Update on the CRCRC race! Track is very technical, fast flowing, big
difficult jump, and high traction. Easily the most technical track I
have ever raced on. It is quite cold...Burton fabricated OCM's first
EZ Bake Buggy Oven....We went to Target last night and bought up a
couple Tupperware containers. Cut holes in the tops and mounted
electric heaters to it. Drilled a few holes in the sides and now have
our very own Buggy Oven...Works pretty well. Was able to maintain 90*
in the container...As for breakage, the cold did a number on two lower
arms of mine and a knuckle and steering link of Alan's. Considering
how cold it is and the tumbles I took, the buggy has held up well..Only
have five tanks on it and it keeps getting better. Was amazed at how
much steering it had out of the box...Ohh I did shatter one OFNA Tru
Lite wheel...Mental note, if you're racing in cold climates, don't run
the OFNA wheels. Alot of fast guys up here, Truhe looks like the man
to beat. Burton's ride looks fast..Made a couple changes today in
spring rate..Last couple practices went well as he and Truhe were
running right there together. Should be a fun Amain...Good thing I get
to watch!!!! The OCM Team guys should be coming in tomorrow. We'll
keep you posted...

getting a good hold on the OCM in regards to driving it aggressivly which has been the over all method that ive had work well for me.
