Mann's RC (Ruskin, FL)
Hoping for a GOOD day of On Road racing, was NOT disappointed!!!
===
Spec-R S2
13.5 TC
TQ'd first qual and removed right front a-arm during second qual!!!
Odd bit NO parts broken!!!!! Flexed enough to pull arm pin out of mounts!
Lost both pivot balls, hobby shop didn't have the ones needed, so. Checking bits, AE shock 6472 shock bushing with a little trimming and enlarging the mount hole, had two pivot balls.
A bit of tire sauce and go at to tone for win #199 of 666 races!
===
SC10GT-E
5 laps into first qual, pinion gear wanted to see the outside wall of the track, turn two!!
Gear was located and new set screw used. Thought it would be a good idea to put an outer, smaller, gear on also, so if gear was to come loose, wouldn't have to look for it.
TQ'd second qual, well enough to get the pole for the main.
Go at the tone for win #200 of 667 races.

T2
Qual'd 4th and piped on lap two, marshal re-hooked right front link for me. Was able to come from 8th for a 5th place finish!!

Figured out what was going on with my mind. A touch of depression, from >>>>> being in the middle of trying to get house ready to sale so we can move to TN!!!!
Found a fix! IF we are not moved by the end of October, we will be in the Smokies (first full week on November) for a week of R and R!!!!!

Rob picked me up for some off road racing today. Clay, soda treated, JC lil' Chasers are the tires to have. 100 to 60% tread on the rear and 10% in the front work well.
Tire day for me testing other brands and treads to see if there was a better tire. After practice and first qual, Chasers were back on for the main.
TQ and go at the tone, would like to say I looked GREAT driving away with the win, BUT. Piped it 2 times and had to work from 3rd back to 1st, then finished a lap up (crossed the timing loop ahead of the rest, to get a lap on everyone at the end of 6 min main).
2nd started 5th and 3rd started 3rd.
