I wanted to jump off the stand and kick the car to get it moving. But then it became clear that it was all about the other little things that made the big difference, not how good you are with a esc program. Such as a perfectly prepared car, fine tuning a roll out vs motor timing and seeing how it effected fast lap and last lap, choosing the right tires so not to bind the car down, and just plain old fashioned clean driving. I stand in awe watching the mod 12 cars screaming through the course. But it was also just as rewarding to run 8 minutes flawlessly while maximizing everything possible out of very limited power.

You guys are reaching.....
I messed up and didn't make the '08 IIC. Wasn't going to make that mistake twice. I left a club race early so that I could be sitting in front of a pc when sign up's opened up for the '09 IIC. I made a point to show my wares at the race and was very proud of DE making mains with my car. The '09 race was a little tainted with the speedo "have's and have not's", but was still an excellent event. Cooler heads prevailed and whallah... we have just witnessed the most excellent IIC race ever. Scotty, if you go out now, you did it with a bang. This year was a bench mark that will likely not be surpassed.
You know what this thread is lacking right now? All the complaining, whining and bickering from someone who didn't have a good time. Well guess what, no one is complaining. Win, loose or draw... we all had a great time. I hope it's not the last, but if you have to sell your soul and live in a van down by the river......
Get Boomer to do it!

I know Bill's tires were initially. I ran mine without doing that and the car ran just fine

We would like to thank everyone for the kind words. It makes it all worth what we do when no matter how good or bad you do at the race, you still enjoy yourself at the IIC.
Gotta watch out for the internet police here.
