Thanks to everyone that joined us for some Tuesday racing!!!
Had an awesome time racing too! that 10min Stock A main was INTENSE!!! Lots of lead changes
Glad to see a good turnout for the 1st race of 2013 at Jakes RC 50+ entries
If you feel that there is unfair racing please inform the announcer as it happens. I do not see everything that goes on.
I wont have any time until Saturday. If the Tattoo Shop is open the track is open, Just put a light coat of water down and it will be good for a couple hrs

The funny thing is....if someone was all p!ssed off and TRIED to run up the berm at full throttle and explode their car, it would NEVER happen. I know it sucked for you, but that was an incredible explosion of plastic! Exciting for sure!

Yesterday was odd, I saw lots of broken cars as the day went on. Barney's was the most spectacular for sure, but saw a lot of broken arms, hubs, etc. I broke more stuff yesterday than I have in a long time, luckily I had Aflac there for parts support (order is in process to get you restocked 
)
For me it seemed that my car was being launched in several different ways off the triple, and especially the double table.. Maybe a rework of those two faces are in order? Anybody else seem to have issues with those two areas?

Didn't have any issues with the triple, but the single in front of the table is a bit awkward. My buggy seemed to do something different each time, and it especially bad if you're hugging the tube coming off the triple.
Wish I could have stayed for the mains, but with the late start and the breaks between rounds, it just ran longer than I could stay, but was still great fun all day.

Granted I wasn't hitting the face of those jumps in the preferred line each and every time (I'm no Dustin Thomson 
) Just seemed I didn't have to be far off the good line for my car to launch strangely

News of the exploding C car made it all the way to letko. That sucks Barney.

I think some of the broken parts were at least partially caused by colder than normal temps. Plastics can get a little brittle this time of year.
I think John Cushing and I plan on doing some work on the track Saturday morning before the races, too.

I think the cold temps kinda hurt the track some... and the jumps aren't as forgiving as they were in the past... the RB6 just soaked up the track and kept going...

RB6 now Dustin?
