Sportsman

With the holidays in full swing, I was able to get out for another race.  This time I decided to race the B5M and the 22T2.0 in 17.5 and 13.5 classes on a very busy night at the local track.

To my horror, when I got to the track I realized they had changed the layout and I had no time on the new layout at all.  I got in maybe 10-15 laps with the cars to make sure everything worked, then went straight into qualifying.

It was pretty tough driving the Losi, I don’t drive it much and the setup is not quite there (mostly tire issues I think).  I basically qualified last and entered the B-main in last and finished one ahead of a guy who crashed and popped a ballcup.  Not a great result and shows I definitely need to get some more practice and setup time with the truck.

Things went much better with the B5M lite.  First qualifier I TQ’d, the second one I nose-planted off the start (lol!) and started the A-main 3rd.  The race went pretty smoothly, I had to be turn-marshalled twice, but finished on the podium.  Pretty happy with my result, this was actually my first official Sportsman race.  The previous one I qualified too high and had to race Expert, lol.
