RAINED OUT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-(

Was to be the last race ever at the "old" track!!! :-(

Farmers is moving east about one block to bigger building AND bigger track area!!!! << SWEEEET!!!!

===

Got to test the T4SC, my SC10 clone!! :-)

Put SC10 front wheels and Traxxas Slash rear wheels on, have some JConcepts GooseBumps tires and Rulux rims on the way to replace the Slash wheels.

Back to the test. With the above wheels, a SMC 5200 lipo battery, Teken 10.5 motor AND a lot of the rain water drained from the track I was ready!!! Second turn and third jump I was sold on SC wheels over the Stadium Truck wheels I had on the T4SC.

Now to find a track that is racing on Friday night or a Saturday!!!

Have some more tuning to do to the RC10T4SC truck, only finished 2nd :-)

Have had some odd lap times the last two races. I'm "normally" a 40 to 43 second lap time racer!!

Andy made the #24 numbers for me before he left for the COLD north!! So the body is done!!!!!

Farmers Scramble 2010

Learning how to setup a truck to race in the daylight, ALMOST un-doable!!!!

Glad they had 3 qualifiers, the first two where a total waste of my time!!!

I qualified 8th out of 8 trucks!!

Haven't qualified that poorly in a LONG time!!!

Setup by the main was still way off BUT good enough to equal last years finish >> 6th.

===

A racer have a radio/receiver/battery problem(s) and was about to pack up and just watch, he had paid $20.00 to race!!. When "Make a RC Wish" heard about his situation, stepped in and loaned him a "Modified" Duratrax BX buggy with a radio and LIPO battery to race. He was able to finish 6th!
