I took a spill in the 440 Fan Heat race last Saturday in the BEVRA circuit here in west Michigan.
Luckily, all is OK. The sled damage is contained to a cracked hood. I was sore for a day or two but OK now.
Looking forward to more racing in the future.

All is good.
I was a little worried about the other sleds on the track but they all were able to avoid me.
I will not be running Whiskey Creek. I may come and cheer on that GPX!

Did some of my tips help you out? Looked like you were running pretty strong! Luke the gear change did help. Would like to change a few more things to get some more speed. Handling is good. Need to work on my comfort to be able to race more than 3 laps! |

Great job Jim,sled looks pretty competitive! Learning what some drivers will do to protect their line is part of the game. Next time stick your nose in on the inside of this guy than take him on the outside next turn, slapping his kill switch as you go by LOL! Glad you didn't get hurt!
