VRC Pro Off-Road

I am addicted to uploading times to events and beating my friends or staying at a certain level! It started when I was able to put in a fast time, and was 4th overall, with about 100 racers competing. Since then the field has grown to almost 300, and I've dropped to 17th overall. Now I keep trying to put in a faster run, but so far the best I've been able to do is a 16:00.

I will need to get back to work on my real cars though, as the SSC is coming up soon....

Reboot needed

Got smoked in Buggy last night.  Me thinks I need some new tires, as I've been hanging on running some old V2 Barcodes from last year.  Also, my experiment with the 12.3 rotors doesn't seem to be working out.  Going back to my 12.5's and trying again next weekend....

Sweet!

So tonight wasn't a total waste.  I capitalized on a mistake on the 1st lap by the TQ and managed to keep him behind me for the win :)  I may switch to a v1.1 (black) motor for next week with a 12.3 mm rotor to compare to the 12.5 mm rotor I have been running.

Damm practice pros!

My last practice run was a waste of electrons as all the pp's came out to run during last session, so I spent all my laps avoiding wrecks or getting hit :(

Lonely Boy- No More

I decided to come out and only race stock truck tonight (so far alone) as I had such a bad run in the JBRL main last weekend. This time I have an older motor in my truck that turns more rpm and balloons my rear tires nicely. Is this faster? It was at last years Surf City Classic when I placed 2nd! Here? We shall see.... I also mounted up some new gold barcodes with fresh foam to break in for this years SSC, as the closed cell foam in my other set of tires has gone flat :(. There is a big air gap between the tire and foam, which I don't like.

Eric decided to come out and run, so now I have someone to chat with....
