Got in another round of racing down at HobbyTown in Gilbert AZ. It was a great day, slight breeze for most of the day and a great group of people. It was another good turnout, and I believe there was about 24 heats of racing. For this day, I did VTA Oval and Sportsman Road Course. I had my new VTA body mounted and ready for today's racing. I still have not painted the new body for the Touring Car, I've had that new body since December, and its been sitting on the shelf daring me to paint it, lol. Maybe next weekend I break out the paint and whip up a new paint scheme for the touring car.
Pits setup and ready for racing. |
New VTA body, don;t have the stickers on it yet, but will for the next outing. |

Round 2
Round 2 had a lot of racers in Heat 1 of round 2 breaking out, but with two other drivers hitting the 32 lap mark, and me only doing another 31 laps, it pushed me back to starting 1st in the B-Main.

A-Main and Cancelled B-Main
The B-Main was cancelled because 3 out of the 4 drivers for the B-Main broke, and could not start the race, so they moved the one driver into the A-Main so there was 5 of us.
