40+ Buggy, SDRC 11/19/16

Most of the guys showed up Saturday and we all agreed to run 40+ buggy :).  The class ended up with a full heat of 10 cars!  That's a lot of old guys racing!  Lol!

I won both qualifiers and secured the TQ position for the main. I would lead most of the race, but a lapped car hit me with about 4 laps to go and I lost the lead. A few mistakes on my own allowed the lead car to pull away a little and I ran out of time to catch and pass him. At least I still got the TQ and finished 2nd?





Expert Stock Buggy, SDRC 11/18/16

So. I've restored to getting screen shots of the results on my desktop now, as I can see all of the finishing positions.

The track was dry and dusty, so I switched over to my gold dirt webs as those tires have taller pins compared to my current set of electrons, which have bald sections on them. 

I managed to win my heat for round 2, but my run was only fast enough for the 8th spot in the Main. 

I had a good start moving up a few spots, but I got caught in someone else's wreck and dropped back. I ended up finishing where I started.

40+ Buggy Again?!

I raced the old guy buggy class again, but this time with my B5m, at SDRC Saturday 11/5/16. 





I was able to get theTQ, but the TQ curse struck and I made a few early mistakes and dropped back to 4th, then back to the lead, then back to 2nd. A mistake in the closing laps dropped me 3rd. 

Not a fan of the updated Liverc site for mobile screen shots of the race results. Lol!
