I see there were alot of questions, so I hope I answered them all? First, I had a blast and a somewhat successful weekend. My goal was to get in the A Main. Thats all I wanted to accomplish. After 2 rounds of qualifying, I think I may have been on the bottom of the A based on the times I was hearing. They never let you know where you were. Only mentioned who the current TQ was. Sunday was round 3 of qualifying. After 2 laps, my buggy stopped moving. My brother-in-law ran over to it and gave me the squeeze the throttle jesture. I did, the engine was still running? After I got back to the pits, I found my engine came loose and pulled away from the center diff? I was ........angry. So I put lock-tite on the screws and got back out for the last minute. My final qualifying spot was second in the B Main. The top 2 transfer to the A. I told my Bro to make sure he gets me out front at the starting line. He gave me a good throw. I got out in second and passed the leader by the first lap. It was bye bye after that. I was never challenged the whole race. I went the entire 5 minute B-Main on all 4 tires. Never got on my lid. I had only 1 mishap. I nosed into a corner and needed a Marshall to get me going. Im not too sure, but I think I may have lapped everyone up to second or third place? That was the best buggy race I have had to date. Hit my lines. Hit my turns, and the most important thing, I never got up side down. So I bumped up to the A-Main. Well that didnt go as well as the B. I flamed out. My brother-in-law got me going really fast but I did drop down a lap. I flamed out a second time, and again got going quickly. The A-Main is 10 minutes long with a mandatory pit stop. Once he got me going the second time I was lit the rest of the race. I was never passed by any of the front runners and managed to get up to 8th position. So I was extremely happy with the weekend. I met my goal of getting in to the A-main. This car is for real.
Now on to the questions.
DaSmak - The name of the club is called Dirt Runners. The site address is, www.dirtrunners.com.
46U - We have one class for the buggies. 1/8th scale buggy off road. The results will be posted sometime this week on the clubs web site, www.dirtrunners.com. I dont know what the final buggy count was? There were 4 heats for 1/8th scale buggy thats all I can tell you. Some of the guys left after qualifying on Sunday, so its hard to give an accurate count? Maybe 27 to 30 buggies?
OSKR - The stock springs are good for all around fun, but racing I agree they are a little soft. I purchased Kyosho springs and was running the blues in the front, and the whites in the rear. A remarkable different from the stocks. The car was jumping and handling much better with that set up.
So thats it. I had a blast, killed'em in the B-Main, and managed to move up 2 spots in the A even though I flamed out twice. Im happy with my results and look forward to the next and last race of the season.
