The Thunder Alley’s Super 7 Series wrapped up on October 15th with the seventh and final race. I am very pleased with the results, as I was able to win the series with my HB D815-E and a respectable 2nd overall finish in 4WD SCT.
I had already used my two drops so the final race was ultimately a make or break race for the entire series. Due to a volunteering commitment, I arrived late and missed the first heat. To compound arriving late and not logging any practice laps, I was greeted with a new layout as well. I felt I was in survival mode as I attempted to quickly learn the new layout, I was able to qualify 3rd overall, which was a surprise since I only had two heats to sort things out. 
In the Main, I got away cleanly and was able to stay ahead of the pack allowing me to cruise to a second place finish. The points secured by that finish locked up the overall win for the series. I felt my converted HB D815 V2 Buggy excelled on the rough, loose conditions at Thunder Alley. The more track time I log with my buggy the more impressed I am with it. The Buggy is very smooth, and consistent.
I collected a little more hardware with my 4WD SCT, taking second overall for the series.
Thunder Alley will be hosting their Halloween Dash for Cash in a few weeks. Due to some over watering my buggy was caked in mud after the final heat so I will be doing a complete rebuild. I also plan to test out a couple set up adjustments based off Ty’s IMFAR World set up sheet.
I am looking forward to the release of the D817 and future races with my HB kits.
