Re: Eyesore Racing's handling secrets revealed!

Just carry a spare front half and a spare rear half and you get to fix everything...

Don't forget smokin pit stops!

Our reliability streak ended during the Chump Car race when we finally realized our front wheel bearings were shot. We practiced on another team's parts car and managed to do a wheel bearing swap on our car in 9 minutes at about 3 am. That was one of the best moments of the race, really...

Organize your tools and know how to fix your car!

And you still won Chump Car...

Eyesore = hero

Yee-Haw 2010 "Most Heroic Fix" & "I Got Screwed" -2 trophies for 1 lap, but I took checkered on my lap.
Gator-O-Rama 2012 "Organizers Choice" -2 laps 1 trophy, but i still finished ahead of an E30
Yee-Haw 2013 No trophy -26 laps, I think I see a pattern here
Gator-O-Rama 2014 "Waiting for the Last Minute Call from the Governor Award" -who's counting? John

Re: Eyesore Racing's handling secrets revealed!

Yeah, I don't think you could have had a better race than eyesore had at Chump SoW. It was darn near perfect...

Just that SINGLE stop over ten minutes (there were 1 hour breaks at dusk & dawn). Literally like clockwork. Not to take anything away from your other wins, but you simply dominated at Streets.

Keep in mind those are LAP times. So the 1:30-ish "pit lap" is included in the pit time. Meaning the absolute minimum time you could do a pitlap in was ~6:30 due to the 5 min refueling rule in Chump.

Dang, I was hoping you guys would stay with the stock springs.
