Brian, the races were awesome. Honestly, the best race i've had in a looong time. Yup, i broke parts, nope i didnt win. But the race iteself, was heated, respectful, and fun. I also got to wheel post watchers truck, and batmans. Lets just say i've gotta change my suspension. I TQ'd, and almost put in 12 laps today. Ohhhh i was sooo close to 12 laps. lol. Batman was on pace to destroy my TQ, when he made a driving mistake in round 3. In the main, Al got the hole shot award, and had the lead early, until his body decided it was time for a pit stop, and did a "flip top head" maneuver. At that point i took the lead, and battled with the Bat. I had the lead up until i pitted at 10 minutes. Bat took me then. Then i got back out, and the bat took a pit stop, and i put nearly a lap on him there. He must have had a horrible pit. At about 5 minutes left, i saw the bat about 2 turns behind me. I came thru the whoops, and nailed a marshall, and 2 stopped trucks. The bat got away... Again. LOL Batman had me by i believe about a half a lap, and took the win. I took 2nd, with Jake in 3rd, Al in 4th. I believe those two guys were only down one lap, and on the same lap. Jake had a flameout, and the Post watcher had the mentioned body issue. If it werent for those two things, all of us would have been on the same lap, running real close. My setup changes were good for this weekend also. Without em, i would have been destroyed out there. I extended the truck with the optional arms, and dropped my center diff down to 300k. Last weekend i was getting wheelies with my 300/500 mix. The track is also super sticky. There is a ton of traction to be had in the groove. Also, i ran the MMGT today. WOW! This truck shocked me. I knew its suspension seemed really nice, but i was shocked by how well it handled. I had nooo problems at all throwing down clean laps with it. Since i was only on tank 4, i never let it get into 2nd on the straight. I was on a mission to find 12 laps, so i didnt run it in the 3rd qualifier. Which was a really good thing. If i hadnt run my revo in round 3, it would have broken in the main. I had a pillow ball pull out of the arm. Im guessing it was from last weekend, when i got savaged into the pit wall. Anyway, it was an awesome race day. Batmans faster than chit, and i've simply gotta dial it up. I need to get my suspension right as well. My diffs feel really good though. But i may go with the one way, and ditch the center diff, just for more punch. Batmans stuff has some giddy up' with that .21 in it. Thats about it though. Batman, thanks for lettin me wheel the batmobile. Same to you mr PW, thanks for lettin me wheel the PW mobile.
