Default racing pics

Alright, we all know that everyone has great pics of their cars, but many of us like to see them in some racing action. My first 1/8th race is next weekend.... so i will be posting mine then. If you got them, show them. The ones with some air over the doubles.... or through the rythm section, passing, digging ruts throughout a 1 hour main, throwing roost... etc. That is why we love these cars anyways right?

It's ten hours for me to Boggy creek. I've already been twice this year and will be going back as many times as i can swing it. here's a pic of a Bergonzoni buggy over the table top.

It's a bit on the small side, but it's a great little blue groove track. They have a strong electric and 10th scale gas turnout and a decent MT crowd when I was there last year. They don't allow 8th buggies or didn't last year, but with the size of the track they wouldn't be very much fun.

We have a few tracks around here in the Tampa Bay area. We have Lake Park in tampa which is public and maintained decently. And we have Minnreg in Clearwater, FL which is a club track but open to the public and is maintained extremely well!

After racing in the US for many yrs and now trying to race here in Europe everything is different. I had to re-tune my motor for weather, change my diff for carpet and all the other odd surfaces here and change my shocks for the lack of jumps. The worst part is back home I had a track 10 min from my house. Now to go to a track I have to drive 2+hrs for a good race. But you know what....... me and the Nitro_Keebler are going to try to bring a little sunshine and flava from the US. Good luck to all in their races.
