SS Hobbies and Raceway (Tampa, FL)
Track was NOT ready to race, lot of loose gaff !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
===
GT2-E
Hoped to race ST class today. I'm the only ST there. :-(
===
GT2SC
New metal diff gear, CORRECT slipper setting made for one SWEEEET NITRO SC!!!
Updated the slipper from V1 to V2 last October (2012) but didn't change the slipper setting. Had the setting 2 and a half turns to tight!!!!!!!!! This one small bit may be the reason I was killing the idler gear(s).
Race the GT2SC in the 2nd qual was only 14 sec slower than the 1st qual with the SC10 for 16 laps!!

SC10
First race with the new 120 amp Hobbywing esc worked on getting the throttle settings on the radio. This esc is a very smooth, no jerky throttle!!
This is the 2nd track with the alm steering linkage, steering is so much better for the SC10, can round corners within a couple inches of the pipes.
TQ'd the 1st qual, got beat in the 3rd qual.
8 MINUTE MAIN!!!! This is going to be SWEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just as we were getting go at the tone in 5, I told Steven that this is RACING not qualifying!!!
Eased into the throttle at the tone and was in first before the first turn and was driving away for two laps, then missed landing a jump and Steve was on me. We rubbed finders for three laps, then I missed landed another jump and Steve was in the lead and I never got close again!!!

One of the reason I was at SS on a Sat night, I seen that Steve had been there two weeks earlier. Steve is a Team Holy Rollers member that I had lost contact with after Lil' Dover closed.
