SS Hobbies (Tampa, FL)
Rob's car caught fire at work, seat (pass side) shorted out. So, we were about an hour late getting to track. Picked up rental car first.
===
Little side bit, getting house cleaned up (remove 18 years of junk) so we can move to TN is taking longer than we thought, so my mind isn't FULLY on racing!!!
===
GT2-E
Never made it to half way in first qual, and was done in ST class for the day.
Nosed a jump, moved the motor AND removed the servo mounts from the servo. Didn't have a backup servo.
===
SC5M
Qual'd 2nd in first heat, was 3rd after second heat. 2nd round of qual's, my first round was good enough to hold on to 3rd.
Go at the tone and first turn 2nd slowed more than I though he would and NASCARED him, slowed to let him back into 2nd and 3 racers hit him. Screwed 3 jumps (Same jump. 3 laps in a row) finished 7th.
===
The BEST part of the day, after signing up while walking back to the pit, seen Jeff and his son Corey (both Team Holly Rollers members, like I am) We haven't seen each other in almost 2 years! Corey is almost 2 feet taller!!!!!

SC5M
First race at SS since we decided to move to TN. My mind is on all the bits, to do this move.
Mike, was in the class again, so I knew, it would be a FULL every lap race.
Mike TQ'd and just drove away for the win!!!!
Side bit, Mike and I first met last Feb. We have became friends over the past few months.
Quals are fun and friendly, with the mains >> we race each other cleanly!!!

Mann's RC (Ruskin, FL)
On Road / Oval Day!!
===
SC10GT-E
Decided to build a Oval SC!! Put the AE 3300 system in out of a T4 RTR.
B3 rear buggy wheels on the front and T4 rear wheels on the rear.
Wasn't the fastest SC BUT was the best at the turns!!!!!
TQ'd both qual's and won the main.
===
Spec-R S2
Planed to race Supertruck (Oval) BUT they put us with 13.5 TC's (On Road)!!
Made body change from Supertruck to TC.
Changed left front spring from Blue to Gold. Normally, would change right front from Gold to Blue. It's a oval thing, stronger spring on right front shock.
The Spec-R S2 has always had a twitchy run on a straight, NOT now!!!! YEA!!! Gold springs!!!
TQ'd both qual's and won the main!!
