Sunday, 6/7/15, MotorHead RC, Stock Buggy

We headed up to Motorhead again to checkout the new layout. It has a weird step up in the back right hand corner and some whoops in a short chute. The hardest part of the track is the corner step up and following rythm section.

I raced stock buggy this visit.  I qualified 2nd and finished 3rd. 




Saturday 6/6/15, SDRC

Stock Buggy

I qualified 7th and finished 5th, as everyone went faster in the second round and I didn't. 





13.5 Truck

There was an issue with the timing loop on the start. Which caused the race order to get confused. While trying to figure out what happened, I crashed and gave up the lead.  I qualified 2nd and finished 2nd. 







Friday 6/5/15, Stock Buggy, SDRC

I forget what happened as this was 2 weekends ago and raced 3 days in a row the last 2 weekends. But, I think my rear tires (Electrons) were starting to get loose, since this past weekend I've switched back to Dirt Webs. I qualified 2nd and finished 5th :-/

Busy Saturday racing

I decided to race stock buggy and 13.5 Truck to get ready for the upcoming summer series in a few weeks. But with only 6 heats of racing, I had zero down time between races!  This made for a busy race schedule!

There were also 2 guys that had come down from Sacremento to check out the racing in SoCal. They were racing in stock buggy also.  Both of them out qualified me (2nd and 4th, I was back in 6th) as I crashed too many times in qualifying and got novice marshaled on a few crashes.

I got a good start from 6th, not getting tangled in the opening laps. I then took advantage of a pile up far from any marshals and moved up from 5th to 2nd! I tried I chase down the leader (a Sac town guy), but he had a decent lead and wasn't making many mistakes. I would finish in 2nd, between the 2 out of towners. 




For truck I ended up in mod as nobody signed up for 13.5 truck. It was no matter as I would qualify 2nd with my Blinky mode truck. I lucked out in the main though, as the leader checked out, but crashed miles away from any marshals, sitting upside down for almost a full lap!  I passed him as he got going again and cruised in for the win :)
