SS Hobby and Raceway (Tampa, FL)
First racer there!!! :-) Hoped that was a GOOD thing!!!!
===
Because the mains were rained out last Sunday, had a FREE race (one class) do me!
SC class,
SC10GT
Every time this starts up, I get memorizes of the GOOD Old Days of Gas Truck racing!!
1st qual, was in 1st until I was 3 turns from the timing line. Missed landing a jump and Mike got by!!!
SC10
2nd qual, drove my tail off for a 4th!!!!
SC Main
Was in 2nd after going over the table top, then started missing jumps!! Was able to get within five foot of Mike before the end for a 4th.

Stadium Truck class,
Put the Speed Passion GT2 LPF esc and LRP X11 7.5 motor in the T4 for today. Qual'd in 2nd, keep that at the tone for about a lap and a half then Kenny got by as I missed another jump. As I was catching Kenny, Alan broke, so I was in 2nd, now to pass Kenny!!!
Took two more minutes to get by Kenny, couldn't just bully him out of the way, he is the younger son of the TRACK OWNER!!! Just stayed about a foot behind him for two/three laps. Then he nosed a pipe and I was gone!!!!!
