Some closed cell foams are better after the first go around since they soften up a little. If you want to reuse the foams cut the tire at the sidewall or down the middle and slide the foam out before acetoning or cooking the rubber off.

Thanks Mayor, I will probably do this, as others have suggested. I didn't think about the foams actually maybe softening up and being a good thing. But that's something to consider.

Miss racing with you guys. Any consideration on moving start time? Heard track was fun.

Jason, it would be nice if you could make it, maybe they can consider the start times again. We were rolling down ks. avenue @ 7pm headed home.

Aaron, I apologize for the marshaling by me, and for crashing you in the Stadium Truck A main. Yes it is a big deal to me, I take a lot of pride in clean driving, and good marshaling. I'll do my best next time!

I know some of our racers were at the jc race, but it might be time to consider that the new start time is having a negative impact on turnouts.

I agree, and our race program is in tune for a lot more cars. But with the number of racers showing up and the pace of the race program it makes it difficult for me to be ready for the next round when repairs need to be done and marshaling and trying to get batteries charged in between. I may be forced to drop a class at this pace.
