January Jam 2017 is in the book’s and it was a very nice ride for Team Acosta. The track was COLD COLD COLD but was very challenging and fun.
Taking the Win and the TQ in the 1:10 4WD Mod class running the XB4 2016 powered by Dualsky and Highest Servo with Pro-line Microns MC kept the car stuck.
In Nitro Buggy landed a 7th spot in the A-Main and was able to better his finish with a 5th overall and a podium spot running the XB8 2016 powered by OS, Highest servo’s and the Pro-Line Blockades M4 was the ticket to keeping it hooked up.
The E Buggy we struggled all day trying to find setup and when we did the power seem to come up short starting 1st in the B-Main and just didn’t have enough power to get away. Time to figure out a new motor and batteries ours appear to be getting weak. The BIG WIN for the weekend was Christopher learning and discovering new things about racing and how to find speed. Looking forward to him becoming more hands on with his cars, it will only make this team of ours even better.
MUCH thanks to the FRC crew for all their hard work and for Matt Turner for RD’ing a great race. With the roads icing up and the temps dropping down to the teens this past weekend it was just a challenge to get to and from the track but it just added to the adventure.
Thanks so much for all our awesome sponsors who believe in what Christopher is doing.
