Well, yours truly continues to suck like a...well...a thing that sucks a lot.
Yet again failed to break 3 seconds in the Box Stock. I think I averaged 3.006 or something? So close and yet...so far.
Problem I'm seeing is that there's so many variables here:
- VK's laziness in not making fenders
- VK's cheapness with not buying fenders
- VK's obsession with bent axles
- VK's cheapass choice of oil (Unmodified Krytox)
- VK's refusal to buy the Black Ice bore prep kit
- Crappy preparation of BSA axles
- Crappy selection of BSA wheels
And, of course, I don't have a track, so the only time I get to see whether or not something worked is when I send it in.
SO...I think what I'm gonna do is build a second BS car and try to keep it as close to the build of the first...but change just one thing...and then send it in concurrently. This does increase my monthly postage and car fees...but I think I can slip two cars a months under the wife's radar.
The first thing I'll probably try is drilled cant instead of bent axles. Much as it would pain me to prove my approach wrong, it's better to be proven wrong and move on than to languish in ignorance.
If I can, I'll add fenders to both cars...but only if I can manage to do both of them.
And of course if y'all wanna share some Box Stock secrets with me along the way, well, I won't complain about that.
