XXX-SCT
Planned to race the Losi XXX-SCT, during practice it just wasn't running like it should. Don't know if it's the ESC or the Motor. Hope to have the Reedy Neo1 in house in time for the next race. Plan to use the Speed Passion GT1.1 esc with that motor.

SC10
Got the backup out >>>> SC10 that is setup for carpet!
During the 1st qual as I passed Bill for 1st we touched (I got to close and touched him) which put me into the wall, this broke the T-bar that holds the rear suspension together. Then during the 2nd qual I broke the right front C-hub!!! Still finished well enough to start 2nd in the main.
Was a half sec behind Bill at lap 2, as we came up to the last turn before the timing loop (TL), Bill nosed into a pipe, this let be by! Between lap 3 and lap 5 I was able to put 8 sec between us. Lapped everyone but 2nd and 3rd, was at 3rd (Mike) rear bumper 3 turns from the TL and just followed him across the finish line.
==========
On any given day at a track, Bill, Mike and I can beat each other. We are very equal to each other. This makes for some GREAT racing!!! :-)

Jim asked me if I would like to learn to run the race program at HWIRCR. So he would be able to race the "Force Series". The main race director will be there, I will just run a race per qual and main. Last time I had a mic in my hands I was preaching!!!!
