MÜLE_9242Good win Tom
I was dumb and pulled out way too soon. got hung out to dry, and subsequently spun myself off of Niop's bumper trying to pull down.
Sorry Mule, but I was comfy in top 5 there n that's where I wanted to be to make my move on last lap. So when u pulled out I really did not want to follow. And at the time I also thought u had got loose.
So I had to make a split second decision whether I would let u in, get behind u, or stay in line where I really wanted to be. I choose what fit my plan best at the moment since we didn't have any team strategy pre-race. I'm just upset it didn't work for u n I feel guilty of letting u down. And to top it off u were spun around which didn't help the situation either. But that's racing at 'Tona I guess. I hope no hard feelings?
Good race over all n lots of fun. Good group this season too, I might add. And Mule, let's get on board with a solid strategy for next week too. We have a few options I believe that'll work out great for us.

It was an awesome race to watch guys. Everyone raced properly, hard and eager. Even Chris, letting groups past without any drama. Well done Chris.
Great to watch a successful claw back from the second group. Starting with two and building the train.
No stop required conservation, and it looked like the tyres were very squirrelly last 10 or so. Next week should be interesting strategy wise.
Congrats to Tom, and awesome work Spurgy and Dave 👍

Since I wasn't there, could anyone give me a rundown on what happened?
Basically, my pedals came unplugged early on, slamming on the brakes and splitting the field into two groups. The second group caught up to the first and it was single file for quite a while, then towards then end a couple of people wrecked leaving a 5/6 car group up front

I don't even have a wheel and pedals and I know how that must feel.

They really do that if unplugged? I'd have somewhat expected that you'll only start coasting when that happens.

It's alright, got an awesome team with me who dropped back and helped, and we ended up getting a 1-2-5 finish
@Carb, yeh, for some reason when they come out they put the brakes fully in, I don't really know why

Yeh, I check I quite often and it usually takes a while to work its way out, but today it didn't take long at all

I don't
although I think my pedals are dying, my throttle struggles to go on 100% and my brakes flick on every other corner

I don't
What a shame
Have you tried cleaning them? Dust can make the censor in the pedal box go funny

I don't want to take them apart to clean them properly, but I do stick a hoover under the pedals every now and then.

Honestly, there are two things you can loose from those pedals; its the two springs that make the resistance.
Just undo the 5 or 6 screws, remove the back plate and hoover away. 👍

Heres a vid if needed. You could also mod the pedals so it has more pressure, so you can be better on the brakes 👍

Where actually was everyone else on Saturday?
Still, even though I'm aware it was only preseason the race felt a lot more laidback and fun than I dare-say we're all used to. The Sprint Cup is great but I used to be so in the zone and focused on winning that I didn't sit back and enjoy it.
