SS Hobbies and Raceway (Tampa, FL)

Saturday night under da' lights!!!

Steve did a nice layout on the track, lot of FAST area's and a lot of slow area's very balanced.

SC10

Same everything as Yupers last week, except the front top shock mounts, moved them out to hole #2.

TQ'd for the main, lost my mind at the tone and spun the SC10 going into the first turn. Had a 3 foot lead going into the turn, braked to much!!!! Came out in last!!! By lap four I was 20 foot behind 1st, lap 6 I was on him. Touched a pipe and it took three more laps to be on his tail again. As we lapped the 6th place racer, 1st got by him, I was pushed into a pipe!!! Finished 10 foot behind 1st!!!

T4

TQ'd first qual, so I thought race the GT2-E in the 2nd qual, tq'd that qual also.

Looked at the rear tires on the GT2-E after the 2nd qual, this is the 2nd race for these tires. They are GONE!!!! This is NOT a good thing at $20 a set, gone in 12 minutes!!!

After the problem with the SC10 at the tone I was a bit to careful and Kenny got by me as we went into turn two. Took my time making up the 10 foot lead he had on me. As we come up to 3rd place, I started to make my move, took one more lap to cleanly get by Kenny. Two turns later Kenny piped his truck and I was driving away. Lapped Kenny with two laps to go.
