts!

There are some good things to be proud of though:

We were 11^th quickest of 28 cars in practice at Waterford.We were running good lap times at Monadnock after making huge adjustments.

The car looks damn sharp!

We have accomplished a tremendous amount of work converting our car from an SK mod to a tour type mod. Quite frankly, it was a miracle we made it to Waterford at all.

We also have yet to have anything actually fail that would keep us from running.

What has happened is: a poor draw for start position, a little love tap that cost us the one position we needed to qualify, a broken spark plug, a gapless spark plug, a panhard bar bracket that slipped, a…..you get the idea!

Mostly, we are still trying to do some of the fine tuning adjustments that only time & money will allow us to get it done.

It has been a huge undertaking building the car, but also collecting the proper tools, equipment, parts, and setting up a car trailer and shop to service the needs of a tour type mod.

I have a lot to learn about driving a modified at tracks I have never been to. If I had a perfect car, learning to drive it would be that much easier. We will get there quicker than some may think, if money will allow us to do so, that is.

I am thankful for all of the work our crew has done so far, and we will show some results on the track soon. That I can promise.

Coming soon for the 73 team:

Possibly practice at Thompson May 10^th (if I can arrange with work schedule)
Race on Sunday May 20th
Possibly get the sportsman car back on the track either May 31^st, or June 7^th.

Cheers,

Larry
