SS Hobbies and Raceway (Tampa, FL)
SC10GT
Wanted to race at least one qual with this nitro FUN sc!!! Would not start!!!! :-(

B4.1
Didn't like the way the B4.1 powered out of a corner and didn't have much top end, thought it could be the battery. Raced it last week at FZ and didn't charge it. Fresh battery and NOT much diff!!! Thought about a gearing change BUT wasn't sure about motor temps!!! Did about ten laps, temp was 112 degrees, out came the GEARS!!!!!!!!
Changed from 81/21 to 78/21, not much of a change just wanted to go one step at a time. Put the motor right in the middle of it's power. TQ the class, traction rolled* the first turn on the main and played catch-up from that point for a 5th.
*sugared the track before the start of the days racing, watered before each round of qual's then treated the track with cola for the mains. Cola makes for a completely diff traction than sugar!!! Was pulling wheelies on the straights!!

SC10
Liked the way JC Double Dee's (Gold) on the front worked at FZ, thought I would try them at SS. To much steering until a set of JC Double Dee's (Blue) went on the rear. TQ'd that class also, had a bit of a tussle with the racer who finished 3rd for a lap and a half until he flipped over on a jump. And I was gone looking for Matt in 1st, never got even close to him!!!!!

GT2-E
3-pete or triple, what ever it's called TQ'd this class also!!! :-)
Had a little tussle with Leo for two turns and he touched a pipe just enough for me to get a 30 foot lead on the first lap. He stayed a straight away behind me for almost half the race waiting for me to screw up. Then the pipes started to get in Leo's way!!! :-(

SS started a 10 race 2 drop series, a race ago, so I'm waiting for a standing list to be posted to see how much I will need to push in each class to finish in the top three.
