FZRC (Sarasota, FL)

FZ - SS race series. Two tracks four races, one a month for fours months.

T4

Had the TQ in the first qual by over a lap!!! Broke a MIP axle in the second qual.

GO at the tone! Jumped by TQ into first and powered away as 2nd and 3rd got into each others way!!!! THEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just after minute 3 I heard that sound I didn't want to hear. A loose slipper!!!!!!!!!!!!! For the next 5 minutes I watched 2nd get closer and closer, until he passed me. Last lap three turns to go and I touched a pipe, which broke a rear link and 3rd got by me!!!
