Well-rested from the day before, I once again packed all my excessive gear back into my car, hit a local McDonalds for Breakfast, grabbed a case of water for the day, and some snacks because I would more than likely forget to eat again for lunch and dinner, and hit the track.
Once I got out of the car and to the pit table, it hit me why I love indoor racing so much, the convenience. Here I was, freezing at 5am in the morning trying to get my shade and pit table setup. When I race indoor, I bring my race bag and chair and that’s it, lets go racing. off road racing requires a little more equipment, but luckily I came prepared and setup my sweet pitspot for the day, ready to go.
my plan today was just to get through the quals and see where my cars were. first up with 2WD mod buggy. The RC10M DID NOT like the loose conditions, almost undrivable. I knew this car was not the car for this track, I’d try a few things during the day, but it wasn’t gonna work out. Next was the RC10T, which was fine, but having a sport radio with a completely different feel than my M12 with my RC10M, nope. I would muscle the car around, overshoot or undershoot jumps constantly, and deal with weird bump steer. Despite a loosening motor, and broken A-Arm mount screw-head I’d finish 5 of the 6 Qualifiers for the day.
Feeling incredibly optimistic I’d start building another RC10 World car rear motor during the day, and finish it up late into the night making a mess of the hotel room. at 1:30am I’d finally pass out and get some rest to start at the back of the field.
