Losi XXX-SCT
As I was standing on the drivers stand, for the Stock SC class, I looked over my left shoulder and watched 5 KIDS place their SC's on to the track and come on to the drivers stand!!!!!!! As I was beginning to step down and go change to Mod SC class a ADULT stepped on to the drivers stand! TQ'd both qual's and finished 1st, 2 laps ahead of the other ADULT, in Stock SC.
Race director called me out just before the start of the main. Said I should start last to give the KIDS a even chance. Moved to the rear of the start order, by turn 5 was in 3rd, by turn 6 was in 2nd, by the start/finish line was in 1st. Drove through the pack, started in 7th, in one lap.
Looking to change to Mod SC next race!

Pinion gear came loose during both qual's in Stadium Truck class. So I qual'd 4th. During the main, going into turn 4 about 3 inches behind Max in 1st, 3rd hit the T4 in the left rear and knocked the top link loose, after I got the T4 and rear axle from the turn marshal, walked over to the pits. Put the bits back together and was back in the action 5 laps down!!!
There was enough time to get two laps back!!! So I finished in 4th down by three laps!!! Told Max (in 1st) that I had nothing to lose as I'm 5 laps down so stay out of my way! Wanted Max to know I wasn't going to be nice (passing anyone) making up laps.
