SS Hobbies and Raceway (Tampa, FL)
Race 9 of 10 series.
===
B4.1 +8
Was hoping to move into 1st, Matt wasn't there and ALL I needed to do is finish in front of Leo, we are tied for 2nd. One motor wire came loose and by the time it was pluged back in Leo got by me. Was able to get back on the same lap BUT ran out of time to catch and pass him. So he should have the lead by two points!!!!

Sc10GT-E
Was on the track by 9:20 (track opens at 10:00)
.
This RC was just sweet on TEST tires >> JC Goosebumps f/r!!! At
the start of lap two, was able to pull full throttle, making the front
doubles into singles EASILY!!! Changed to Proline Slicer (M3) on the front and Calibers (M3) on the rear.TQ'd the first qual, was out TQ'd in the 2nd qual of round one. Started in 4th just behind the guy in 2nd in the series.
5th rear ended me in turn one, came out in 9th, he went over the outer pipe!! Drove my tail off to catch the guy in second, 1st had already passed me. 2nd was a 1/3 of a lap in front of me at minute 6 of 8. In three laps was on him, singled the front doubles and he touched a pipe was I went by in the air!! Drove away with a smile on my face, NOT because he crashed BUT because this RC can be pushed and pushed hard!!! This was better the the SC10 ever was!!!! Should have 12 point lead!
Thinking about taking the AE esc and Reedy 3300 motor out and put the X-Car esc and Speed Passion 10.5 motor in for next weeks finial race!!!

RC10GT2-E
Qual'd in 2nd, the racer in 1st in the series was starting in 5th. Went nose to nose with 1st for 4 laps then landed wrong and 3rd got by about 2 minutes in to the 8 minute main. Was able to keep 3rd to the finish of the race. Should either be in the lead OR tied for 1st in the series.
