Rain it seems, scared enough racers so NO racing!!! :-(
The racers that DID show up, had a GREAT night of fellowship, PLUS test and tune!
I'm still learning how to control a Tekin 10.5 brushless motor (I had a 13.5 motor before).
===
Did some testing of the "Make a RC Wish" Rustler, this truck should be ready to give a kid (boy OR girl) by 8/28!

Another GREAT night of racing at Farmers!
A bit of lighting and rain at the end of round two's first qualifier had some racers running to put their stuff away!!! I was out marshaling so I was stuck out on the track. :-)
Seems there has been so much rain AND shoveling around the timing loop (wire) it's not reading every lap for every car!!!! This caused some upset with some racers. Which is completely understandable :-). A new "loop" is ready to be installed this week.
After the lighting, rain and loop problem, I was the only electric truck left!!! So I was place in with the stock and Mod Short Course, AND electric 4wd buggies. This was a VERY INTERESTING race!!! On lap two a ball stub pulled out of the front shock tower, I was three laps down by the time I got it fixed. Was only two laps down to 1st, 2nd and 3rd by the end of the 12 minute main.
This was my 3rd race with a Tekin 10.5 motor (was racing with a Speed Passion 13.5) LOT MORE POWER and SWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!
===
Got some update parts for the "Make a RC Wish" Rustler to replace the bushing parts. Put some 80% worn out race tires on for some track testing. I have been amazed by the drive-ability of this Traxxas truck!! Looking to have the Rustler ready by 8/21/09 to give to a kid.

RED Clay!!! Like the black/brown clay of IL track more!!!
Got a few practice laps in with the T4SC before the rains came! :-(
===
A racer gave "Make a RC Wish" a complete ready to run (notice I didn't say RACE) Traxxas Rustler with 3 batteries and a charger. Will be getting some RACE tires and a few tools together, already have put a 19SPEC motor in the Rustler.
Will test (IF NO RAIN) it's race readiness at Farmers 8/14, before we start looking for a kid to give this to.
