Steve got there by 7am, checked the track, booted the computer, loaded the printer. YEA!!! the printer works!!!

Richard (a Team Holly Rollers member) asked me for some more THR stickers for his new body AND for a buddy be brought to the race. I asked Richard IF he could ask his buddy the ? to become a THR member.
To become a member of TEAM HOLY ROLLERS you have to agree to a few simple proclamations.
1) You must believe that Jesus is GOD and is part of the Holy Trinity (Father, Son & Holy Spirit).
2) That Jesus Died for our sins.
3) and that once Jesus was dead that He rose from the dead and ascended to heaven.
4) That you will proclaim your beliefs when asked about them.
5) That your life reflects Christ (or at least you are tring to reflect Christ)
6) That when someone is in need and you have. That you will help with the kind of love that He has shown you.
He did and Jaivier became a member, BUT as Javier was anwsering the ? Steve came up and asked to be a member!!!!!
Two new members in 3-4 minutes!!! SWEEEEEET!!!!

RAIN on Friday!!! :-(
Steve was already at work draining the water from the track when I got there. Grabbed a shovel and joined in the track prep!! By 1pm the track was dry and we had one round of qual's in!! Odd thing, with the sun and wind we had to water the track for the mains!!!! 8-)
===
Qual'd in 2nd after three qual's! Very SWEET!!!
At the tone I bump drafted Richard (the TQ racer) about half way to turn one into the right lane pipe to move him out of my way!!! :-) By minute 4 of the 10 minute main he passed me for 1st :-( BUT at the 8 minute mark his speed control started to lipo "off" and I got by the 8:30 minute mark. He was back on the track, after a speed control reset and was behind me by about 10 foot at the finish!!!
A win is a WIN!!!! :-)
===
Got a XXX-SCT chassis to replace the XXXT extended chassis for the Losi SC truck, put a XXX-SCT base race setup on it with a couple changes I thought would make it better, PLUS good tires.
Drove WAY better with the new chassis. Drives like it's worth spending some $$$ on it now! So I order a rear bumper kit.
Won't be able to test or race it next week as it's "Make a RC Wish" SC Shootout weekend (1/29) and I will be busy doing car tech and running races. A VERY SWEET thing!!
===
New track to visit, FZRC, it's in Sarasota about 23 miles from the house. I heard it's about 350 foot run line, same as Lil' Dover SC track. They are planning to race every other Sunday. Was going to visit today BUT I stayed home, it was warmer inside.
They are racing 1/30 the day after "MRCW" SC S, figuring that I will be done in after my duties on the 29th that I will miss that one and try for there first race in Feb!!

Lil' Dover SC
Hard day of racn' WORE ME OUT!!!
1st qual at the 3 minute mark, the SC10 started acting odd!!! NO power in a right hand turn, about two feet after a turn I had full power!!! Parked the SC10 to check it out!!
As I was checking the slipper I noticed the lift axle was spinning in the wheel rim!! GREAT I thought, another ruined rim! It was just a busted axle pin!!! :-)
Qualified 2nd, drove way over my head, lost 2nd was lucky to keep 3rd!!!

At Lil' Dover SC tring to fine tune my drivers meeting skills. :-)
Had planed to race just one class BUT they needed another truck in Stadium Truck to make a class. Takes 3 to make a class. By the start of the first qualilfier there were two electric and two nitro truck in the class!
At the tone GO!!!! Was the last one to go at the tone, was in first after the first turn both qualifiers and first by the second turn in the main!!! The GT2-SC drove wonderfully and was still running at the end of each qual and main!!! VERY SWEEET!!!
Had the TQ in Mod SC with the SC10 by 5 seconds until the 2nd qaul and Richard topped me by two seconds.
:-( < cause I lost the TQ BUT :-) cause Richard is a Team Holy Rollers member!!!!
Dennis and I tangled about 20 foot into the main, he got to the first turn in last place. By lap 5 he was in the lead and I was 3rd (of 8 trucks). That is how we finished with Dennis also lapping me with two minutes left in the main.
