Hey, just got back from racing. It was a blast.
1st qual- popped off both front turnbuckles on one side (steering and camber) so that slowed me down quite a bit. Oh yeah. ended up losing my dogbone.
2nd qual- During warm-ups I stripped 1st gear, so for the first 20 seconds of the race I was out adjusting my shift point to that it was stuck in second. Went back out, and during the last minute I hit the wall and the engine died. Fired it back up only to discover that the engine was overheated from being in 2nd the whole time. Richened 1/6 of a turn before I went back out and everything was alright.
3rd qual-I don't remember.....
B-Main- Started off good, last 3 mins I LOST a turnbuckle, dogbone and popped off another turnbuckle. Stole another dogbone from Earl(RCDad), and snagged another turnbuckle from my box. Got one more lap in before we finished.
Overall, I ended up placing 3rd in the B-main, very happy for the first time I raced.
Hope to see everyone in 2 weeks. =)
