This time it was Saturday 10/1/16, and SDRC's 1st ever "Racer Appreciation Day" race (RAD). Race entry was free for today! But limited to 2 classes. A 3rd class would cost you $500! Lol!
I signed up to race Expert Stock Buggy and 13.5 Buggy. I would race my 3.0 with a "dirt" laydown gearbox in stock, and my B5m with a 17.5 in the 13.5 class. I wanted to compare lap times and race results between the 2 cars, while both had a 17.5 motor installed.
I didn't have the cleanest run :(. But I turned a 17.9 at least? But I wasn't in the main just yet. I figured I would need to turn at least a 17:15 to make the main and not get bumped out.
Holy crap! I did it! I turned my 1st 17 lap qualifying run! And I turned a 17:15 which put me 6th in the main! Woohoo! After the 4th heat, I dropped to 7th, but at least I was in :)
My nerves got me in the main :( I over jumped the 1st double in the quad section, so I rolled the second double, and the cars behind me jumped over me. I did it again on the next lap and dropped to last. Oh well? I made the main at least? I would end up finishing 8th. At least I wasn't last.
No drama in 13.5 buggy. I basically finished in 2nd every race. And I had slower runs and fast laps than my 3.0! I guess a laydown gearbox car is faster?
