Joseph did a great job getting back to 5 and hanging on! One of these times when a driver chops his nose off! Rather than let off! Spin em'! Let them know you and going to be letting off anymore!

[@EvansBrosRacing]

Better to keep your cool , so many chop the nose off , you would eventually have to spin them all .

[@trtj200]

I agree with Tony if you can move to weight left rear I'd definitely do it, might help save a tire

[@tonymatteson]

Good job making the show. I have something for you all to think about. When track goes black, have you all thought about adding a 10 lb. Weight on the left rear. It's been my experience if you hang it below the center line of the rear end and close to the frame rail, it helps the car rotate and get off the corner. Great job to Joseph and your entire team. Looking forward to seeing more.

Boys think about putting a new set of springs on the rear, right front, and 5th coil. They are only good for so many cycles. We did that on our car when it started not having drive off the corner. It's like a new car when you do it. I know all your cars have Bert but you may think about going with Brinn transmissions. We had the same problems as you have with the Bert, so we put Brinn on all 6 of our cars and never had a transmission problem again.

Finding that fine balance of forward bite and tire wear. The guys that race 5-6 nights a week with a big tire budget have it figured out. You guys will get there. Just take time and money and R&D with your chassis. Too bad you can’t test more during the week between races.

[@butchcassidy3373]

It's an accomplishment to just make the race. More hard work will get y'all up front. Just keep on Huntin' guys. Just keep on Huntin'.

[@glennrollins8422]

Stay on the throttle a fraction of a second longer and get on the throttle a fraction of a second quicker and these fractions add up to a full second. At 85 mph, that's 124 feet per second and will WIN most of your races.

[@JJ-1-1]

You have no clue what your talking about especially on this track when it's in this condition I know what kind of grip this place is capable of It's actually opposite you need to roll of the throttle and rotate the center and control the wheel spin up of the corner And I'm at the track all week..So no your suggestion picking up and laying down for extra fractions isn't the answer you give the the car exactly what it handle and ride that razors edge. So again you have no clue.

[@glennrollins8422]

Rolling off the throttle too early let's your opponent drive past you. I see it time after time. These are great guys but apparently dislike constructive criticism.

Lets hear from all the "pros" about restricting carb. Right choice given Joseph was burning right rear tire.

[@JJ-1-1]

Restricting the motor is essential in those track conditions at Charlotte for 80% of drivers the other 20% of top drivers like Madden can get it done with out a restrictor... At this point HTF is behind on getting there car setups right and Joseph is not in that top 20% of drivers right now..So yes Joseph needed that motor choked down.

[@reneholmes8016]

Grats on making the feature! Just wondering though, what effect did the new carb have and was it worth the 3500.00 price tag?

Dang I was hoping y’all get little more up front but it’s what it is y’all doing the best y’all can do

[@duanecreativemachine]

When you run a restrictor do you have to take fuel out to. Or does it just run slightly fat. Or being a carb does the less air pull the fuel out for you.

[@mwall1296]

I'm curious as to your rear stagger vs front stagger? From what I saw I would have put in taller gear, added weight on lft rear axle tube if legal and got rid of some stagger in the rear. If you cant add weight to axle tube buy heavy bird cage. We figure out how to increase mechanical traction instead of taking power away 90% of the time. Tire Temps across rear? From the looks of rt rear you need a setup adjustment to get more heat in left rear for more drive. Just a suggestion

[@scottcreighton9923]

with the new power from the engin can the transmission be enhanced to handle extra power..maybe a thicker gear . i say add weight to the car it will help for traction.. i be watching..

[@DaveAdamsMotorsports]

I'm wondering if you had just a percent or 1.5% more rear that your tires won't spin as bad or at all giving you more forward grip. Helps coming off the corner which gives more speed and momentum down the straightaways and into the corner. Just a suggestion. Probably will make you too tight but more left side weight will help it turn. Not bad though guys. Keep digging!

[@jason5044]

They don't check percentage now a days much

[@DaveAdamsMotorsports]

@@jason5044 yeah I know. I used to race Late Models about 6 years ago and my brother still owns one. They have the spring/shock machine and don't do much scaling anymore like when I was racing but it just looks like JJ just can't get off the corner as fast as the fast guys and that's where the car needs to be tweaked to get it faster.

4 new tires for 4 races! Is that for every team or is that just what you could afford? I doubt that's the case! I hope somebody who is there can explain the amount of tires! That really sucks to go out to main event with 2 half worn tires!

[@JJ-1-1]

Ok I'm going to explain this I hope others read this too. 1 Hoosier tire company is having issues sourcing Rubber it comes from south East Asia and the china market is eating the supply up. 2 Hoosier racing tires also have staffing problems at the moment..So they are having trouble supplying race teams tires..3 The XR series the Flo series the World Of Out Laws and Lucas oil series have a (5) tire rule meaning you start the night on 4 new tires. You have to hot lap/qualify/heat race and a possible B main on those 4 tires..If you make the feature you get a new tire (99% of the time it's the RR) And for clarity the tire they use on the RR is the hardest available for Dirt latemodel racing.

Good job making the show! I have been thinking about your starter issue, and I think you may need a voltage regulator between the starter and battery. 16V battery and a 12V starter do not usually go well. I could be wrong, do not know your setup, and certainly am no expert. I have seen electronics burn out from too much voltage however. It might be beneficial to talk to a knowledgeable person at an auto electric ( not electronics! ) store, or talk to Capital and see what they say.
