7/24/10 UPDATE!

Low turn out for Electric classes, there was a J Concepts Summer Tour race about 30 minute drive from 555 (Bartow).

My TQ in Short Course class from the 1st qual held up through the 2nd qual :-) At the tone we were racing FAST, lost 1st by he end of lap 2 and 2nd by lap 3 :-( Got my mind back into the race and started closing in on 2nd pasted him at the 10 minute mark, pasted 1st at the 13 minute mark. Put 2nd and 3rd down two laps by 14 minute mark as they ran out of lipo power!!!! Then I ran out of power at the 14 minute 15 sec mark!!! BUT have enough of a lead to keep 1st!!!

===

Next race is at DC Off-Road RC Park in Avon Park 7/31, it's electric ONLY racing, should be some SWEEET racn'.

Got the new SC body done Fri. This is the body my brother got for me in IL when I was there for the "Vintage Gathering". It's a Proline HardCore for a Traxxas Slash, Proline doesn't make this body anymore because it has a built in spoiler and ROAR dosen't allow this in SC class. Fit my SC10 100%!!! SWEEEEEEEEEET!!!

What is missing is my name on the doors, when I find where I put those, the paint will be done!.

555 raceway in Bartow it ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Matt and I drove over to get some ele truck racn' done!!! Haven't gotten "New" tires for months cause I've been racn' SC class. Just bearly beat Matt for 2nd!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was TQ in SC for a couple laps :-) during the first qualifier. Just before the SC main as I was removing a pinion gear from a motor the screw set broke and I drove a .050 allen driver through the tip and out the side my left index finger. :-( OUCH!!!!

Matt reminded me of a roll of electric tape in my pit box. Taped up the finger and to the drivers stand I went!!! Had the lead by turn 3, was in 2nd at the scoring line of the first lap and finished 3rd (10 seconds behind 2nd) by the end of the 10 minute main.

Met a kid, Jordon, who became the NEWEST "Make a RC Wish" kid. Was changing the pinion gear on that car when I stuck my finger.

One of the things I like about "Make a RC Wish" is the BIG eyes on a kid (AND Dad and Mom) when we hand them a complete ready to race RC car!!!
