FZRC (Sarasota,FL)
XXX-SCT
Planned to race the Losi XXX-SCT, during practice it just wasn't running like it should. Don't know if it's the ESC or the Motor. Hope to have the Reedy Neo1 in house in time for the next race. Plan to use the Speed Passion GT1.1 esc with that motor.
==========
SC10
Got the backup out >>>> SC10 that is setup for carpet!
During the 1st qual as I passed Bill for 1st we touched (I got to close and touched him) which put me into the wall, this broke the T-bar that holds the rear suspension together. Then during the 2nd qual I broke the right front C-hub!!! Still finished well enough to start 2nd in the main.
Was a half sec behind Bill at lap 2, as we came up to the last turn before the timing loop (TL), Bill nosed into a pipe, this let be by! Between lap 3 and lap 5 I was able to put 8 sec between us. Lapped everyone but 2nd and 3rd, was at 3rd (Mike) rear bumper 3 turns from the TL and just followed him across the finish line.
==========
On any given day at a track, Bill, Mike and I can beat each other. We are very equal to each other. This makes for some GREAT racing!!! :-)
==========
Jim asked me if I would like to learn to run the race program at HWIRCR. So he would be able to race the "Force Series". The main race director will be there, I will just run a race per qual and main. Last time I had a mic in my hands I was preaching!!!!

HMIRCR (Sarasota Square Mall)
SC10
Decided that the SC10 would be the ONLY RC to race. 1st qual was a bit rough, but TQ'd by one lap. The TQ lasted to the main! :-)
2nd qual was junk left steering inner ball cup won't stay on!! Lost the whole link in the 3rd qual!!!!!!!
Had one of the lower bolts break off in the top plate. Had just enough time to do a change out before the main.
A lot of bumping, ramming, jumping on to, jumping over, jumping into spectators area and pushing other SC out of the way that where upside down, ALL by ME!!!! As I lead most of the race! As I was in the spectators area 2nd got by me and I was able to get back within 3.611 sec's at the finish!!!

HWIRCR (Sarasota)
AC! AC! AC! AC! <<<< SWEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!! :-)
SC10
Track was sweet, SC10 was sweet, racn' was sweet.
Put a new set of PL M3 Calibers on the rear. After 5 minutes of practice and two 5 minute qual's the M3 Hole Shots where bald!!!! Went from 3rd place in first qual and 4th in the 2nd qual on Hole Shots, to TQ in the 3rd qual!!!!
Was in 2nd when I miss jumped the triple and 3rd got around me. Finished .312 behind him, for 3rd. When your running 11.5xx per lap having a 4 sec lead over 3rd isn't much.

Hobby Marketplace Indoor R/C Raceway
HMIRCR (Sarasota)
New track, carpet off road inside Sarasota Square Mall.
As you can imagine it's a bit small, as it's in a regular sized rental space in a mall. Small and challenging design, had a SWEEET 15 minute on track visit.
===
RC10T2
Changed the F/R wheels to Hole Shots for my visit to HMIRCR, they were HOOK UP!!!! Decided to try a 13.5 instead of the 17.5 I had in the T2. With the Speed Passion GT1.1, the T2 is one SWEEEET truck!!!

FZRC 7/1/2012 (Sarasota, FL)
RC10T2
Put a few laps in just to see how the T2 worked!!! Very SWEET!!!
===
Traxxas Slash 4wd
Ran the Traxxas Slash 4wd that "Make a RC Wish" received a week ago. Wish the track was "Black Grooved" like it gets just before the mains!
Traxxas Slash 2wd
Ran the 2wd Traxxas Slash also. Was very surprised that a 3 and a half year old SC handled so well! Check out Finn below!
===
SC10
The only change from racn' at Eli was, I changed the rear tire side to side. The LRP X11 7.5 is one POWER HOUSE of a motor!!!
Qual'd 4th and finished 3rd. SWEEEEET!!!!
===
FINN
Sunday at FZRC in Sarasota, FL a young man (Finn) received a Traxxas Slash 2wd with bat's, charger, wheels, tools, and parts, from "Make a RC Wish". He finished 3rd in ST class, no NOVICE class for this kid!!!! FZRC gave Finn a FREE race day with them.
