TLR Series, Round 1, OCRC- Mains

Well, I'm all packed up and ready to run my main then head home. I decided to gear down slightly by going to a 72 spur and keeping the same 35 tooth pinion. Hopefully this gets the internal motor temp closer to 160. I ended up qualifying 6th in the B. Boo! Lots of fast guys here tonite though (at least that's what I'm telling myself).

TLR Series, Round 1, OCRC- Round 2 Qualifying Update

Just finished round 2. Car felt better. Top 5 avg lap time went from 23.523 to 22.251 and fast lap from 22.631 to 21.481. Finished 4th in my heat, but still somewhere in the B Main. I need to do the jump onto the table and into the whoops to drop my lap time more, but can't do it consistently. The new tires felt good, but I noticed that the TQ is running nearly bald rear tires?! Motor temp dropped to about 150, on the outside of the can. Got a temp on the sator inside the motor of almost 170! Maybe I'll drop my gear more and get a temp on the stator for the main. Hmmm...

TLR Series, Round 1, OCRC

Waiting here in my pit for round 1 of qualifying to finish in a few minutes. Man am I rusty! No speed, thus 2 seconds a lap down on the TQ. Had a bunch of crashes my first 2 practice runs, then got the hang of the track during the next 2 packs. But, my lap times suck :(

Well at least I finally got my motor up to temp. Temped at 165 after round 1 of qualifying, so I geared down 2 teeth (no option to gear down 1 tooth) from 69:37 for the next round. Also, decided to bust out a new set of Gold Barcodes, as my other set is basically flat (foam is gone).
