RAIN on Friday!!! :-(
Steve was already at work draining the water from the track when I got there. Grabbed a shovel and joined in the track prep!! By 1pm the track was dry and we had one round of qual's in!! Odd thing, with the sun and wind we had to water the track for the mains!!!! 8-)

Qual'd in 2nd after three qual's! Very SWEET!!!
At the tone I bump drafted Richard (the TQ racer) about half way to turn one into the right lane pipe to move him out of my way!!! :-) By minute 4 of the 10 minute main he passed me for 1st :-( BUT at the 8 minute mark his speed control started to lipo "off" and I got by the 8:30 minute mark. He was back on the track, after a speed control reset and was behind me by about 10 foot at the finish!!!
A win is a WIN!!!! :-)

Got a XXX-SCT chassis to replace the XXXT extended chassis for the Losi SC truck, put a XXX-SCT base race setup on it with a couple changes I thought would make it better, PLUS good tires.
Drove WAY better with the new chassis. Drives like it's worth spending some $$$ on it now! So I order a rear bumper kit.
Won't be able to test or race it next week as it's "Make a RC Wish" SC Shootout weekend (1/29) and I will be busy doing car tech and running races. A VERY SWEET thing!!

New track to visit, FZRC, it's in Sarasota about 23 miles from the house. I heard it's about 350 foot run line, same as Lil' Dover SC track. They are planning to race every other Sunday. Was going to visit today BUT I stayed home, it was warmer inside.
They are racing 1/30 the day after "MRCW" SC S, figuring that I will be done in after my duties on the 29th that I will miss that one and try for there first race in Feb!!
