    I podium-ed in Silver in LMP two weeks ago, Bronze in LMP last Saturday night.  But the two-race-old 0.005 body is shot and it’s probably time to swap out the sealed Hawk-7 LOL.

    On Monday I was off so I re-wired my Koford controller with larger and longer leads from the blast transistor to the control handle; with the intent of reducing the risk of de-clipping from the power-posts and have more room to move away from the drivers-station.

    At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
