Richard where do you watch nascar? on foxtel?

sorry for the months late reply! but yeah. I watch it on fox sports.

last night saw the mexico city round. jp won and ambrose was 7th or 8th. good to see him doing well in the busch series too.

forget jp spining pruett, the best bit was pruett smashing into montoya for some revenege whilst they were on the victory lap!! never seen anyone get nailed after the checkered flag before... fun times.

Just to set the record straight....... Ambrose races in the Craftsman Truck Series and the Busch Series. Number 59 in the Busch series. He was racing in the Mexico City Race that Montoya won over the weekend. Ambrose was running 5th at one stage when i saw him. He ended up 8th.

Ambrose is a full time driver in the Busch series this year, truck series last year. He is hoping to qualify for 2 Nextel Cup race this year as well. Ambrose's entry into NASCAR combined with the fact I just got Foxtel has got me right into it. 8th is an awesome effort considering he was 5th when he got spun round on lap 64 and pushed back to 24th... he passed 7 cars on the final 2 laps. After 3 races this season Ambrose is currently equal 5th outright in the series and top rookie (above Montoya) although its a long season, 35 races!

As someone who thinks WRC is the supreme of all motorsports I used to think the circle racing was just stupid, and it kinda is. You gotta think of it as a drag race... but instead of being a quarter mile, its 400 miles.

    • Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again. 
    • Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.
    • Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!
