This will be a fun build and I am hoping to get it done for a debut at Warehouse 3 this Friday, praying that my electronics arrive in time.

Today my TLR 22 Buggy came in, and man am I excited. I can't wait to get started on this kit. I plan on running the rear motor configuration, and will be replacing the stock body with the JConcepts Illuzion - Finnisher body.

Father and Son practice at HobbyTown SRS
Sunday, January 22, 2011
Sunday was a great day to be outside, the weather was nice, and me and my son Frank Jr. were itching to get out lay down some laps with my short course truck. So we decided to head on down to HobbyTown SRS in Scottsdale. My older brother Raymond has just got into the sport, and we decided to all head down together to get in some practice.
My brother bought himself an ECX Torment for his first RC vehicle, which I feel is a good starter Short Course truck for someone just entering the RC Racing scene. My son and I practiced with my HPI Blitz SCT.
This was my sons first time out at any track, and he did amazingly good for his first time out at this track. He even hit the big jump in front of the drivers stand once. Hopefully soon I can get him down to one of the tracks and enter him into the novice or kids class.

Friday, December 30th, 2011
Got in another great night of racing over at Warehouse 3 in Phoenix. It was a packed house, and the night looked to be full of great racing. My friends from over at Wolfpak Garage made the trek, and Dean decided to race his truck tonight in pro-lite with me. After getting setup in the pits, I was ready for some action, and the truck was feeling great in practice.

Pro-Lite - B-Main (5 min.):
With my performance in the heats, I was starting 5th out of 7 drivers in the B-Main. The top 2 drivers would advance onto the A-Main, and my friend Dean from Wolfpak Garage was starting 2nd in this main. With a good start I was able to hold out and start off with being in third and was able to hold onto this until about the mid-way point of the race. I felt I was driving a good race, but about half-way through a few miss-timed crashes put me back a bit, but I managed to race my way back to a 5th place finish. Once again I missed my 20 lap goal for the night by a narrow margin. But my friend Dean was able to finish 2ns able got bumped into the A-Main.
B-Main:
Cory: 22 Laps - 5:12
Dean: 22 Laps - 5:15

Racing down at Warehouse 3
Friday, Dec. 23rd, 2011
Its been awhile (Sept) since I have been down to Warehouse 3, and the track is now different from when I was here last. The layout looked great, and I looked forward to a great night of racing. There was a good sized crowd down there, including my friends from Wolfpak Racing (Dean and Dragi).
I entered into the Pro-Lite class with my HPI Blitz, after getting in a few practice sessions, I was getting used to the track.
Round 1:
18 Laps
Round 2:
18 Laps
B-Main:
Here is the video my friend took of me racing in the B-Main, I am the Orange and Black Blitz starting in seventh spot. I had a complete meltdown on the first lap, and crashed three times. The remainder of the main did see some improvements, but I could not catch up after that, and the crashing continued, lol.
