RC10GT

TQ'd both qual's and sat upside down in the middle of the track as the marshals where working on dead RC's!!! A spectator ran over and righted me. I was very upset, almost just parked the RC10GT2. Choose to at least finish the race, even through I was almost a lap down. Got with in 30 foot of 1st and 2nd when they touched and was right on them. As we were finishing lap 3 from the finish, a bit of rain started. Have NEVER raced slick tires in the rain!!!! 1st and 2nd got a 20 foot lead on me. Was able to catch 2nd at the last turn, he slipped in the rain and I didn't for 2nd.

Shark and I battled for thw TQ in the 1st qual, shark on the last two laps was able to put 6 sec between us. Max show up (haven't race with him since FZRC) and as we lined up for the 2nd qual shark broke so I thought I had a op to out qual him. was running well until 10 laps to go when Max got up to speed and ran away with the TQ!!!! Was able to cut sharks qual time to just 4 sec's faster.

The bit of rain became a DOWN POUR!!!!

So my qual of 3rd is how the XXX-S finished for the day!

RAINED OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-(

RC10GT2

GREAT getting to race NITRO!!!!

TQ'd both quals. Got a clear run into turn 1, was on my way to a win (Well I am looking positively!!). But as the GT2 passed under the timing loop the engine move (lost 2 of the 4 mount bolts), two laps later was passed, now in 2nd was able to keep just enough speed to keep that placement to the end.

Losi XXX-S

TQ'd this class!!!!!! Don't know how that happened!!!

Same as with the GT2 got a clear run into turn 1 and was away looking for the win. five laps to go Scott was able to pass me, was able to stay close to him to the end!

RC10GT2

Wanted to try foam tires BUT this isn't possible until a 21 tooth clutch bell is bought and installed so the rubber tires were left on. Qual'd 2nd, was on 1st tail most of the main, but couldn't get by him!!!!!

Still racing NITRO again is just SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!

XXX-S

Set the rear axles full rear, then changed rear springs from blue to red (softer). One sweet handling RC. Getting ready for the A-main sauced the rear tires only to insure that there would be enough rear taction until the tires come up to race temp, have plenty of front traction.

Started 4th by turn six was 3rd, pushing 2nd he spin in a corner and I was gone!!! :-) Half lap from finish Shark in 3rd was far enough behind to NOT have a chance to take 2nd from my unless!!!! Yep, touched a pipe and he was by for 2nd!!!!!
