Mann's RC (Ruskin, FL)
Started out good turned BAD, then turned good!!!!!!

XXX-S
Tested XXX-S #2 as a spek class car. Trying to get speed without a lot of heat in motor had a 33 tooth pinion to start. 35 more speed no motor temps above 110, 37 and more speed and motor temps 105!!! Then seen the drive belt rubbing. Parked to XXX-S #2.
Qual'd 3rd with a set of BSR Blues. Changed to Sweep 36 for the main as the Blues just were NOT working well.
Da' main, was 3rd about mid way in the main, hit the wall at the same place as last week, rolled backwards about 4 feet, spooled the belt off again!!!!!!!

GT2
Qual'd 2nd. Ran about 5 - 6 laps during warm up for the main, lined up as the last racer got on to the track, race director instructed us to make a warm up lap. Lined up, GO at the tone. Tone, pulled trigger and flamed out!!!!!!!!! Was able to get back to the pit, start the GT2 and get two laps in before the main ended for a 5th finish.

Now the REAL GOOD!!!! :-)
Traded the 12l pan cars for a AE TC4, the XXX-S is retired!!!!!!!!!
