Little late but oh well.
Went down friday night and checked into the hotel, went down to the bar and b.s.'d with a couple of ladies that were up from L.A.

Saturday got 4 tnt runs in. Ran a 5.2xx first run. 2nd run was a 5.1xx. 3rd and 4th runs I was trying different stuff and it didn't work so throw those out.

I was trapping faster then the rigids I was running but they killed me in 60ft. Deffiently need a bar and some new tires.

The bike is a stock frame with solid struts f/r. Non override because it is still a duner.

It will have new paddles and a bar for Bako.

Couple of the runs I shifted my weight back more and got the tires to hook but then it carried the front way too much. My goal is a 4.8  Long ways to go but I think it will happen.

Keep at her Russell, Bar and paddles, I think you'll be in the 4's relatively easy

Well new to me paddles should be here today actually. The heims and kart wheel/tire/hub for the bar should be here later this week. Then after the MLK weekend I am going back to Nates do some more upgrades. It's getting drunk and an OOF. All the racing I have been doing has been with a TRX5 pipe. Bakersfield will be fun for sure.

Thanks for the :encouragement:
