breaking in?

[ResinRick]

I have been testing my sons car in between pack and dist.
I was going to see how many runs before we needed to re lube and how meany time to run it before we go to the race. so I ran it on the test track recorded the times in tell it started to slow down and then re lubed and ran it again tell it slowed again about 6 runs each, on the 3rd time of re lube and run it again and it ran 15 times and still no slow down. ? did it break in or what happed, not that this is bad but it blow my test out, I do not know when to re lube and how Meany times to run it before we take it to the race now.?

You have good break in and a small film of graphite on your axel.

I would relube again.

Then depending on District format will determine how many test runs to break in the new lube.

If district is just 6 races, then 2-3 test runs
If the district has semifinals etc. then only 1 test run to cast off the loose stuff.

Our pack next weekend will require 24 runs to win. So, i will lube and give is a slight roll to crunch and let the first heat cast off.

We have won pack three years running and have only been beat in 2 heats (one because we ran the car backwards).
