SS Hobbies and Raceway (Tampa, FL)
Planned to race the T4 and GT2-SC today, did bring the SC10 just in case.
T4
Between the 1st and 2nd qual's checked to see if the sensor side bearing was ok, oiled it a couple weeks ago and the noise was back. It was bad, as I was checking to see if I had one. Found that the wheel bearing for a AE RC was the same size!!!
I didn't think that the bearing change would make a BIG diff until I did a hot lap before the 2nd qual. There is a triple jump that I had been doing a single - single on, as I power down the lane I just didn't back off, landed at the base of the third jump! SWEEEEET!!!
Go at the tone, over the triple for the 2nd lap and both rear tire came off the rims and the T4 landed 10 feet past the third jump!!!!!!!! Guess I need to turn the radio down!
Lap 3 as I went to pass a back marker hit a pipe and removed the right rear a-arm!! I'm done, for a 5th.

GT2-SC
Lets just get to the fun!!! POWER Wheelies the 2nd half of the front straight!!! The WOWS!! were great to hear!! The GT2-SC jumped, turned and powered out of the turns just SWEEEEET!!
Da' Main!! Got ran over in turn one! Was about 20 foot behind 1st by lap three, got that down to 5 by lap 6. Then a MIP cvd pin left the known universe from the right axle!!! Finished 6th.
