And back!  Sadly, only made it a 100 this year.  Electrical issues and rear suspension failure again.

No pic yet, but this year it was actually the bolt that sheared in two and not the mount.  It may have been due to not enough clearance between where it threaded into the rear third member and the bushing, so when the suspension was dropped there was binding.  Either that or the bolt just wasn't heavy duty enough.

Dave won, but had some cooling issues due to wildlife interference that left him 20 miles from the finish line with only 30 minutes to do it in.  The old Eric lost and found a spark plug and had some engine mount issues while New Eric had some electrical issues as well as coolant issues and lost a motor.  But his rig looked great!

I'll do a write-up tomorrow on the Trouble Racing experience.  Tonight is relaxing and Sounders vs Chelsea!
