FZRC (Sarasota)

The LARGEST turnout ever 111 entries! The Super Cup (SC) race at Hurricane RC was raced out so some of the SC racers stay around to race at FZ

Losi XXX-SCT

Tested the XXX-SCT on the NEW track design, as I knew how it ran on the old design. By lap three had a handle on the new design.

AE SC10

New parts for the steering came in on Fri, rebuilt the steering and added in line hubs and axles to see how they work.

After 5 laps of practice I put the XXX-SCT away, changed rear tires on the SC10 and out to qual 1 I went! Finished 8 of 8! :-( Changed rear tires again and BINGO finished 4th in 2nd qual, that put me in 11th of 20.

5 minute B-main by turn 4 I was in 2nd and finished in that position for a bump up to the A-main! :-)

By turn 3 of the first lap of the A-main I was in 3rd by the timing line I was 4th, stayed in that position for most of the race. I thought 2nd was about to pass me so I moved over, it WAS the 5th place racer!!!! As I moved over a half lap later for 2nd, 6th got by me!!!

Still to be ONLY 2 laps down from 1st and 2nd who normally lap me 3 or 4 times means the SC10 was HOOKED UP!!!
