Quaker Steak and Lube (Clearwater, FL)
Had planned to race in Touring, VTA and Rally but first got to meet "Kmicheal" from R/C Tech forum. The thing is we have known each other for years, I just didn't know Mike was Kmicheal!!!!

TC4
Couple days ago did a setup sheet from the settings in the manual. The two bits that were different from the settings that I had been using was two .030 washers in the inner link ballstuds front and rear.
Today's quals and main provide that, this is a BAD setup bit!!
Qual'd 7th finished 5th.

XXX-S
Kmicheal had a set of VTA tires for me when I got to the "Lube", so I'm race ready for the next few months.
Tried "Saucing" these tires before the first qual, not so good took half the race for them to hook up like the did during practice. The XXX-S had no rear traction. Sauced the rear tires only for the 2nd qual, took half the race before they would hook up. Didn't sauce them for the mains, took 4 laps to warm them up, then go at the tone.
Qual'd 5th finished 4th.

GT
Watched two SC doing some practice laps before setting the GT on the track. Took two laps to get the foam tires up to temp, then blew by them down the back straight just to let them know "Rally" class is MINE!!!!!!
TQ'd both qual's and NEVER drove hard after turn two for the win!!!

Next race at the "Lube" is next year 1/10/15
