555 raceway in Bartow it ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Matt and I drove over to get some ele truck racn' done!!! Haven't gotten "New" tires for months cause I've been racn' SC class. Just bearly beat Matt for 2nd!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was TQ in SC for a couple laps :-) during the first qualifier. Just before the SC main as I was removing a pinion gear from a motor the screw set broke and I drove a .050 allen driver through the tip and out the side my left index finger. :-( OUCH!!!!
Matt reminded me of a roll of electric tape in my pit box. Taped up the finger and to the drivers stand I went!!! Had the lead by turn 3, was in 2nd at the scoring line of the first lap and finished 3rd (10 seconds behind 2nd) by the end of the 10 minute main.

Met a kid, Jordon, who became the NEWEST "Make a RC Wish" kid. Was changing the pinion gear on that car when I stuck my finger.
One of the things I like about "Make a RC Wish" is the BIG eyes on a kid (AND Dad and Mom) when we hand them a complete ready to race RC car!!!
