SS Hobbies and Raceway (Tampa, FL)
GT2-SC
Planned to race Nitro SC with the GT2-SC, tossed two MIP pins during the 1st qual!!!!
SC10
Out came the SC10 with 2 minutes to go. Changed rear tires from NONE to some!!! Put a transponder in and was on the track with a minute to go!! Was enough to know WRONG rear tires!!
Da' Main!! Part of the pack took out 1st, 2nd and 3rd out before we crossed the start line!!!! Was in 1st at turn one, the rest of the pack took me out!!! Finished 3rd after a very hard 8 minutes of racn'!!!!!
T4
What can be said TQ'd and finished 1st. Finished two laps up on 2nd!!
B4.1
First qual Rib fronts and Losi silvers on the back. NOT good!!!
Second qual Scrubs on the front and Losi silvers on the rear much better!!
Main Scrubs front and Hole Shots rear go at the tone from 2nd start position.
Went from 2nd to last in turn one <<< I'm beginning to NOT like turn one!!!
Took 5 of the 8 minute main to get to 4th, finished on the same lap as 3rd just over a half a lap behind him!!

FZRC (Sarasota, FL)
Got a B4.1 buggy last week at SS Hobbies and Raceway in Tampa, FL.
Put some ball bearing in the steering, some Proline Scrubs on the front and super soft VP Pros Turbo Trax on the rear.
Qual's were NOT so good dogbone first qual and front steering hub in the second!!!
Put Red Dot tire sauce on and I'm ready for some FAST racing!!
Lap three, I was comfortable with the setup that the front triple became a single (was the only racer doing this), was having some GREAT fun. Haven't raced 1/10 2wd buggy since 2009!!!
With two laps to go and the right dogbone came loose again!!! Have CVD's on order, hope they will be here in time to race at SS this coming Sunday. Finished 6th!

Cole was there again so I offered the SC10 to him to race in Mod SC. He gave Bruce a good run, but Bruce finished in front. Cole got a 2nd in his first SC race!

SS Hobbies and Raceway (Tampa, FL)
Planned to race the T4 and GT2-SC today, did bring the SC10 just in case.
T4
Between the 1st and 2nd qual's checked to see if the sensor side bearing was ok, oiled it a couple weeks ago and the noise was back. It was bad, as I was checking to see if I had one. Found that the wheel bearing for a AE RC was the same size!!!
I didn't think that the bearing change would make a BIG diff until I did a hot lap before the 2nd qual. There is a triple jump that I had been doing a single - single on, as I power down the lane I just didn't back off, landed at the base of the third jump! SWEEEEET!!!
Go at the tone, over the triple for the 2nd lap and both rear tire came off the rims and the T4 landed 10 feet past the third jump!!!!!!!! Guess I need to turn the radio down!
Lap 3 as I went to pass a back marker hit a pipe and removed the right rear a-arm!! I'm done, for a 5th.
===
GT2-SC
Lets just get to the fun!!! POWER Wheelies the 2nd half of the front straight!!! The WOWS!! were great to hear!! The GT2-SC jumped, turned and powered out of the turns just SWEEEEET!!
Da' Main!! Got ran over in turn one! Was about 20 foot behind 1st by lap three, got that down to 5 by lap 6. Then a MIP cvd pin left the known universe from the right axle!!! Finished 6th.
