Is that the same with a national event or do you have to finish good enough in a regional to qualify for a national race.

New track layout was pretty decent, will be better next week for sure. See everyone in a couple of weeks.

Track was alot more technical than I imagined! Made for some fun racing. It will be faster next week once we get more water in the dirt and I'll touch up some areas. Thanks to everyone who came out to race!!

Got a new 50" screen hung in the pits now so its easy to keep updated on the races!!

I'm really having a hell of a time with the B5M, I like the way it drives, it's not the car I just need to get A LOT more practice......... Man Dylan drove my SC10 a lot better than I have, I found out my set up works, it just needs a good driver! LOL Thanx Alexx Jake, and Dustin for giving us a place to race, along with all the volunteer help on track work!

My B5m seems to handle good being pushed hard. And Dylan is pretty fast in the Mod corr class

My problem is Im getting out of the groove, I'm sliding past my corners and getting the marbles, lots of practice will help. Maybe then I can drive it hard and push it more. Right now I'm not breaking anything, and trying to respect the faster cars, Also Dylan run mod corr with a Trinity spec 17.5 and Speed Passion Club race 40 amp speed control. Very smooth and so far very reliable. Geared it right and it's pretty solid. These speed controls are what I have left from dirt oval racing in a couple of spec classes, going to try to use them up before I buy any more. As far as they run, I will see about hitting RC Rickie up for some better ones after these go.

Thanks to the folks that worked hard on the new track configuration. It looked very challenging and my son had a lot of fun.

CU next week.

[QUOTE=maurorace74;13632476]Thanks to the folks that worked hard on the new track configuration.

Yepper track was pretty fun ... and rather tricky and technical ... kudos to XXX and Mark E Mark and volunteer crew.

I was ok then just kind of blew a fuse .. don't really know why just did.
I apologize if I offended anybody. Sorry

Thanx

Thats the plan, along with a 44.3 most likely. Just wanting to get back to a U.S. based manufacturer thats found everywhere that I would be racing at, and also backed by the more popular aftermarket companies.
