Mann's RC (Ruskin, FL)

Good day, a bit cool (shirt and hoodie) warmed up to t-shirt weather.

GT-E

I just can't get a handle on, on road oval. Trying to many bits to get the GT-E to handle finished 5th.

Mike came to me and asked what I did to the GT-E cause during the first qual I was better than the other 4 racers!!! Told him I put the oval setup on it, had the on road set up for the first qual. He asked "What was you thinking?" put the on road back on!!!

TC4

Was the only Mod to sign up, so they put me in Spec 13.5 class.

TQ'd the class was leading by almost a lap at the seven minute mark, then Luis got in gear and next to the last lap passed me!!! In one minute he made up a lap on me!!!

XXX-S

First VTA race wth a 25.5 motor, got it on ebay for less than 50 shipped. OH, it's a Speed Passion V3 25.5.

Mike (same Mike in GT-E report) TQ'd, I started in 2nd. The odd start placement at Mann's is 1st starts on the outside of turn one instead of on the inside. IF 2nd can get the jump at the start 1st is on the outside AND will be in place to have the rest of the racers run into them. :-)

Was into and out of turn one as Mike was trying to get free from the pack. 2nd (Brad) never came close after three laps.
