I am game for whatever we decide.

Ok, Oil Filters.
I know it's been beat to death, I never had a problem before.

This NAPA Gold 1515 started leaking at the track.
It leaked at the last T&T also.

The red seal will not stay in the groove.
Here is what it looked like when I removed it.

It looks silicon to me.

STP S8AXL looks exactly the same.

Old smaller NAPA Gold, in a WIX box, looks like real rubber seal.
It's the smaller size.

Bringing the trailer back home the other night I had a flat.
Turned out to be a good thing.
The China Bombs on the trailer that were holding air were all out of round.
And they are not that old.

So we are changing them all to be ready for the tow.

Breakaway battery was dead also.

Add that to the list.

I am working with Dave Ansbeck in VA on rear shock settings.
Last runs were leaving at 4200.
CC will be 4500.
After it went straight he suggested some changes from my baseline for the new launch.
So I have changed them accordingly.
Also .25 inch more right preload.

I was only to adjust one of the front shocks.
Re-Bound on one is stuck.

But it stuck on the good end so I am just going to send it.

New belts from Summit to line someone's pockets.
Not mine.

Another well wisher suggested loosening the tamer slip.
I can do that as well.
