Well today was race day. There were 9 1/8th buggies and the rusult... 1st place the the cheapest car in the field [8D]
We had 3 heats and then the final. The heats were divided into two groups. In the heats my results were 1st, DNF due to muffler coming off in a bingle with another car and 1st in the last heat. In the final all the cars were put together. My first half of the race was pretty bad but I managed to work my way up to the front. The final was close. I won by less than 1 second. The car felt very good with the changes I made, I don't think I'll change anything else for the next round.
There were some pretty good cars in the field inluding a couple of Hyper 7 prospec's and a Mugen MBX-5 Prospec. At least this shows you don't need to spend mega $$ to be competative in racing.
Thanks very much to everyone who gave me setup advise.
