Rob, Bobby and I planned to race this class also. So did 5 other racers!!!

Rob was racing his Losi 22SCT 3.0, after last week at War Zone, he put his toys away for oval racing!

Johnny got the TQ, i was in 2nd and Rob started 3rd. Was by Johnny by turn two and spun in turn 3. Rob and I were by Johnny in two-three laps. got by Rob and was looking to pull away >>> THEN!!!!

Rolled her over in turn two and was never close to Rob after that. A couple more dumb moves and Rob had two laps on me. Rob's first CLEAR win over me!!! Was able to stay in front of Bobby for 2nd.

TQ!!!!  :-)

Was gone at the tone, tires NOT working, changed right rear for main >> didn't have the same traction!! Nosed into outer wall and Allen got by, then roller over pipe upside down. Thought I was only one lap down to Allen. Passed him, as I tried to put him down a lap in the last two turns, I nascared him into the wall!!! Waited for him, let him back in front, we passed under timing loop and he beat me by POINT 01 seconds!!! Found out I was TWO laps down not one!!!!!  :-)

Quad in 2nd, hit in left rear at turn one, this rolled the body up on the tire. then hit 2 times in turn 2. One of the turn 2 hits took the right front steering link loose. Was down 7 laps by the time link was re-fastened and I was back on drivers stand.

Was able to make 6 of the laps up to finish 3rd.  :-)
