HMIRCR (Sarasota)
Losi XXX-SCT
Test, TEST and TEST!! Trying to get the XXX-SCT race ready with a Speed Passion GT1.1 and Speed Passion 10.5 Sportsman motor. NO speed and a LOT of push in the corners, changed the spur from a 87 to a 81 hoping the speed would show up. Helped but just not right yet!

AE SC10
Started the first qual in first, as I came to the timing loop/start line the last starter had not been call to start!!! Was I that fast?????? Slowed down to NOT cross the loop/line before him and as we crossed a lap later he had the fastest lap and I took the teeth of the idler gear in the trans!!!!
===
Had time to move the transponder and battery from the SC10 to the XXX-SCT to finish the first qual with 45 sec to go!!!!
2nd qual, changed the pinion gear from a 18 to a 19 MUCH better speed and less push!
The race director choose to run the track in reverse. As I came up to the wall turn I was rear ended by another racer which cause the XXX-SCT to slide side ways into the track barrier. This caused the rear axle to come in contact with the barrier and remove the left rear a-arm. The racer gave me a new a-arm.
Main
Changed the 19 to a 20 pinion WAY better!!!! BUT >>> I finished 5th in the main, my WORSE finish at HMIRCR. :-(
