Mann's RC (Ruskin, FL)
Had not planned to race, had been a bit sick. Thinking it a bit of a cold.
Woke up, felt fine, packed up the SC5M for some off road fun!!!!
===
SC5M
The problem with racing off road as little as I do is NEVER having the newest/greatest tires of the day for clay outdoor. Tested 3 sets of tires besides the 2 sets that were on the SC5M. By the main was running VP-Pro AXMAN on the rear (had those in the tire box from spring 2011), put some JConcepts Bar Code (Blue) on the front, had just got these for a race at Newred the 12/26/15.
TQ'd both qual's and won the main!!!
Got a bit sick before the mains, dizzy, head pain and upset stomach, eat a bag of chips and it all went away. Guess I was hungry!!! With just 3 classes figured it would be a quick day, not so took over an hour for the computer and timing loop to work, raced the qual took a break and the computer/loop didn't work for another hour!!! Had planed to go to Mcd'd for lunch!!

Mann's RC (Ruskin, FL)
For retiring for full time RC racing, I sure am racing MORE!!!!
===
GT2-E
Bobby took it to me every qual and in the main!!!!
2nd 3 laps back from Bobby!!!
===
TC4
Odd wheel day, just the start of the day!! Left front came off during the 2nd qual, then the righ front came off during the main!!!! One of the thing I check before going out per race is the nuts that hold the tires on. Never found the 1st nut, found the 2nd, NO threads in it!!!
Started 4th finish 7th of 8!!!
===
Spec-R S2
TQ'd both qual's, figured IF everything went right another VTA class win is in the books. :-)
2nd and 3rd got by me in turn two, was just a foot behind 1st and 6 inches behind the 2nd as we went under the timing loop. Moved to the right to pass both of them AND >>>> NASCARED the wall for 20 foot, taking the right front wheel and hub off!!!!!
===
SC10GT-E
Some how the timing got screwed up, during both qual!!! Had lapped every one at least two times and I didn't get the TQ!!!!!
Go at the tone, DID and was gone!!! Lapped every one again and the timing WORKED!!!
===
Had not planned to race until 12/26/2015 at Newred in Ocala, BUT!!!!
Got a PM the Chris (owner of Mann's RC) had fell while cutting some tree limbs at off road track. Report >> back broken in 3 places, ribs broken, lung punctured and a concussion. All this happen am morning of 11/30/15. Because of injuries, he had open heart surgery 12/3/15 and came through fine.
Chris is one of the GOOD guys of RC!!!!!
