What "Bamboozeled" you at the last race?
« on: August 18, 2015, 05:02:50 AM »
On my second pass I let go of the button and stuck good. The fed hiked the front wheels higher than it should have. I really had the "this is gonna be a good pass kind if feeling". 2 seconds later the air shifter fails second gear. It starts to rain at the turn off and I have to go home with my tail between my legs. Dang the bad luck!

First time trial of the season I forgot to turn the air bottle on....no second gear.
