12/26/10

Great day of racn'!!!

TQ and finished 1st in Ele Stadium Truck!!!

Had TQ in Ele SC until the 2nd qual and Ronnie bested me by 3/4 of a sec!!!

During the 2nd qual as I was jumping up on to the table top the WIND (it was 25 mph) caused the SC10 to bank to the left like a airplane and landed on to the berm of a turn like I had planed it!!!

Main I was 2nd coming out of the turn two, the pack ran me down by turn three :-) was seven by turn turn four, 2nd by turn 6! Had a back marker jump out of his lane and turned me and I never got close to Richard to take 2nd back!!

RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-(

===

Did a SC10 setup comparsion to the XXXT-SC setup. Wanting a "Stock" or "Open" class option. From center to side of truck, there are some shock and link mount differences BUT not as much as I thought there would be.

Adjusted the XXXT-SC to the SC10 setup as close as the mount options allowed, tested on my "yard" track. WHAT a DIFFERENCE!!!! The rear isn't looping out like it did with the setup I had on it!

Hope to do some qualifier testing 12/26/10, IF it passes, I'll leave the SC10 in the car and race the XXXT-SC in the main!

Lil' Dover Short Course

Steve (race director) and I worked on getting the Losi XXXT-SC setup to race today. By the end of practice I thought the Losi was ready to race!! After the first of three qualifiers I parked the Losi and got the SC10 out. Missed TQ by 3 seconds :-(

BUT finished first in the 10 minute main with over a half lap lead on second.

Didn't race the T4 or the GT2-SC, to cold and the lipo batteries where charging very slow (lipo batteries don't like the cold).

Built a Losi XXXT-SC about ten months ago for a racer, he didn't want it anymore so I own it now, hope it will be a worth addition to the race fleet! :-)
