FZRC (Sarasota)
SC10
Was sweet, KINDA!!!! FZRC track crew put calcium on the track surface Sat night AND the track surface wasn't ready at 8:15am when I put the SC10 on the track for a test!
Needed some SUN to burn (dry) the surface in.
Planned to race the SC10 in the first qual and the XXX-SCT in the second qual then race the best in a main.
Parked the SC10 before the qual's!!!!!!!
XXX-SCT
Remember I removed the Losi trans and installed a Associated trans.
TESTING was GREAT! Adjusted the front and rear camber, moved some weight from the front to the rear. Found a set of Proline Calibers (M4 rubber compound)that I had "Sauced" with belt dressing. The XXX-SCT was the MOST neutral handling RC I have ever drove!!!!
It took me 3 minutes of the 2nd qual to see how hard I could drive it, missed the A-main by 7 sec. So I TQ'd the B-main and lead for 4 of the 6 minutes. I was passed just a lap AFTER I passed 3rd, so I knew I would bump up to the A-main.
Started the A-main in 10th, was in 4th at the 6th corner of the first lap when 5th - 8th ran over me coming out of 6th!!!! Crossed the timing line in 9th and it took 10th five minutes to catch and pass me! :-)

Team Holly Rollers member Scott and I have been trying to meet for about four months. On the drivers stand waiting to start the 2nd qual another racer (Jeff) introduced himself and Scott was standing next to him. I didn't know Scott was there and he didn't know I was there until then.
As I was restocking Scott's supply of THR stickers, he told me about Jeff. :-) Scott has been showing the LOVE of Jesus with Jeff and he is now back in church, where Dad go's so does the family!!! :-) As I was talking with Jeff his son, Corey, came up to use, I know Corey as we have raced each other in Stadium Truck and SC. Jeff asked how he could be a part of THR. I carry a copy of the 7? and a bag of stickers with me when I go to a track to race. When Jeff asked what stickers Corey wanted on his RC's, he said GREEN AND it was about time they where members!!!
