This time I didn't break in the Main and run away with the TQ and Win! :) I replaced the outdrive I broke in the Main, and I also replaced the idler gear with a new one while I had the gearbox apart. I also raised the diff height to 2.5 mm, but raised the idler gear to 3.5 mm. Doing this loosened up the gear mesh a little bit, freeing up my transmission immensely! Hopefully this would get rid of the gear whine noise my car is known for. Confirmed! My first practice run confirmed that the gear whine noise was gone! In fact my car was so quiet, it seemed weird to me! Lol!
In Heat 1, I won the heat with a 16:10, fast lap of 18.882, average lap of 19.418, and consistency of 97.26%. I made 3 minor driving mistakes and had 1 crash, but landed back on my wheels.
In Heat 2, I won the heat again with another run of 16:10, but with a faster hot lap of 18.592, average lap of 19.429, and consistency of 97.00%. I made minor 3 driving mistakes and had 1 crash.
I TQ'd again, winning both heats and would be starting the A main from the pole position! I would win the Main this time turning a 16:06, with a fast lap was 18.392, average lap of 19.219, and consistency of 98.22%. I made 1 driving mistakes and had 0 crashes.

| It was another hot one! |
After racing was over I threw on my JC Octagon slicks to test out with the track in race ready condition. I was careful at first, bu then the grip came in and I started trying to go faster! They didn't feel as stable as my worn down PL slicks with softer inserts though. I was able to turn some 18 second laps, with the best at 18.3, matching my fast lap in the Main.
