Mann's RC (Ruskin, FL)
GT2-E
Jato Class, didn't plan to race this class, took the GT2-E to do some testing for "Autocross" class at the "Lube" in two weeks. Tested better than the GT-E that I have been racing at both tracks.
Go at the tone TQ'd both quals and won the main!!! Guess the GT2-E works well!!!!
===
TC4
Qual'd 2nd in both qual's and finished 2nd in the main.

XXX-S

FZRC (Sarasota, FL)
SC10GT-E
Great fun, tires NO fun, until the main!!!
Walked passed Jim's pit (he normally finishes first), as we are talking had a look at the tires he was using. Have the same tires in "Gold" compound, he is running "Blue" compound. Bar Codes front and Double D's rear.
Go at the tone, started 4th, was in 2nd by turn two, was in 5th by turn four!!!!!! Worked back to 3rd then hit a pipe to finish 4th.
===
Have NEVER tried those treads at the same time and at that ends of the SC10GT-E. Traction and steering were just SWEEEEEET!!!!.

Quaker Steak and Lube (Clearwater, FL.)
Monday night OVAL <<< my first REAL oval race(s).
===
TC4
Lap two of warmup before the 1st qual, hit a pipe, took the left front wheel off.
Lap three of warmup before the 2nd qual, hit a pipe (same spot!!!!), took the left front wheel off.
Go at the tone, started in 7th, was 4th by the end of turn one and was looking for the racer in 1st!!!! Was able to get by 3rd before 1st and 2nd lapped me!!!!! A 3rd is just SWEEET in my first OVAL race.
===
GT-E
GT class, IF it doesn't fit any other class it fits in GT class. 1st qual, coming out of turn two hit a RC BEHIND a turn marshal!!!!
Line up 4th in the B-main, was in 2nd by the end of turn one, by half way 1st was on my tail, which I was thinking I had got by him a couple laps earlier (there are a LOT of wreaks in OVAL racing it seems) and was just ahead of him!!! Winner bumps up to the A-main, watch him come from 9th to first in 10 laps!!! Then got hit by a back marker, he was able to recover for a 2nd.
===
Update on the TC4
Even though the TC4 raced good it still was acting odd at the start. Did some checking today, bottom start software is bad from the hubs last Sat, took the motor, senser wire AND esc out. Took 3 months of looking on ebay and RC Tech to get these!!!!!

Quaker Steak and Lube (Clearwater, FL)
TC4
What a mess! Both rear hubs over heated and rounded out, BUT the bearing are good!!!!!!! Because of the added drag, the Losi 13.5 motor fried!!!
===
XXX-S
Had a bit of a problem in first qual of VTA, tires weren't working 100%, still TQ'd BUT worked way to hard for the TQ.
New set of tires and 2nd qual was way better, TQ'd it!
Go at the tone, first into turn one and was gone!!!
===
GT-E
Running out of foam tires so changed to rubber tires.
TQ'd both qual's and was first into turn one, JUST like VTA and was gone for the win!!
===
Sunday update on the TC4, senser wire is bad from ESC to motor. Replace that and install a Speed Passion 10.5 motor. Still acts a little off but just at the start.

SC10GT-E
GREAT to be with OFF ROAD racer friends!!!!!
Same as always, TIRES!!! What tread, what compound, sauce or NOT, so many bits compared to On Road!!!
Waiting for the groove to build, IF it does Proline Calibers M3 on the rear should work. Qual'd 4th, groove was on and I'm in 3rd looking for 2nd, when a CVD ball at the diff was twisted off. Finished 7th!!
