Fellow Team Holy Rollers member from GA, Marc stoped by to race and fellowship with me at Farmers Hobby and Raceway. It's NOT often that out of state THR members see another member!!
Between qualifiers Marc's brother Sal joined Team Holy Rollers, who lives about two miles from me!!!!
So how did we do!
Mod Short Course a 4th for me and a 9th for Sal <<< not bad for a racer who hasn't raced in seven years!!!
4WD Short Course Marc finished 1st!!! SWEEEEEET!!!
===
Marc, Sal and I are making plans to race at DC Off-Road RC Park July 3 in their Electric Only MONEY race!!!
===
Picked up a 17.5 Fendom motor so I can race in "Stock" Short Course as a "Stock" racer!!! :-)

Short Course
1st qual was 2nd fastest (VERY SWWWWWEEEEEET!) then the motor got HOT enough to UN-solder a motor lead!!!!!!!
Tired of this brushed motor deal, a dead motor a week!!!
Put the 13.5 Speed Passion system in, I'm done with brush motors
OH! I finished 3rd! Top three finished on the same lap, that's a GOOD day:-)
===
2wd buggy
They put us in with the 4wd buggies, Hey, racn' is racn'!!!
Can NOT throw a J82 into a turn like you can a SC10 :-(
2wd buggies you have to watch your "P's" and "Q's" or they are NOT fast!!
The 4ws leader only lapped me two times!!! BUT I did finish 1st in 2wd buggy!!!

Stock Short Course
Finally!!!! Dave finished behind me!!! Only took two months for me to do this!!! Had some help though, the 1st place racer put him in the wall and missed me!!! :-) Dave couldn't catch me after the hit!!!
Even a 2nd that is in front of Dave is like a 1st!!! :-)
Assisted Matt in getting his RC10T4 setup like my T4, looks like I will have competition in Stadium Truck next week!!!!

Raced "Stock" Short Course only! Wasn't feeling 100%, so I choose to race one class.
100%!!! Completely forgot to charge my NEWEST Lipo battery, found out lap two of the first qualifier!!!
Lucky the Lipo wasn't killed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
===
Took some time to get some food and drink in me, by round two I was feeling MUCH better AND the Sun was down for the night!!
The racer who I have NEVER beat, asked me about setup he had a turning problem!!! What do I do??? Assist him or let him suffer a lose to me in the main! :-) Worked with him to make sure we had a fair race!!
I finished 2nd behind him with a CLEAR conscience!!
===
Assisted another racer get his T4 setup for the track conditions, he won his class!!! :-)

Stock Short Course, just as the first qualifier was called my motor dumped!!!! With a AE SC10 I'm limited to a 17 turn motor :-( The closest that I had was a 13x3!!! In it went, turned the radio throttle down from 150% to 120% hoping to make it like a 17 turn for power. Qualified 4th so I guess the radio was set OK. Finished 2nd!!! :-)
Electric Stadium truck qualified 1st of two trucks, finished 1st in class behind a Gas Truck and a 4wd buggy.
===
Rebuilt the 17 turn motor, so I'm hoping things will be OK for next Friday (5/7/10) night under the lights at Farmers!!!
