7/7/2013 SS Hobbies & Raceway (Tampa,FL.)

 GT2-SC

Ran a FULL tank thought during practice, Sure was SWEEEEET to hear the PICCO .12 running full tilt!!!Then I seen the the other racers in Mod SC! Put the GT2-SC back in the trunk! :-)

SC10

After 10 minutes of practice, decided that a tire change was needed. Moved the new-ish Proline M3 Calibers  from the rear to the front and put a set of JConcepts Green Subcultures on the rear. These were better at parts of the track and worse at others than the Calibers. So out came the Simple Green bottle, Gave the front and rear tires a coat than after they dried another coat. That fixed it! TQ'd the 2nd qual by a 1/2 sec. Didn't have time to enjoy the TQ, was they were calling the ST class to the line for their 2nd qual.

GT2-E

Had planed to race the GT2-E in ST class then Andy put his T4.2 on the track!!!! Andy is one of the racers from Farmers that I have NEVER beat!!!! Out came the T4!!!!

T4

Put the tires from the GT2-E on the T4, they were the newest that I have. Andy put it to me in both qual!! So I'm starting in 2nd.

Then the RAIN came!!!! :-)

Why am I  >> :-)  Cause the RAIN will put TRACTION in the track!!

Mains

SC10

The racer in 2nd, as we were waiting for "Da Tone" said he would hold the pack back until I got through the first turn. He sure did, by the time I crossed the timing line I had a 1/2 lap lead on 2nd at the four minute mark I was 2nd, by the 5 minute mark I was 1st and 2nd NEVER got close!!!

T4

As we lined up Andy stepped aside and let his son race his T4.2. Was the WRONG thing to do for the first five minutes of the main. He over powered the track as he came across the timing line as we started the main and nosed into the pipe and I WAS GONE!!!! At the two minutes to go call, I told him he had two minutes to catch me he did in ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Made a crazed shot at the line to beat him and ended up off the track BUT did closed the gap to .4 sec!!

Next week 7/13/13 Big Ele only race at SS, I'm thinking I'm READY to WIN!!!!!!!
