I don't think I'll make it tonight.  If I can be arsed I'll take apart my pedals against and give them a blow out, but otherwise I won't make it.  I'll let you know closer to start time.

Having said that I've only managed a dozen laps so don't think I'll be troubling the front runners too much.

In 12 laps your the only one that got under 2:13 and I couldn't keep up with you and have the second fastest time with a chit load more laps. You could just turn up in qualy without any laps and still dominate, no idea how your doing it but I tried some setup changes and an absolute perfect lap I may just sneak into the 12's you did it rather easily and probably would get into the 11's if anyone got to the 12's.

of course:
I am starting to think GB does not actually exist in real life and he's just one of your apps. It automatically goes 1 second per lap faster than the fastest of the humans.... to make the race night just stressful enough ;)

I'm fairly sure Wally is busy in the code dungeon trying to fix his bot.  :'(

Have you sprayed the pots with Isopropyl Alchohol? That's what I used.

I've used contact cleaner many times - that stuff is nasty though.  It sticks like glue.

I've cleaned the pots themselves (full strip down) multiple times.

I think they are just gone.  My only hope now is to swap the brake pot with the accelerator pot - I've already swapped with the clutch.  And no, it seems you can't buy the pots anywhere - not ones that will fit.

Unless there is an improvement out of nowhere I don't think I'll make tomorrow nights race Wally.
This is a replacement pot(just need to cut off shaft) these are wire wound not carbon but should be good for a million plus cycles
remember this is not "rocket surgery" it is a Logitech product.

Qualy doesnt start til 8:30 if you have a fairly quick connection you should be able to get the update well under that time.
