FZRC (Sarasota)
XXX-SCT
Loaded the Speed Passion GT1.1 esc and Novak 13.5 motor on the XXX-SCT. Tested well, decided to race the first qual with this.
SC10
Loaded the new Castle Sidewinder SCT esc and Castle 4700 motor on the SC10. After talking with my brother Rick. Put Losi orange shock pistons and springs on the front and Losi red shock piston and springs on the rear! This created one Sweet turning SC!!!
Decided to race this in the 2nd qual, then race the one I liked in the main!
Was listed 6th with the Losi XXX-SCT, but after the 2nd qual with the SC10 I was starting in 4th! Sweet!!!
Now comes the rant!!!!! :-(
Was 3rd into the 2nd turn, two orange SC's hacked me into 7th and one hacked me lap after lap after lap, by the time I got clear of him (don't know if it was just one of them or they took turns!) I was two laps down! Then 1st passed me on the last lap to put me down 3! I was able to get a 5th, just a foot or two behind 4th!!!
===
Worked with Jim to better mount his new Slash body. We both got a couple hot dogs/drink and sat in my pits to talk about the RC hobby! Jim then went out and finished 1st in the Mod SC B-main, so he bumped up into the A-main with me! Jim finished on the same lap as me in 6th.

FIRCC (Plant City)
Wanted to race the SC10, WANTED IT BAD!!!!!! :-)
After four practice sessions, moved to the XXX-SCT!!!!
20 foot into the 4th practice the Castle Sidewinder SCT esc died in the SC10!!!! :-(
Had fast enough 1st qual to put me into the A-main, 5th starting place. After the 2nd qual I was still in the A-main but will start 8th!
6 of the 8 in the A-main were ex-Farmers racers! Very SWEEEET!!!
Started 8th finished 8th, ANY time you make the A-main where ever you finish it's SWEEEET!!
===
FIRCC did a redesign of the off-road track, keep the cross over, added a LONG back straight. John (the designer) wants MORE space for this design BUT the room is only so big!

Losi XXX-SCT
Put the Speed Passion GT1.1 esc in with a new (used) Novak 13.5 motor that I got on R/C Tech Buy/sale section. Paid $20 shipped for the motor. :-)
Qual'd 6th, The five in front of me, I have NEVER beat unless they broke!
Was in 6th until lap 19, got by 5th and 4th and was able to hold them off for the last three laps for 4th!! :-)
===
Associated SC10
Had a Castle Sidewinder SCT esc with a Fantom 17.5 motor installed and was testing this setup as a possible option in case the Losi wasn't running right.
Ran out of time, as I was also assisting Conner with his HPI Blitz.
===
"Make a RC Wish" donated 10 free 20oz Coke products coupons for the top three finishers in each class.

Yupers
After driving 62.5 miles to get there didn't get to race cause they were racn' their "series" and I had not raced any of the other "series" races. BUT the "series" racers would gladly race with us after the "series" race!!!!! Guess they didn't need the $20 to race!!
===
Got to see and talk with Mike (he didn't get to race either) about racn' and THR t-shirts. Ordered a t-shirt to see how they will look before I inform the THR members!
Had a GREAT time talking about the "OLD DAYS at Farmers". Sure miss that track, Greg and most of the racers! "Friday Night Under the Lights!!!"
