FZRC (Sarasota)
Short Course King (SCK)
SCK held their first race for 2012 series at FZRC today 2/11/12, they had standing water on the track at 1am from the evening rain. By sun up NO water and by 9am the track was ready to race!!! Marty (track owner) and crew had prepared a SWEEEEET track! They did part of this back in August when they changed from black sand to red clay.
Had planned to race the Losi XXX-SCT in 17.5 “Blinky” Stock SC class. Finished 5th in the first qual and 5th again in the 2nd qual which put me in the B-main starting 6th. At the timing line of the 1st lap I was in 3rd, with 2nd and 1st about 10 feet in front of me. By the finish of lap two they had a 20 foot lead on me and 4th was just behind me. That racer and I battled most of the race for 3th/4th place. 2 laps from the finish we touched and 5th and 6th got by me. I think I got back by them but didn’t get by 3rd!

Just a few more races and I will have race 300 races, I’m at 284 as of today!!!
