Dean's Discount Hobby and Race Complex (New Port Richey, FL)
===
New track, visited a few weeks ago when I was working in the area (it's over 80 miles one way).
Reminds me of Farmers Hobby and Raceway, corner table top and step downs << SWEEEET!!
Normal clay (not treated with sugar or Calcium) just water, takes 1 and a half qual to bring the track surface up to race speed.

RC10GT2
As the track races ele and nitro classes, the GT2 was loaded for the trip.
Ran fine during practice, won't start for the first qual!!! Told race director to start with out me and as they got two laps in it started!!!!!! 2nd qual had all four front bulkhead screws come out!!!!!
The main, was ahead of 3rd by two laps when I touched a pipe to break the left rear shock, only 20 foot from my pit. Repaired the shock and was back at it with a minute to go. Got within one lap of passing 2nd for a 3rd place finish!!

SC10GT-E
Hole Shots (M3) on the rear was just NOT hooking up!!! HS's are the base tire everywhere!!!!!! By the mains the HS's were working well!!! Qual'd 3rd finished 2nd.

Forgot how long a day off road racing is with a 80-90 minute drive each way is!!!
BUT the FUN level was at 100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
