Show Low's One Nighter

There's not much to say about the Show Low trip other than self inflicted problems were to be had all night long.

We changed the carbs on the 10 car to see if we could hustle a little more oomph out of the motor. During Hot Laps we could not get the car to get passed 13,900 rpm's. We came in and immediately and rejetted the carbs thinking that it was a fat stumble on the top end. We led the first lap of the the trophy dash and got passed by the always fast Austin Quick and decided to pull in because we couldn't get passed 13,900 RPM's again. We rejetted the carbs again. We went out for the heat to find the same problems again. We ended up with a lucky second place finish in the heat and decided that we had enough of the carb problems and put on a new set. Problem solved. We then noticed that the water pump was cracked and was leaking all over the place. Thanks the Quinn group and their great sportsmanship we were able to borrow a new cover and get the car out for the main event. We opted to tag the main event and were only able to make it to a 7th place finish in a race that went green to checkers. It's kinda hard to get any more positions  when you don't get any yellows to bunch the field back up. We for sure gave it out all and look forward to the month off because we need to get some maintenance done to these hot rods! Thanks for your interest in SLIDE JOB RACING! GOD Bless
