I ran E-Buggy, and Nitro Buggy, However we had some mishaps and I was unable to fully run it. Thanks to Chad for the loaner Buggy!
I left work Friday afternoon and got to the track around 6PM, It started down pouring on my way to the track, and I thought it was going to follow me. While driving it rained so bad that I had to pull over to the side of the road because I couldn’t see. When I arrived at the Track it had just started sprinkling so I would get my Shocks built, and my Pit area ready!
Practice went great on Friday night, I didn’t change much from my setups, just figured what tires and compounds I needed to run.
I started the night on M3 Blockades, then M3 Suppressors, swapped over to M4 Hole Shot 2.0s later in the night. During practice I was also able to test out the Pro-Line Racing Trifecta Lexan Wing for 1:8 Buggies/Truggies. I really like this wing over a molded wing.
We were all having fun and a lot of people didn’t get to bed ’til late, and I was awoken bright and early at 8 am ( thanks Bostick…) after going to bed around 2AM.
Starting Qualifying I figured I wanted to stay on a “safe” feeling Tire, so I stuck to M3 Blockades.
Q1 : The start to this qual was perfect, I started mid pack and my first 3 laps put me on a 12 lap pace, of which would have qualified me into the A. However as soon as I heard my named being called a few times, I started to loose it and couldnt save it after a bad wreck.
Q2 : Qual started off good, Felt great throughout the qualifier, however about 2 minutes in my ESC Decided it was time to shut up.
Q3 : I Wasnt able to get a clean run in. Every corner it seemed as if I ran into some traffic that didnt want to work with me.
After some bad qualifying, I was hoping to see if I could bump.
Starting 6th In The C… we should see.
C-Main : Starting 6th on the grid, I would instantly jump up to 2nd place, and hold position for a minute, however we came upon lap traffic and was not able to fight it off as well as I wanted, a few bad crashes following had dropped me back to last with no hope of returning for a bump.
I wish I could have done better, but I had fun and enjoyed both days of Racing!
