Will it be even faster?

Aaron's fastest lap time for the first race in 2008 in the CRX was 18.564 seconds (72.721 average mph). Throughout the year, Aaron improved his lap times. He got his fastest lap time of the season during the last race of the year - 17.961 seconds (75.163 average mph). So, you would think we wouldn't change a thing on the car for 2009 but we did. We had the CRX put on a frame rack to fix the alignment. It was really messed up but you can't help but wonder if the bent up frame made the car run around the track faster. The frame guy did say the way it was twisted would actually make us slower but we can't help but wonder what's going to happen. Logically, we should be faster but we'll soon see. We also had the CV shafts replaced, put on a fresh coat of paint and took off some extra weight.
The first practice is tomorrow - March 28th. I'll try to update the blog every Monday or Tuesday throughout the race season. For more up to date, results you can come out and watch or look online at http://www.elkospeedway.com/.
