SS Hobbies (Tampa, FL)

Rob's car caught fire at work, seat (pass side) shorted out. So, we were about an hour late getting to track. Picked up rental car first.

===

Little side bit, getting house cleaned up (remove 18 years of junk) so we can move to TN is taking longer than we thought, so my mind isn't FULLY on racing!!!

===

GT2-E

Never made it to half way in first qual, and was done in ST class for the day.

Nosed a jump, moved the motor AND removed the servo mounts from the servo. Didn't have a backup servo.

===

SC5M

Qual'd 2nd in first heat, was 3rd after second heat. 2nd round of qual's, my first round was good enough to hold on to 3rd.

Go at the tone and first turn 2nd slowed more than I though he would and NASCARED him, slowed to let him back into 2nd and 3 racers hit him. Screwed 3 jumps (Same jump. 3 laps in a row) finished 7th.

===

The BEST part of the day, after signing up while walking back to the pit, seen Jeff and his son Corey (both Team Holly Rollers members, like I am) We haven't seen each other in almost 2 years! Corey is almost 2 feet taller!!!!!
