da' Lube (Clearwater, FL)

SC5M

AutoCross, they setup the Robby Gordon Super Truck ramps (3). Wasn't until the 2nd qual (of two in first round) that these are an OPTION!!!!!! Lost TQ by 13 sec.

Didn't touch a jump in 2nd qual, had TQ by a lap!!!!!!

Lead the first lap then  Chris DROVE by me as we passed a ramp!! I didn't think there was room for two!!!

Nice 2nd. :-)

Spec-R S2

VTA, lined up with a kid. Only two in the class today. :- (

Just before the tone the track director said to the kid to take it easy for a couple laps until he got use to a VTA. At that second, RC WISH rules went into effect. Let the kid go first, don't pass him until he wrecks.

After that qual, he lined up with me in AutoCross, THAT IS WHEN I REMEMBERED HIM!!!! He has been winning on Monday night Oval at da' Lube and had beat me.

2nd qual and the main pushed hard until he was a lap down then backed off and cruised!!!

Rob picked me up on his way to Mann's.

GT2-E

As Rob was going to race in Jato class, took the GT2-E. TQ'd the first qual. That is as good as it was!!! The main, the rear would slip and the front hook, was able to hold on for a 3rd. Rob make that easy! Slipper mount wasn't working right and couldn't get it to work!!!

Spec-R S2

ONLY VTA there!!!! They needed another RC to make the 13.5 TC class, SO! :-)

TQ'd both qual's and won the main.

SC5M

Rob is in this one looking for the win, NOT! TQ'd both qual's and won the main.

He had problems with the esc thermalling <<< we thought!!!!!

After Rob got home, he found he didn't calibrate the esc to the radio.
