Lucky Dogs

So even if like you're a bit bigger, you don't actually lose like that much time because you're on a limiter.

But going down the hill, the bigger you are, the faster you go.

Lucky Dogs
#26 - The Ruapuna Dustbowl Classic

So I was racing one of my mechanics, Jayden, who's probably like all but like 60, 70 kilos.

Lucky Dogs
#26 - The Ruapuna Dustbowl Classic

Did you see how it... So the roof went this way towards the back of the garage, so the rear was lower at the back of the garage, and then the cling wrap was higher, so it funnelled into a gutter.

Lucky Dogs

just mid-race yeah just like mid-race but yeah so pretty glad because the weather was actually awesome but um yeah I thought it was pretty obviously it was really dusty hey oh crazy like I thought that maybe they didn't prep the track that well but you no matter how much prep you put in it was never like it was just so dusty I think the dirt because there's actually a quarry behind and I think that I like just the dirt there is like really fine so it's like if you there's not really much you can sort of do but I the yeah we'll talk about later but like I went off one of the

Lucky Dogs
#26 - The Ruapuna Dustbowl Classic

Lucky Dogs
