West Coast RC Supercross, Round 4- Finals, *LIVE FROM THE TRACK!*

*LIVE FROM THE TRACK!*
-Not as many people here as last Sunday. I was even able to park close!
-Tried driving from the end of the stand farthest from the ramp. Felt too wierd, so I moved back to my normal spot for the 2nd run with my T4.
-Ha! 1/8 controlled practice is running right now and there's only 1 car on the track. What a waste.
-Motor temps are good so far on both the T4 and SC10.
-Finished 3rd run on T4. Felt ok. Motor temp was 163F.
-Nice somebody remembered to water the track this time, so it won't turn into a dust bowl again.
-Missed SC practice session, because I thought only 4wd SC as up, not all SC trucks. At least I already put in 4 runs with my T4 :)
-WTF?! It just got really cold in here all of a sudden...
-Hungry now. Waiting for the free food or lunch truck.
-Got 2 free hot dogs and somes fries from the lunch truck.
-Controlled practice is over for me. I think I'll gear down 1 tooth in each truck for racing since both felt soft on acceleration.
-Thinking of trying 20deg timing again, with P6 on the SPX, just to see if that will cool the motor down. Not today though, next race...
-Wooohoo! Only 15 heats today, so I should be home around midnight, hopefully.
-Just finished 6th in Stock Truck with a 10:05. Lots of fast guys tonight. Motor temped at 173.5F. Going to gear down to a 25.
-Broke a front arm on the SC10 for round 1 of Mod SC. Yay! Fun!
-Broke on 1st lap while in 2nd place in Round 2 of Stock Truck, and just finished 5th in Mod SC after battling with Jeff Kulp. Qualified 8th in both classes. At least I made the A for Mod SC, as Stock Truck only has 1 heat tonite.
-Lost a titanium ball stud out on the track when my T4 broke :( No spare 30deg caster blocks in my pit box or the shop, so I guess I'm switching to 25deg.. Maybe I'll go faster?
-Bill Koch (the truck I hit when I broke because he was parked on the straight) was able to find a 30deg caster block, so I could fix my truck for the main. Thanx Bill!
-Finished 7th in Stock Truck and 4th in Mod SC. Watching big air contest and waiting to see where I will finish in the points....
-Back home now. Ended up 4th in the points for Stock Truck and have no idea how I did in Mod SC... boo!
-Points have been posted. Lost 3rd in Stock Truck by 1pt! :( Finished 9th in Mod SC while only running 2 races...
