RC Racing at Warehouse 3

Friday, February 24th, 2012

Got in another great night of racing over at Warehouse 3 in Phoenix on Friday night.  This time I decided to just concentrate on racing my new TLR 22 Buggy, so i left the SC Truck at home.  Friday night I was met down at Warehouse 3 with my friends from Wolfpak racing (Dean and Dragi), and I was looking froward to seeing Dean's new Kyosho RB5 on the track.  This would be the second time that I was able to race my new TLR 22, and I looked forward to getting in some good racing and much needed practice.

Dragi from Wolfpak on the left, and my daughter Laura on the right, all setup in the pits.

Since I am still new to racing my new TLR 22, I decided to join my friend Dragi from Wolfpak Racing and enter into the Novice 2WD Buggy class.  Once again I had my little cheering section, my daughter Laura decided to come along tonight and watch me race.


Novice 2WD Buggy - Round 1
Round 1 went okay, I had a few spills over some of the jumps, still getting used to jumping the buggy compared to jumping my short course truck.  Overall not bad, i finished in 3rd, 1 lap down from the leaders.

Novice 2WD Buggy - Round 2
Round 2 went a lot smoother, I was able to stay on the lead lap, and although finished with the same time, I was able to improve by an entire lap, and finished in 3rd with 19 laps.  Kerri also made a big improvement over the first round pulling 18 laps, a 2 lap improvement over round 1.

Novice 2WD Buggy - A Main
The A-Main started out very badly for the first lap, but after that we all settled down, but it was too late, Dragi was way out in front riding on rails in front of us.  Schreck had problems with his motor and pulled off early, but was able to come back into the race.  I was able to make up some time, and finished in 2nd 1 lap down with 19 laps.  Congrats to Dragi from Wolpak Racing for getting his first ever A-Main win with his buggy. WOOT.
