I feel bad for whoever has to clean that poor Talon. That is literally hours and hours of power washing...... Been there, done that and it absolutely sucks!

My car got pretty muddy last weekend at the track. Not that muddy though! Spent an hour or so washing it this morning and now it's back to minty clean.

Our mud is nothing compared to Tex Plex. That stuff just doesn't come off like ours does.

Happy with the 4th place class finish, considering the last lap was ran overheating and could've ran another if they'd gotten to the tent a little earlier. Couple things will need to be addressed before next race:

1. Radiator will have to be relocated, packed half way up full of mud and sand. This is probably the most serious problem to tackle as it could put the car out of the race.

2. Tree kickers; drivers side took a good beating, will definitely need some sort of bar to keep the wheels away from trees.

3. Rear bumper, got smacked good in the rear as well, cage does extend to around the stock location. Something more substantial will need to be to cover the exhaust.

That being said, my boss was super happy to just finish the race and not break anything. He said the car was super fast and great overall, with the exception of soft rear suspension. Wasnt much out there that could run from it on the straights and it murdered the sand whoops. He just overdrove some of the corners and got stalled behind some pileups.

Here's to the next race and hopefully some more seat time before then.
