Got in a great night of fun racing at Warehouse 3 in Phoenix. Last week they started their point series for both Wednesday and Friday nights. I can not race on Wednesday nights, so I am racing in their Friday night point series This is a 7 round race series with 2 throw out rounds. I already missed round 1, so that will obviously be my first throw-out. I was hoping to get my TLR 22 Buggy finished for I could start racing that night, but my motor and ESC came in on Friday, and I did not have time to finish the build. I am really looking forward to getting my 22 on the track.

On to the racing, tonight I decided to switch and run in the novice class with my friend Dragi from Wolfpak Racing. He just recently started racing in the short course class, and will be running novice for the point series, so I decided to go ahead and run the point series with him.
Qualifying Round 1 (5 min):
Heat 1 placed Dragi and myself in the same heat together, and although I did not place were I wanted too, Dragi edged me out and I place 4th in the heat, with a personal best of 20 laps.

Dee 18 5:01 Frank L. 20 5:20
Al 18 5:11 Buzz Kill 6 1:36
Qualifying Round 2 (5 min):
For the second heat, both myself and Dean did not get a chance to take a picture of finishing order for heat two the Dragi and myself were in, so we are not sure of the finishing order for round 2/heat 2, sigh.

Novice B-Main (5 min):
Dragi did amazing in the B-Main leading most of the main, but a late mishap dropped him back, and he ended up placing 3rd in the main. As for me, I must have decided to close my eyes for part of this race because I could not get the truck to hook up right, and I finished with only 18 laps.
