Mann's RC (Ruskin, FL)
GT2
Test day at Mann's!!!! They have a "Jato" class, put the nitro bits back on as the Jato's there are nitro. Rubber tires, bald off road tires, not so good. Got a set of foam tires out then remembered that I had changed to hex rim mounts! All of the foam tires are bearing or pin mount! Will need to install some internal shock travel limiters. As that is done change to 50wt oil in the shocks.

GT-E
Leo was at Mann's, his first racing at Mann's :-)
He drove the GT-E after the main, he wants me to make his Losi 22T handle as nice as the GT-E. Told him he needed a RC10GT to start with!

Losi XXX-S
Shark and I raced nose to nose in the 2nd qual, he finished in front of me by two feet!!!! As we left the drivers stand he said that he thought I had him at times.
Started 3rd, was 2nd as we crossed under the lining loop, as we entered turn one three cars hit me in the rear which spun me around and was 8th coming out of turn one. As we entered turn two found out that there was damage to the XXX-S. Would not turn right, ran straight across the track jumped the divider into the pack of cars!!!!!!
Went to my car and did a quick-ish repair and drove from the pit area. Was able to catch and pass 8th for a 7th place finish!
