Weird how some people were hitting a "relatively low" hard deck while sporting theoretical fast motor. I really thought 50+ would be "easy". Still a mystery.

There was a lot of parts and components destroyed in the runs this year across the board! So much so that the F parts tree is next to impossible to find right now! I need to find one to get the wrecked one fully rebuilt. It is always fun to do these but it can be frustrating to get stuck or keep going through parts trying to get better! Your car was a straight shooter for sure! I am looking forward to next year and what slow kit we will have to beat on to make go fast! Great job with it all Paul!

Your crash was top of mind at the when I mentioned crashes. That's why I mentioned you and your closer. I seriously thought you were going to turn green and smash. It was that feeling I had looking at those motors, but I was mad at myself for missing something and causing it. I don't script anything or have a plan. I just turned on the camera and blab it all out.
@AddamsPlayground29 күн бұрын
@@Paul__FC It was frustrating and I was pretty angry but going into it I know there is the risk of epic failure from a crash or from a fire or even getting run over! So it was back to the drawing board and start over! I am 100% the same way, I rarely plan anything out, it shows many times but if I had to plan everything and script things there would be no fun in it and it would not be me. So I wing 90% of everything and the other 10% is vague planning or dumb luck, mostly dumb luck! LOL!!!

@TeamJunkYardDog I'm going brushless next year. I feel really bad about trashing that old gear. I floated an idea that would mitigate the issue, but I don't want to give it away and have someone beat Fil to the punch. With a solid start date next year, it will be easier to get a motor deal done.

It won't be official but you should be able to go look at the records and the previous run. You should clear all the records and clear the cash in the option menu of the app. I find once i get more then 40 or 50 runs on my GNSs it starts to act up. Sometimes it dosent work well with some devices. You could try getting the records with your phone just to see if it will show the speed. It looks like you do have something up with your unit because it's tracking speed with the car not even moving. Have you had it in a crash that could have messed it up?.

Yeah I can’t say I blame you for getting frustrated. I’d be the same way. And I’ve had a couple takes in the past where I forgot something or discovered I forgot to charge something and had to go home and come out again later. When I first got the gps it wasn’t connecting at all and I was starting to lose it lol - got it working after I discovered it was actually human error. I had a run where I went backwards in speed a few weeks ago. That was totally deflating.

But I did watch your video all the way through so I was with you all the way. You are right, it's tight in the middle at 40ish mph due to the electrics still available to most of us. I don't blame you with ditching that GPS but boy I'll be pissed if I get beat by 0.1mph that my car might have done but doesn't show on the GNSS!!! But as you say it doesn't really matter cos no way are we winning this or even coming close! Man I'm 30mph behind the leaders! 🤣🤣 Great job sticking with it Paul.
