FZRC (Sarasota, FL)
Hoped to race the T4 OR SC10 in the 2nd race of the 6 race series.
Didn't look like there would be enough Stadium Trucks (ST) so I signed up for Mod SC and started preparing for that class. Gough had joined me at my ez-up for the day, this is his first race on clay since Farmers closed. Shortly after Gough showing up that Mike showed up, had a FULL pit of ex-farmers racers!!!! With Mike's ST we had a class so the T4 will be raced! :-)
T4
1st qual wasn't so good for me finished 4th. 2nd qual was a bit better finished 3rd. Go at the tone and by lap two was in 1st and finished that way!!!!!
SC10
Qualified in 3rd, by turn two was in 2nd by turn five NASCARed 1st out of my way and lead for over 4 minutes. As I was trying to pass a back marker we touched and I was on a pipe, 2nd and 3rd got by and I never got close enough to try to get back into 1st.

SC10
First race on carpet with the new alm parts. New rear "O" degree hubs and rear plate, these assisted in making the SC10 jump flatter than before. Started having a notchie throttle coming out from under the bridge, hope the 508 no timing software upgrade installed for the next race will fix that, other wise the SC10 was just SWEEEEET! To bad the racer that finished in front of me was having an even SWEEEEEETer race day!!!! :-)
===
My sister Kathy is down from IL and has never seen a RC race so she joined me for a few short (7) hours of RC fun.
While we where there a RC buddy from the Farmers Hobby & Raceway days stopped by to race with us! Sure was GREAT to visit with Gough and revisit our past at Farmers!!!

Loading for a race sure is easier with the retirement of the Losi XXX-SCT!!!! :-)
SC10
Earlier in the week installed a set of JConcepts front axles, what a SWEEEET difference! You can tighten the wheel nut down tight and NOT lock the axle from rotating.
"O" degree rear alm hubs came in also, these went on very easy, didn't make any noticeable change to how the rear worked. But as I understand it, they will last a LONG time.
===
Let's RACE!!!
Saturday at FZ was a Super Cup race, THE fast of the FAST came to race <<< reason I didn't. :-)
Sunday, hoped that the FAST racers would have gone home, NO such luck!
Qualified 7th drove my tail off to finish 7th!!!
===
FZ\'s parts store has a GS alm rear chassis brace on the wall. Asked Marty what my price was to own this part. He said because of the assist that I done for him, other adults and ALL the kids that have been helped the past two years, my price was FREE.
