Halloween weekend racing

It’s been months since I last raced, but there was a special Halloween race on Saturday night, so I got to race 17.5 2WD buggy and 13.5 2WD truck. 

In buggy, there were 3 mains, I qualified 3rd in the B-main with my B6, and finished 3rd.  Probably could have finished 2nd and moved up to the A-main, but really didn’t focus on my driving and crashed a few times.

In truck, I qualified 3rd overall (only one main) with my 22T 2.0 and finished 3rd, which was pretty much where my speed was at.  The kids that finished 1st and 2nd were a lot faster, so there was no way I was going to finish higher than 3rd unless they did something ridiculous.  Truck still had new tires that weren’t really broken in, but I drove a pretty clean race.  Overall times were about a half second/lap slower than my 17.5 buggy.  I have a few thoughts on setup that I think could improve my times by a few tenths.

Overall I had a great time.  I’d like to get out more, but weekend races are few and far between.  Almost all the racing is on weekdays.
