Really good racing

Well.... Do you really want to know how we did?
Read on!! after testing last saturday all day, the
InfernoMotorsports team arrived on Wednesday night
for tech inspection and practice, all seemed well when we
practiced in the 15.7 second second range on wednesday.
Thursdays test session found the car slowing by about
2 tenth of a second... this is not a good thing, We
checked over the entire car and found no reason for the
decrease in speed, but we were still concerned headed into
fridays qualifying session.
After arriving friday as soon as the gates opened and going
over the car, we still found nothing that we could see causing
problem, Joe went back onto the track and the car began to
shake and was causing a loss of traction and speed. Joe
came off the track saying it felt like the rear tires
were coming off the ground under acclleration.
The InfernoMotorsports team, Myself, Joe, Nate, Tim and
Cody took all of the rear drive line out of the car Friday
and inspected every part and found "NOTHING" broken or
damaged, we even had the rear gear supplier looking at his
gears to see of it was coming apart or had broken , still
nothing.
I spoke to Mario at Performance Plus and he
recomended that we bring the drive shaft to him and he would
take it to his sponsors drive line company and have the drive
shaft rebalanced, we found out later after reinstalling the entire
drive line and going back on to the track for practice, we
still had the same problem.
With the entire team confused and not knowing what was
wrong we went ahead and qualified the car as is and could
only qualify a 15.84 second lap that was only good for 13th
and only the top 16 were garanteed a starting spot for the
75 lap race.
We also had to run the car that same night in the heat race
for our starting spot in the main event with the same vibration.
We could not improve our starting spot so, we will start 13th.
After the heat race Joe came in saying he now felt the vibration
was in the clutches and not in the rear drive line, so, all of us
went back to work Friday night and took out the drive line,
transmission, bellhousing and all of the clutches, went to
the parts supplier and they only had the clutch discs but
no clutch plates, we called the supplier and had them bring us
new plates Saturday a.m.
After the plates arrived we all worked our butts off reinstalling
everything so we could get on the track for some shake down
laps, O.K, all done and Joes on the track in the heat of the day
and runs a 15.7 second lap ... really fast for the heat of the day,
well?, I asked Joe on the radio, "no vibration dad" finally
after 2 days of, changing tires , shocks, springs, bar angles and
banging and banging my head on the side of my trailer... it`s fixed.
We raced 75 laps and have only 1 minor scuff on the body.
Great job Joseph.
