RAD Race Day

I attended SDRC's RAD (Racer Appreciation Day) race this past Saturday.  This race marked the 3 year anniversary of the transfer of ownership of SDRC from Scott Bergen to Travis Brock.  This race is usually popular due to the $0 entry fee for 2 classes!

I would only race in 1 class, Sportsman Buggy, which had the most entries, with 48.  The mains went down to an F main!  For round 1 of qualifying I would finish 2nd in my heat and was seeded 7th overall.  The 2nd round would be faster, and while I improved my time, I was bumped out of the A main and be seeded 9th overall :(

I started the B main in the BQ position and put in 1 lap before I stuffed the exit of the bowl turn and dropped down to 3rd.  A short landing on the triple dropped me down to 5th :(.  I worked my way back up to 3rd by the end of the race, but unfortunately only the top 2 transfer to the A main :(.

The highlight of my day was my lunch from "Fresh Off the Bowl", the lunch caterer for the RAD race.  I had the pork bowl with an over easy egg on top.  Yum!

Oh ya. I got a new 2wd buggy!  A TLR 22 5.0 SR!

2017 Stats

TQ's: 3
1st: 3
2nd: 2
3rd: 2

I wasn't keeping track very well though, as the new Live Time format doesn't allow for good screenshots on my phone, so I stopped keeping track of my stats.  Which is why I haven't posted much in the past year.

On to 2018!

SDRC Supercross Series Race #2

This race was more like a big club race vs a Top Notch event like race #1. I decided to add Mod Truck to my classes, as I got the urge to race my T5m during the week.

Joey was running Mod SC, thus was in a different class in terms of the series points.

I guess I blinked? Lol!  I qualified last in the A main,  The 2 positions behind me bumped up from the B main.  I keep my nose clean and avoid the wrecked cars and work my way up to 3rd!

Worthless SDRC Supercross Series Race #1!

This race was epic!  19 heats!  Finished racing at 1am!

I only raced 40+ Buggy so I had lots of time to fly my tiny FPV quad around SDRC between races.

I battle for 4th in the closing minute but crash on the triple and end up in 5th. Oh well.
