WHAT EVERY TEAM NEEDS:

Jan 10, 2011

I know what every team need - it is a new engines and I know what is better then and new engine - it is a tested new engine. For the past three years Kaosmotorsports has had an old very used engine and we have pushed the old engine to the limits. Our engine was old before we started our 2008 rookie season and for the next two seasons we did not rebuilt it. The work in past years off season has been focused on handling and getting the car to turn. Changing the car from dirt, to perform on the pavement was no easy job. For this off season our team is focus on a new engine and getting the most out on the power plant. Just before Christmas we unloaded our new engine. Engines are like sports cars - if it looks cool you know it is fast. So the new engine looks very cool. Our old engines are like sports car in some other ways, if you take one apart, you never know how much it will take to put it back to gather. Having an old engine as a spare is not a bad thing - just in case we have a problem, we will have a fall back. A new engine brings new ideas of higher performing pumps and pulleys, distributors and coils, -- O and brakes, we will need good brakes. With a new engine comes new gear and power curves more fuel and even more fuel. Making changes like this is a lot of work - and a lot of fun, new problem to solve, new thing to fix.

SEASON OF WHAT IF'S:

Sep 28, 2010

The 2010 version of the NCMA has come to a close and I would like to send a hearty congrats to David Goodwill and the whole 3G racing team. David has performed like a gentleman the entire year and as our champion, he represents the best in all of us.
For the 77B team, we surely had a season of "what if's". What if we had a new engine? What if we didn't lose the panhard bar and a rear end in the first race? What if the rear end stayed in the car for the next race? And "what if" the brakes did not fail two different race nights OR I did not crash into three competitors on the track, bending three axels? What if I drove a bit harder here or a little less there?
We will never know because that's racing!
I need to say thank you. I am running on a barrowed rear end and drag link. I have used, tires and fuel I never paid for and had no way to paying for. What if I had not had the support of friends and family. What if NCMA was not the great group of giving guys it is. And yes that's racing too, helping each other in our time of need.
There are many factors that go into winning races. For us it just wasn't in the cards this year. Championships for the #77B team may still be in our future, we need to focus on constancy and improve our finishes and cut out the "what if's", way before wins and championships will be ours. Still I can say we finished fourth overall in the championship. We improved our handling and our speeds, each week running better and learning more. It was a year of trying new things and finding the right setup for the conditions were racing in.

SO "What IF" we get our act together for next year?

KEEPING THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE:

Aug 26, 2010

I look at some other high risk sports like base-jumping and free climbing and think they must be nuts. That's because I could not do that; I lack the knowledge, the skill and the passion. I hope those who may consider us to be somewhat crazy will respect that we understand the risks; we are passionate about what we do and we are professional in the way we go about our business.

A Good Day for the KAOS Team -- Wining the Heat race and the Dash.
