FZRC (Sarasota)
Tropical storm Beryl tried to STOP the racn' and LOST!!!!! :-)
Signed up for Mod SC, planned to race the Losi XXX-SCT with a LRP 7.5 motor!
This thing just would NOT turn like it did a couple months ago!!!
Still tried to race it, in the first qual of STOCK SHORT COURSE!!!!!!!! There wasn't enough of either (stock or mod) for a class for both so!
The 2nd qual I had the SC10 out with a Speed Passion 17.5 motor in it. Had no bottom coming out of a corner, still qual'd 4th for the a-main. Removed the SP motor and put in a Trinity 17.5 WAY BETTER. But at the 4 minute mark lost what seemed to be about 50%of the power. Still finished 4th! :-)
Checked motor temp after the race 143 degrees, which is a GREAT temp!!!!
Will have a look, tomorrow to see if I can find the problem!

Decided that I don't have to be nice, unless I'm told by the race director that a leader is coming up to pass me. 1st, 2nd and 3rd had to drive around me, Bruce had the most problem because he thought I would move over. I did NOT, took him a lap and a half to get the job done cause I touched a pipe. His fight to get around me was the talk of the track for a couple minutes as they didn't know I could drive that fast!!!!
