Well, it's been about two and a half months since I've done any offroad racing. CRCRC decided to put on an all SCT(short course truck) race today. I thought it was a perfect opportunity for me to get back into the groove. "Not So Much!" How should I start to explain my (not so wonderful) day? Well it started off pretty good. I didn't have any issues at all during practice. The program would run 3 qualifiers and a main. The first qualifier I bent the front left wheel axel. Of course I didn't have a spare. But to the rescue a fellow racer lent me one that he had just replaced on his truck. It wasn't perfect, but it was better than mine. After the first qualifier ti was apparent that it was going to take a good 15 lap run to make the A Main. In my first qualifier I ran a 14/5:11. After making some changes to the truck that I thought felt good, the second and third qualifiers weren't really any better. I ran a 14/5:06 in the second qualifier and a 14/5:09 in the third. That landed me 5th in the B Main. The main started and ended much like the qualifiers. I started 5th and ended 5th. I managed to make it up to 3rd briefly before a weird landed after the triple landed me upside down for about six seconds. I fell all the way back to 7th because of that. After working my way back up to 4th, I tried to slip underneath someone in a turn and ended up catching a tube. So it was 5th that I would end up. I'M RUSTY!!!! LOL :-)
